We enjoy these “simple” properties where you can park by your door (easy luggage unload/load), super clean room, comfortable bed and actual friendly service. This place is just right.

Darrell, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a smaller, recently remodeled hotel. The rooms are on the smaller side, but this is Estes Park, you should be outside and not in your hotel room. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were kept clean. I would stay here again.
