Top Lake Estes Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Silver Saddle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I have a very picky wife when it comes cleanliness. My wife could not stop talking about how clean the hotel was. All the amenities were well-maintained and worked well. We enjoyed our stay."

Holiday Inn Estes Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was fine but staff didn’t clean, make beds or give us new towels each day. The lobby was nice and you get free s’more’s. The convenient elevator was out of service so the stay could have been much better."

Blue Door Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean, but minimal. No counter in the bathroom. The breakfast was nothing special but was good."

Appenzell Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing! Wish we had stayed longer, went for an early morning swim in the indoor and it pool was CHEFS KISS!!! Breakfast was yummy and the rooms were cozy :))) will DEFINITELY be back"

Estes Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very nice. We stayed in the family suite and it was great. Clean and beds were super comfy. The evening smores bar was a fun family treat. The indoor pool and outdoor hot tub were nice and just a short walk from our room. Breakfast was simple and good. Assortment of bread, bagels, cereal, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and a waffle maker with a nice bar of toppings. Location was also great and close to Stanley hotel Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again if I go back out that way."

Columbine Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I booked a comfort studio with a king bed and fireplace. The room was spacious with a kitchenette, a sleep sofa at the foot of the king bed, fireplace and TV over the fireplace. The rook was nicely decorated and modern. The bathroom was beautifully renovated. There was also a closet in the entry and a massage chair in the corner. The room and general areas were clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a common area outside with a hot tub, grill and table and chairs but we did not use them. The kitchenette was well stocked with all the necessary items one would need. Parking was out side of the room. The inn is right off of Route 34, a short drive from downtown Estes Park. We only stayed one night but would definitely stay again. They also offer a continental breakfast."

The Stanley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the property with history and ghosts at night very interesting"

The Estes Park Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The resort was well maintained and the guest rooms have been nicely renovated. The reception staff were welcoming and helpful. I particularly liked the restaurant’s dinner menu, but sadly it had only a limited selection for breakfast and the staff was not motivated. Something to work on to match the rest."

Luxury Lakefront Retreat on Lake Estes

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing Place and views. Very clean and perfect space we were a party of 6 and had an incredible time. Definitely will be back, thank you Trent for taking care of us."
