Great little In for the money!

Here for one night during our trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Check-in was easy and the room was spotless. It was probably one of the cleanest rooms I have ever stayed in. All of the little conveniences were included. I would definitely recommend if you are staying in the Estes Park area.

Really good value in Estes. Very clean room and quiet. Breakfast could use a little more variety it is very basic. I also saw dog waste not picked up so I could not walk my dog at night on the grassy area but the space is very nice.

Not a comfortable place

The room was cold. There’s a heater in the room but it blows very low heat where I have to wear a jacket to sleep. Check out is at 11AM, however the card key was disabled in the morning. Good thing I was still in the room when my friend went outside to put stuff in the car otherwise we would have to go to the office to get re-entry back into the room.

If you do not have a car this property is located a ways from town although walkable if you are in pretty good shape. 1.1 miles there is easy but back before dark can be challenging. Loved my econ stay! Spectacular views all ways. Bed was very comfy and bathroom vanity and shower heads appeared new, Hot and pressure. Folks were really nice around there. Breakfast was convenient and good.

I come to Estes quite often & usually stay at the same two places, on this trip 12/27-12/29 we decided to stay at the Blue Door. Upon coming in there was a very thick sheet of ice in front of the stairs leading up to our room. No ice anywhere to be found anywhere on the property or Estes for that matter. You would think a property in the mountains in the winter time would have de-icer salt on hand. We booked the “premium suite” and upon entering was grateful we booked a premium room as I couldn’t fathom what the regular rooms looked like as ours was completely outdated and in dire need of some TLC! I literally found a dog turd in plain sight next to the couch & blood on the tile next to the tub. The property itself is completely covered in dog feces. No dog poo bags anywhere for guests to clean up after their pets. In the middle of the night another guest was banging on our door and trying to get in. My husband answered and the guy was clearly drunk and had no idea which room was his. The whole stay I felt unsafe and couldn’t wait to leave! Never again!

Disappointed

The property was covered in snow and ice, presenting dangerous conditions even to get into the office. This at a time when the community was clear of snow. Liability for ownership in Colorado is huge. They shouldn’t advertise continental breakfast. Very limited and low quality choices. Interior of rooms in need of repairs and paint.
