This place was great. It was relatively inexpensive but was still very nice. The views from the property are amazing the hot tub was awesome and the staff was super nice and helpful. The lobby has free fresh popcorns, movies, and coffee which was cool. The continental breakfast was lighter than I expected but still convenient that they had something. Overall would recommend and would come back.

Great views of the lake , good parking . Quaint room nice decor. The room was clean. It said it had toiletries, there was only lotions and a soap dispenser in the sink area. A good selection of continental breakfast items, There was dog poop in the small dog area behind the room. The bed was hard as a board, and few blankets for the cold weather.

Thank you for your review and feedback Mistique, we are always interested to hear how we can improve our guest's experience. Our maintenance team works hard daily to keep our property clean, but we will take note of your feedback. We did just change out all our mattresses for brand new ones. Hope you'll come see us again to check it out. Safe travels to you and your family!

I really liked that the lodge offered movies to borrow and popcorn to snack on. The room was clean and comfortable. The lodge was close to the lake and it was a nice stroll. I went during the winter and the lake was frozen, which was cool to see! The center was a very short drive or about a 30 minute walk.

My girlfriend and I went for one night as a pre-Valentines day getaway. The resort was pretty much empty. Our room was clean and the oversized tub was great. The hot tub was really nice, but needs some tile repair. Breakfast was on the light side of continental. Staff were friendly. We got 2 waters to go at checkout, and they taped candy bars to the water, cute.

Staff was amazing. The rooms are not modern if thats a concern of yours, but i loved it, it was clean and large and had a patio. Mountain views all around. I see people complain about the breakfast, no complaints frome. Its a "continental breakfast" and thats what it served. The darling little extras that this place provided were lovely. Popcorn and movies! Will stay my next visit!

Very quiet. Great staff experience. The room we had was a bit dated but clean. New shower with Jetted tub was nice. Free popcorn and large movie selection. Only real critique would be the lack of eggs or protein for the breakfast. For those on a low carb lifestyle there were zero options available onsite. My wife and I are planning to return next year and would gladly stay here.

We stayed one night at the Murphy's Resort. This property has seen better days, and it seems that there has been little to no attention given to repairing the basics (loose door knobs, wobbly furniture). The "breakfast" consisted of small hard bagels, packaged oatmeal coffee, and granola bars. No milk available. On the positive side, the bed was comfortable and water and a small candy bar were offered during check out.

Hi, Deborah, So sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay to the fullest extent. We do a lot of repairs during off season since peak season is so busy in Estes Park. The rooms are checked thoroughly every day, and with winter right around the corner we absolutely have repairs lined up. We are so sorry that our complimentary continental breakfast was not as you had hoped. We offer a basic continental that includes fruit, granola bars, pastries, toast, beagles, coffee, and juice we are more than happy to take your tips into consideration for future stays, Thank you for your review, and we hope to see you again in the future!
