Top Gem Lake Hotel Reviews

Expedition Lodge Estes Park

8/10 Good

"The elk came right up to the hotel door during rut season."

Discovery Lodge

8/10 Good

"Convenient location a short walk to the Visitors Center, great for elk viewing. I wasn’t thrilled having a front door of my vroom be a sliding glass patio door."

Quality Inn near Rocky Mountain National Park

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room courteous staff"

Murphy's Resort

8/10 Good

"We happened to visit during the elk rutting. Quite a spectacle right on the grounds, in the play ground! 18 or more. The front desk was always polite and helpful. The breakfast attendant was nice and friendly."

The Stanley Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is undergoing renovations, so parking was complicated. We had a very nice and comfy room. We enjoyed drinks and dinner in the Cascades Restaurant. Unfortunately it was a quick visit so we didn’t get to explore the property more."

Columbine Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay at the Columbine Inn. We loved that it is located on the east side of Estes Park (near the lake) and away from the hustle and bustle of the city near Rocky Mountain NP. Many restaurants are located in close proximity. The Inn has been thoughtfully remodeled and updated. The staff—shout out to Shirley!—was great! Shirley was most helpful and super friendly and personable. She takes a great deal of pride in what she does—very dedicated to her guests. Breakfast was ample with lots of choices. The room was very quiet, very clean and a great hot shower! This is a wonderful place to stay for a stay in Estes Park and we loved supporting the mom and pop establishments and this was a great choice!"

Estes Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Oh my goodness! Where do I start? The property is an older property but have had upgrades in the past couple of years. Rooms were clean and neat. We loved having breakfast at the office before venturing out into town. We had elk walking past the hotel both days. RMNSP is just a short drive from there. And, they do smores nightly by the fire pit. Another highlight of the trip. Staff were always friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend! We will be back!"

Blue Door Inn

10/10 Excellent

"They upgraded our room on arrival. The rooms was clean and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others staying in Estes Park."

Best Western Plus Silver Saddle Inn
