Expedition Lodge Estes Park

I liked the refrigerator and microwave. The beds were comfortable and clean. The bathroom shower had mold and it wasn’t clean, but it worked fine. The staff were friendly. We had 2 rooms. One room got cleaned once after asking. The other room was never cleaned even after asking. Overall a pleasant stay and the outside deck was very nice. Very convenient to the mountains and downtown.

I would say this property was not as advertised. Our room said “Mountain View” but we were on the back side of the motel.. lower level.. definitely no Mountain View. The pictures posted were also very misleading.

A special thank you to the young man in the breakfast area who kindly helped me prepare my waffle. excellent customer service!

Me travel. Me stop at hotel. Me get key. Key work good. Room clean. Room large. Me sleep good. Shower nice. Hear elk. See tourists chasing elk. Me take picture of tourist chasing elk from balcony. 5/7 would stay again.

This was a nice hotel in a great location. We would have loved to sit on the deck with the nice view and fire pits but 2 buses of a youth church group pretty much took over the whole deck with their sing a long. 😩

Awesome

Donavan is a awesome employee helped us a lot

The room was not very clean and there was a bit of mold around the tub. The view from room was great and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was decent but a hodge pudge of things. Staff was very helpful and location was good.

The hotel allows pets, and we had a bad experience with a neighbor who let their dog bark on and off all night. The staff tried to locate the room with the dog, but the barking was not continuous. After at least 4 calls to the front desk, they located the dog, but the dog continued to bark occasionally through the night. We enjoyed a lot of other aspects of the hotel, but not being able to sleep most of the night ruined our experience here.

Parking lot is very tight - like 10 point turn to exit a stall, tight. Rooms smelled musty and old. 2 lamps in our room did not work. Shower head is at neck height so you have to duck to put your head under. Breakfast to open at 7am but opened closer to 8. Rooms echo and bar area was noisy. Convenient location, mediocre price. I’d recommend elsewhere.

Our first night here we realized that a lot of the outside doors to the hotel rooms don't close on their own or have handles on the back side and will stay unlocked if you let them and partially open. In the morning when we went down for coffee and breakfast that was supposed to be with the room, The lady at the front desk told us it would be available at 7:00 and when I asked about the coffee she said nobody has made it yet. There were 40 or more people waiting outside the breakfast area when they told us that the breakfast person didn't come in yet no one else stepped up to do it. When the manager finally decided to do it himself, he put out salad toppings and chili for young families with kids wanting breakfast. Inexcusable they had hours to figure this out and did nothing.

We had a nice room in the large, beautiful hotel. Unfortunately, though, we could hear a lot of noise from the guests staying next door in the evenings and at night.

Great option for us while in Estes Park

Clean room, easy to park

Property was a disappointment. Barking dog in next room. Very dated with chips in the hallway halls. Shower door sliding channel rusty. Breakfast was a big zero. No scrambled eggs, danish, English muffins, bagels and bacon.

The building is old, carpeting in common areas look ready for a refresh, but our room and bathroom was in good shape. The furniture was nicely furnished, nothing looked scuffed up. Unfortunately, good news end there. WiFi never worked. We could connect to it, but we never got an internet connection, neither in our room nor in the lobby. Staff had no idea how to fix it and frankly they showed little inclination to do so. They have water station to fill bottles, but water came out warmer than tap water. I assume the cooling system broke and staff did not care to get it fixed. Calling breakfast sparse would be an understatement, especially when the waffle mix dispenser broke, leaving us with sad looking chopped up hard boiled eggs, pre sliced white bread, cereal and yogurt as pretty much our only choices. (Don’t expect whipped cream when the dispenser is fixed either.) No pastries, no omelettes. We stayed here for 4 nights and they never sent someone to clean up our room. I don’t expect service everyday, but that was a bit too much.

The property does not live up to the photos on their website. They did accommodate our request for early check in and the staff was pleasant. Our room was not very clean. Also the breakfast bar wasnt restocked quickly.

The staff were amazing, the room was clean and very well designed. The coin laundry co-located with the arcade was great.

The room was a little dated and could have been a little cleaner but overall the stay was good for the price.

Easy to park, friendly staff, clean room. If you don’t have a balcony, there’s a communal terrace with heaters and a view of the mountains where you can sit.
