Hotel berhampiran Estes Park Mountain Shop, Estes Park

I can't recommend this place enough, what a GREAT stay we had! Just up the road from Estes Park proper, but within driving distance to EVERYTHING. The rooms here are very well-tended, housekeeping is top-notch, as are Austin and Sam at the front desk, tending to your every need. The fireplace in the lobby is very inviting, the free breakfast is excellent, and the pool is open and very refreshing! The game room is well appointed, the mountain views are spectacular, and watching the elk just outside our door was too cool! And while I am well aware that nothing is perfect, this place comes pretty close, at least for us, it did. Please put Expedition Lodge on your list for a great place to stay, when visiting Estes Park. We will be back again!

We booked 3 nights at the coyote mountain lodge during the 4th of July for our first family vacation. The accommodations that we booked were the King Suite. The balcony with the mountain view, we believed would be perfect for our 2 boys to watch the Elk and Deer graze. When we got there, my husband checked in while I and the boys waited in the car. The ”suite” they attempted to give us was room 220. On their website, the suites that we booked are numbered 701 - 705. My husband instantly knew something was wrong. After looking at the ”suite”, my husband went back to the front desk. It was not what we booked. They said that there was a ”over booking” issue. They offered to put us in the Condo for the night, with the promise that we could move into our actual accommodations the next day after people checked out. Our night in the condo was wonderful. The private balcony had a beautiful view. The boys enjoyed all the space that it provided. The hotel's breakfast consisted of yogurt being left out on the counter, mini boxes of cereal and packaged muffins. Disappointing start of the morning. The next day, my husband went back to the front desk and talked with the hotel manager. They informed him that the ”suite 220” was the only accommodation available. As it was the 4th of July and we couldnt afford to stay at another hotel and the management knew that. We were forced to move to room 220. A cramped ”suite” with views of the pool and highway in the back and views of a rooftop in the front. When you pay over $900 for a hotel room, you expect what you pay for. We paid for mountain views and space! This was a bait and switch and to put in plainly, Fraud! They have offered a half refund for our stay. Still wanting on it to this day. Save yourself the money and find some other place to stay. This place is run by crooks.

Close to main drag with stores and restaurants by a short walk. There are closer places to stay but this is close enough. We ended up driving to the main ***** but could walk. Plenty of free parking lots on main *****. Hotel had a lot of amenities such as fire pits with coupon for a s’mores kit per person per stay included. There is a $15/ day charge for amenities. Had indoor pool and hot tub. Pool was nice. Only complaint was they had disco lights on Thursday night which was annoying. Nice game room with old time arcade games for no charge with pool table, ping pong table, basketball goal and foosball. Had workout room but this really needs to be redone. Had old treadmill, bike and couple other things. Few kettlebells and weights. Free weights were lacking. Nothing between 5# and 20#. No free breakfast. Has a restaurant where you can purchase breakfast buffet for $17.99. Does have free Starbucks machine and flavored water machine. Room was comfortable with small mini fridge and 1 chair. Didn’t care for lamps by bed which dangled face down and pillows were not comfortable. Shower made a noise when it was running but bathroom very clean and showers worked well. Provided in room for use was pair of binoculars and a walking stick which we made use of. All in all I really liked the hotel. It was nice coming back each night and having options of things to do.
