Expedition Lodge Estes Park

Expedition Lodge Estes Park

10/10 Excellent
"Nothing beats the view on the second-story veranda; I loved that they had a bar right by the comfy and spacious outdoor seating. Staff were friendly, room and lobby were clean. Beautiful fire pit area & really nice game room. Cool but confusing layout— the construction areas and dated (but very clean) pool area gave backrooms vibes, but honestly I kind of liked it."

Hotel Estes

10/10 Excellent
"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!"
