Coyote Mountain Lodge
Lovely place; but add on hotels.com presented a rooming situation that included a kitchen. That is just their main lobby and not apart of the suites. Staff were great just not what I thought I was getting

Discovery Lodge
Room was very hot and the website is misleading

The Estes Park Resort
One of the rooms didn't have cups for coffee and the TV did not work in room 212. I was disappointed that it did not have a hot tub or indoor pool. There should be one for a place referenced as a resort.

The Gateway Inn
Great location about 5 minutes from the west entrance to RMNP. Enjoyed the views from the onsite bar and grill with a tasty Pizza and a cold Coors light. Also rented snowmobiles about 10 minutes from the hotel. The room was comfortable, clean, plenty of space.
