Affordable and comfortable

Overall, it was a nice hotel for our stay. We came for hiking and sightseeing, and the hotel had a comfortable bed and room to sleep and get ready in. My only complaint is that we were there from Sunday-Thursday, and housekeeping didn’t come to our room once. We could have used more towels and a few other items for the room, but we made due with what we had. We weren’t even in the room the majority of the time, so there was plenty of time to get the room made up for us. Otherwise, good value for the price.

A room with a view . Good breakfast too. Walkable to town , just follow the path to the riverwalk. It was a good walk for me but maybe a long ways for some which is about a mile but picturesque views. Bring food with you since I didn’t drive , I got delicious food for 2 days worth at The Cafe next to the clock tower. My room is enough for me . I didn’t have a car . Took a tour from Denver to the Rocky Mountains and Estes Park , nice guide dropped me off at this hotel after Estes Park tour then took a shuttle back to Denver Hotel . Worked out pretty well for me.

I had a good stay at this hotel. No complaints perfect for a few nights to see estes park. It was easy to find and check in was fast. Lots of parking and very walkable. When I got to my room it was a nice little room. The only thing that was off was the temperature. It was so hot in that room! Obviously I turned on the ac but it was an older one so it was very loud and the ac was fared away from the bed, so cold air didn’t really reach the bed. So it was very hot in my room the whole night so I just decided to leave the window open, which was extremely cold. The fridge was sometimes going off being a little loud at night but that didn’t bother me to much. I only slept there one night so it wasn’t as big as an issue. Besides that I had a nice view on the mountains and a nice little breakfast to start the day. Check out was easy as well.
