Top Lake Estes Hotel Reviews

Coyote Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"Clean room, great location, saw elk outside the window, great view! The breakfast was filling and satisfying. We greatly enjoyed our time there!"

Columbine Inn

10/10 Excellent

"They take beautiful care of the motel. Rooms are all updated and very clean. Nice coffee bar, in the rooms. Towels in the bathroom were great, and we loved the pillows on the bed. Will be staying here again"

Discovery Lodge

8/10 Good

"The location is great: walk to town and not far from the park. The breakfast person showed up late one morning which was unfortunate since we had a big hiking day ahead. The driveway is problematic so I hope you will work on smoothing that out or better yet create a pass through with the golf facility. It’s tricky turning now. All that said, it was a nice stay and did serve our needs. The elk rut was outstanding!"

Best Western Plus Silver Saddle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was fairly spacious (2 Queen beds) and very clean. Cleaning staff did a good job cleaning the room and replacing towel. The breakfast food was hot. There was a swimming pool although we didn't use it."

Estes Mountain Inn

8/10 Good

"Good"

Holiday Inn Estes Park by IHG

8/10 Good

"The only drawbacks to the property during our stay were that one of the elevator banks wasn’t working and the air conditioner vent in the bathroom had so much dust and lint on it that it appeared it had not been cleaned in a long time. Looked unhealthy and just nasty to look at. Otherwise, the staff was helpful and our room was clean."

Luxury Lakefront Retreat on Lake Estes

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at Estes Park so much! This house was perfect! The location was great! Very quiet and so serene. Loved mornings and evenings outside by the fire pit. Elk love the back yard and we got to see many during our stay. Highly recommend!!"

The Estes Park Resort
