We were very pleased with our stay at the Maxwell Inn.
Pros:

The room was spotless. There was a good variety of items for breakfast. The firepit was relaxing at the end of the day. The hotel is a short walk to town. DVDs were available in the hotel lobby.

Cons:

No complaints.

Great location. A little old and to much light.
Pros:

Great location. Short walk to town with sidewalks the whole way.

Cons:

Outdated place. They had porch lights on all night. I unscrewed some light bulbs but they screwed them back in. We had to hang out blanket over the window.

I would definitely stay here again. It’s not fancy, but very quaint and quiet. Our room was clean!
Pros:

The Main Street shopping area.
Rocky Mountains. People where very friendly and it is a neat city.

Cons:

The breakfast was just okay. But a breakfast non the less. And they did have fresh fruit. 👍
We had food along so ate our own breakfast.

Great place to stay in Estes Park
Pros:

The Maxwell Inn is a great place to stay in Estes Park. Close enough to downtown but far enough away to be quiet and enjoy the surroundings. It is modern, clean, and comfortable.

Cons:

The continental breakfast is described as light and lives up to its billing, but I appreciate that it was included.

Great location, great owners.
Pros:

Very convenient location and a short walk to town. The red shuttle stops right in front of the Inn if you need it. The first night we had a climate control problem with the a/c and Dana was very responsive and was able to put another unit in for us. The room ( #2) was very clean and had everything we needed. Would stay here again.
