YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

8/10 Good
"We were put in the Three Sisters building kind of got the feeling this might have been the overflow building. We were just greatful for a place to stay as we were in the middle of an extended road trip and being in Estes Park was not part of our plan especially in the middle of Labor Day weekend."

Alpine Trail Ridge Inn

8/10 Good
"We were a little unsure when we first pulled in. The pictures were a little misleading, but the room was clean and roomy. The people who arrived ahead of us were apparently difficult and the manager was a little upset and not super friendly. After she had a chance to calm down, she was very helpful and pleasant. The balcony view was a little disappointing. Yes, the mountains were beautiful, but didn’t particularly enjoy the highway view."

10/10 Excellent
"The cottage was so cozy and the view from the river was amazing! The check-in process was easy and the communication was prompt. One piece of information I would have found helpful was how to lock the door when leaving the property. The only thing I would say as a negative was how hot the cottage was without central cooling. The fan provided is definitely needed. I would stay here again!"
