This was my second time staying here, and it’s been amazing both times. The space is clean, thoughtfully simple, and offers breathtaking views. Easily the best deal in Estes Park. Plus, mule deer often wander through the property—perfect for capturing some great photos.

We enjoyed Discovery Lodge for many reasons including the hot tub, in room fire place (firewood provided for free), cabin decor, location, parking was easy, we did check out early due to the weather and the staff offered us a refund but unable to get due to Expedia. Nonetheless we were very happy with our stay.

Scenic hotel right in Estes Park made it easy to explore the Stanley and Rocky Mountain National Park. Clean room, comfortable bed and hot tub great too. Standard continental breakfast was appreciated. No check in staff were around at 7pm when we arrived, but all was good once we found the key pick up. Great deal and recommended overall.

The location is perfect for a quick stay. The rooms were clean but a little dated compared to the pictures... hard to beat for the price. My only compaint was the noise from guest above and next to us. I realize you're going to hear other guests at older places but there appeared to be more than enough vacant rooms to spread guest out instead of putting them all in one section on top and next to each other. Would stay again but would request a room on the 2nd level.
