Great lodge and location with attentive staff.
Pros:

Great location and very nice staff and loved ending our night with s’mores!!!

Cons:

For some reason we were given an accessible room with an “open “ shower which made showers interesting. Also, group tours gathered right outside of our room. I wish they had assigned the room to someone from the tour group.

Overall, it was great.
Pros:

Beautiful space and location! The bed was amazing g - VERY comfortable. Two of the front desk staff members were great, above expectations and very friendly fly.

Cons:

No blow dryer available? How is it possible in this year? There was no cream when we went down for coffee at 9am. Very limited bar options.

Pros:

L’emplacement uniquement.

Cons:

Les chambres sont froides et pas agréables. Seul le hall d’accueil est joli. Mal insonorisé on entend la route, les voisins etc.. nous avions pleins de fiantes de pigeons devant la chambre, nettoyées au jet d’eau à forte pression, l’eau est passée sous la porte ce qui a inondé l’entrée de la chambre et nos affaires. Des frais de séjour prélevés sans être informés. Le prix n’est pas du tout justifié.

We'd stay here again at about half the price.
Pros:

Clean, cute property with a lovely bar and fire pit out back. Decent location within walking distance to downtown Estes. We'd stay here again if it wasn't so pricey. Loved the fire pit out back. Pretty views.

Cons:

Walls were very thin and our trash in our room still had a beer can in it when we checked in. Bare bones room but it was what we needed. Was too pricey for what it was in my opinion, and then we were charged a $25 amenities fee on top of everything after we left. No one had told us about that. For what? Who knows. Not many amenities. A hot tub or breakfast would have been nice. $400+ for one night was too much, Labor Day weekend or not.

Pros:

Location, clean room

Cons:

The air conditioning wouldn’t go below 72. They came to fix. But it never would go below 72. I know some places lock it to a certain temperature. So if you like cooler temperatures at night. Don’t expect it be that way.

Pros:

Das Personal war sehr hilfsbereit und hat uns auf die "The Outpost Lodge" umquartiert: In ein Zimmer mit Balkon, das mehr Privatsphäre bot, als the Trailhead Lodge (Die Zimmer der Trailhead Lodge haben nur ein Fenster zum Parkplatz und bieten dadurch keinerlei Privatsphäre, es sei denn man zieht den blickdichten Vorhang zu.)

Eine preisliche Anpassung auf die eigentlich günstigere, weil einfachere "The Outpost Lodge" wurde aber nicht gewährt.

Cons:

Wir sind einen Tag früher als gebucht abgereist, da das sehr chlorhaltige Wasser starke Hautreizungen verursachte. Ein kulantes Entgegenkommen gab es nicht und 100% Storno musste gezahlt werden.

Pros:

The pool was nice after a hot day. Lovely mountain views. Nice to sit outside on the evening

Cons:

The price was extortionate. I expected a large luxurious hotel. This is basically a motel. Tiny bathroom.
