Discovery Lodge

Discovery Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This place has a lot of charm. It’s a little worn and could use an update but the location is good for walking to the shuttles. Each room has a cute little patio or balcony you can sit on. The free breakfast was limited in options and they didn’t seem to be restocking anything so you should get there early. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. We would probably stay again."

"Great little place with one major issue. None of the rooms that I could see have blackout curtains on their front windows. With the front walkway exterior lighting shining right thru the windows it’s a wonder that more people haven’t complained."

"If you’re visiting RMNP, I’d most definitely recommend a stay at Hotel Estes. Awesome, friendly staff that are very approachable and helpful. It’s also fairly close to downtown Estes - which is home to a fair bit of amenities and restaurants (EV charging, grocery stores, laundromat). Most importantly, the backdrop. You walk out to the mountains staring you in the face. Gorgeous view!"
