Top Emerald Lake Hotel Reviews

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

8/10 Good
"The only reason not a 5 * is there are very few amenities. No TV and no air conditioning. Meals are available for breakfast, lunch and dinner but it is buffet only and not inexpensive. The buildings are old but well maintained. They have all kinds of activities available. If your church does church camps, then this is the place. The rooms are clean, nice bathrooms, comfortable beds. A good place to sleep. Scenery is awesome."

"This was an excellent place to stay while visiting Estes Park. It was a 15 minute drive to town. I especially enjoyed the easy hike 5minutes away around the lake. The staff was very nice and helpful. The mountain views from the deck were amazing. I would definitely stay here again."
