"We really enjoyed our stay at Estes Mountain Inn! A couple quick things- this is an older motel, so if you're used to the Ritz, check your expectations. Also, the breakfast is a continental breakfast, so don't expect culinary excellence. That said, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, the TV worked great, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the smores at night were a really fun touch! The location is good, easy walking access to Lake Estes, and a quick ride to downtown. We'd happily stay here again!"
