The resort offers stunning views and a friendly atmosphere perfect for families. I loved the outdoor spaces for s'mores and relaxation, although the lack of sound insulation in the rooms diminished the experience. The room rates felt high compared to the quality provided, especially given some maintenance issues.

I had an overall good experience at this resort. The stunning views of Lake Estes were truly unforgettable and made the stay memorable. However, the room we had was somewhat outdated, and the bathroom cleanliness could definitely use some improvement. While the outdoor spaces are lovely to explore, the dining experience fell flat, particularly with the dinner options which were overpriced for what was served.

I had a beautiful stay at this hotel, enjoying the fantastic suite with stunning views and numerous amenities. The location by the lake was perfect for leisurely strolls and fishing. However, the service experienced by my family was inconsistent, and some staff members lacked hospitality training, which detracted from our overall experience.

5.6/10

While the hotel offers stunning views and exceptional outdoor spaces, my experience with the service was disappointing. The room I received was in an inconvenient location, and despite clean facilities, it felt cramped. I hoped for a more personal touch to enhance my stay, especially considering the prices charged for accommodations during a busy weekend.

The hotel has stunning views of Lake Estes and provides a serene atmosphere, making it perfect for a nature retreat. However, I found the room I booked to be a bit disappointing as it overlooked the parking lot rather than the mountains I had hoped for. The service was generally helpful, but some aspects need improvement for a more satisfying experience. The outdoor spaces are lovely, but the pool facilities left something to be desired.

Rooms

My room was a decent size but unfortunately faced the parking lot instead of the beautiful mountain views. A proper ventilation system would have improved the ambiance significantly.

I admired the outdoor spaces with fire pits and trails, ideal for relaxing. However, the spa room seemed to be in a strange location that we couldn't utilize due to weather.
