Blue Door Inn- near RMNP
Clean room, free breakfast, free adequate parking, and easy access to Rocky Mtn National Park. This is exactly the type of accommodations I like for visiting national parks out west. You might even see wildlife outside during your stay at the Blue Door. And the Mountain view from our room was amazing.

OK in Estes Park
Staff was helpful. The room was decent. Old, but in good condition. The exterior is in need of upgrading. The breakfast was minimal and the breakfast area was crowded since they don’t open until 7 am. Wi-Fi and tv channel options were very good.

Basic Clean hotel
Stayed here over the Fourth of July. Easy access about a mile and a half from downtown. Clean room. Outdated bathroom and old mattress. Pretty views and easy check-in. Hot tub broken and looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.
