Always a good place to stay, but no MSNBC channel is a minus for me. Nice size bed and good air conditioning!

4/10 Fair

Disappointed
The property was covered in snow and ice, presenting dangerous conditions even to get into the office. This at a time when the community was clear of snow. Liability for ownership in Colorado is huge. They shouldn’t advertise continental breakfast. Very limited and low quality choices. Interior of rooms in need of repairs and paint.

Another pleasant experience
Have stayed at the Inn many times for quick getaways. Excellent location. Breakfast has scrambled eggs which I appreciate. Much better than most places having empty carbs.

2/10 Poor

Don't Trust All the Positive Reviews
Room has not been updated probably within the last decade. Mattress was most likely old or of low quality because it was out of shape. Bedside lamp was broken. Manager said he would get another lamp and I would also be compensated. They never brought in another lamp. Carpet was coming up and was a hazard on the outside balcony walkway! They failed to contact me after I sent them emails through Hotels.com and to their web site asking them about compensation they promised.I figured they would contact me because, before my trip they had no problem contacting me when i needed questions asked.Don't trust all the positive reviews about this place. This hotel is not worth it even though it might be cheaper than other hotels in the area.

2/10 Poor

Quality and cleanliness of the room was one of the worst I have seen. Poor lighting, ac unit was in living room and inadequate for the space and to cool the bedroom. Hair in the bathroom and bathtub. Felt dirty and no lighting in parking lot. According to the front desk, they have electrical issues and no other rooms with adequate lighting and AC were available. The room should not be rented out in this condition. Won’t ever go back.

Disappointed!
The floor in our room was discussing. It turned our socks black. Asked to make sure they cleaned it since we were staying another day and they did not! The breakfast was good but they failed to replace items in a timely fashion. Don't know that we would stay again.

Our room had to have been the most spic n span room I have ever stayed in thru all of my travels.If I had to critique something about the room itself it would be the TV. We could not get the t.v to stay on and we were too tired to fight with it. The hutch shouldnt be needed with a tv that small unless you sit the the tv on top of the hutch so both beds can watch it..its too small to view where its sitting now. What would be beneficial would be to get rid of the hutch . Get a bigger T.V and put the t.v on that same wall.

The room was smaller than what we usually get but at this time of the year we were lucky to still get a room. The room was very clean and we have been going to Blue Door Inn for a few years now. It is not walking distance to downtown Estes Park, but worth staying in and driving to a parking area. Estes Park is worth seeing in your lifetime!!!

No house keeping Monday which was fine. Every day after only made bed and put towels on bed. At one point did take clean bundle of towels out of bathroom along with dirty. Kept leaving tip envelope out. Garbages never emptied. There was a washcloth between bed and nightstand upon my arrival and it remained there the whole time.
