Nicky's Resort

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Close to Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. The restaurant on site was an added bonus"

Lone Eagle Lodge

2/10 Terrible

"My stay at this hotel was one of the most disappointing and misleading experiences I’ve ever had. The hotel’s own information — both online and inside the room — was inaccurate, contradictory, and ultimately false, creating a situation where I had no choice but to leave and book another hotel the same night. The hotel’s listing showed photos of rooms with kitchens, which was the only reason I booked here. I’m on a strict diet and need a kitchen to prepare my meals. When I arrived, the manager informed me that none of their rooms have kitchens at all. Not a single one. Inside the room, there was even a notice stating that a communal kitchen was available in the lobby upon request. When I contacted the manager to access it, she told me there is no kitchen anywhere on the property for guests. This means the hotel’s own posted information was false — a complete misrepresentation of amenities. On top of that, there was no access to the lobby or front desk, not even for check‑in. The lobby was locked, and the hotel simply texted me a door code to enter my room. There was no staff presence, no in‑person assistance, and no way to speak to anyone directly. Shortly after checking in, the bathroom sink clogged completely. I contacted the manager, who said someone would come fix it, but no one ever showed up. Eventually, they stopped answering the phone altogether because they had no staff available to help. At that point, I had no kitchen, no support, and not even a usable bathroom"

Wildwood Inn

8/10 Good

"the property was great. the check in process (for me anyway) was poor. There was no one on property. I was supposed to get an email at noon on the day of check in and I didn't. I had to call and get them to send me an email while on the mountain top. Then I had to reenter all of my info to get the access code . It was a painful process with mountain wifi access. after that process, it went smoothly."

Big Horn Lodge

2/10 Terrible

"Got there and the room they had for us would the door would not open and the front desk clerk was new but nice. Had to leave and come back 90 min later and room was still not ready because she could not get in. Had to leave again and go back an hour later. Got there and she had a different room us, but we could not leave because the front lock would not work. Only had a king and she brought in a mattress and I had to Sleep on the floor. Also the room was clean but overall in bad shape. Lamps in drawers which was strange. Outside of the brand new front desk employee trying to help us out the overall experience is awful and would not stay there again."
