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.

8/10 Very good

Bathroom was very clean . The floor was gritty and wouid get the bottom of your feet dirty.
ELLA, 2-night trip

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 Outdated bathroom and old mattress.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.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay!

We loved our stay at the Blue Door! Maybe it’s an older place but inside our room everything was neat, tidy, clean, and there was no ‘old place’ smell. The water pressure in the shower was great and the bed was very comfortable. It probably only took us ten minutes to drive to the RMNP entrance from the inn and the area was quiet.
Rachelle, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our room was spacious and clean, and had a beautiful view of the mountains. Check-in was easy, breakfast was good, all around a great stay.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs help.

Poorly maintained: torn carpets on walkways. Swimming pool was green (algae.) Staff not rude but not friendly. On the positive point, breakfast was good, quiet and clean.

Meh

A rather well worn place. The fellow at the front desk was nice. As an aside, our room had no smoke detector, just a place in the ceiling where it should have been.
Charles, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs a little refreshing!!

The bathrooms were nice & clean but the rooms and doors needed some painting and updating.
Ron, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Meh …

Bed was comfy .. but the rooms could use some deep cleaning. Beds moved slightly with the kids, and they were pretty gross underneath. Made the room feel a little dirty. Shower curtain was moldy at the bottom. When I checked in the guy mentioned “luxury” and I was far from luxury! I’d stay again, just don’t expect AMAZING! I definitely overpaid for my 1 night stay.

Close to town, not too far from good hikes, and clean beds. The pack and play was pretty old and dirty, but most people won’t need that.

Front desk was very helpful and friendly. Had two rooms for me and a friend in her kids. Both of them were cute and clean. They allow animals for a small deposit.
