This was a great place for a weekend stay in Estes! Old Colorado feel, very clean. Breakfast wasn’t bad - just not a ton of choices. The only thing I’ll say that could be improved is the rooms need some updates, but are all very clean.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was small. It was clean. Bed was comfortable. Old worn furniture. The covering on the walkway was worn and tore up in a lot of places. Could create a trip hazard. The breakfast was only fair. The hotel is very old. Ok go one night. Very expensive for this level hotel.

I rented two rooms. Room #1 the lamps and outlet were broken and tub wouldn’t drain. Room #2 had no AC. We had some last minute issues and didn’t check out until right at checkout, 11 am, but our keys stopped working at 10:30 am, which caused more issues with getting out in time. Friendly staff.
