First of all, if you need ac you better request a room with
It
Not all rooms have it and sometimes it doesn’t work
Second
Lots of repairs needed inside and out.
Lots of things are half done right ie weather stripping on the doors
Shards not covering the whole window so you can peak in
Stairs case falling apart
Concrete rotted out

It’s obvious to me they try hard but have no true understanding of maintenance and or how to repair
Amateur at best

Staff was nice

Room was large with plenty of seating but no table. Beds were ok and pillows mostly flat. Door to room did not shut on its own - got stuck and had to forcefully push shut and open.

Internet did not work for two nights due to a power outage but on third night stated working and was great. No TV for the first two days since it was connected to the internet. Had to go outside or to the lobby to use the internet.

There was a heat pump, not your typical AC/heater which was an adjustment.

Outside of room there was a large, open garbage can that was not bear and other animal proof which got very full each day. Really odd with the type of wildlife in the area.

Coffee in room was good and smores at night were a nice touch.

Staff was great…our room was terrible.
Let’s start from the top of problems 1st we checked in and didn’t get the room we were showing in the picture. 2nd the people upstairs were loud and let the door slam. 3rd our air conditioner was not working. 4th we got back to our room and it was 76 and hot! 5th the bed was under the air conditioner and it started leaking on my head and last the stool would not flush.

The motel's exterior was renovated several years ago and it is very inviting. The parking is very good, and the grounds are attractive and the lobby and bar/lounge areas are bright and very attractive, and the food and food service in the lounge is excellent. The staff was friendly and helpful.
The problems we encountered had to do with the long wait to check in, and the cleanliness and amenities in the rooms booked. For example, the bathtub had not been scrubbed- which was managed by us because we had brought come cleaner. For , the prices charged, we had every right to expect clean bathrooms. The air conditioning was also a problem-- not working or not working well, and we had considerable with the wifi connections.

So we were greeted at reception (which was in the middle of a reception at their restaurant?) when I asked “is this where we check in?” By a guy who said “unfortunately yes”. Ummmm ok?
So after the guy looked and looked for our reservation he finally said “we oversold your room so we have made you a different reservation at the holiday inn across the street”
So our experience at the holiday inn was super!!

We booked a last minute weekend for the Fourth of July. Prices were a little steep but expected last minute.

Great location but even better staff here! Everyone was so friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. Truly top notch team.

Location is in walking distance of the lake, shops and restaurants on the creek and The Stanley. A/c in the room was good, beds comfy, we hung out in the lounge/lobby and at the fire pit. Our teens loved the hammocks and s’mores. We would definitely stay again.

We stayed 4 nights for a family vacation and it was lovely! It is the perfect location if you're visiting Estes Park or Rocky Mountain National Park! We were able to walk downtown Estes Park and not have to worry about parking - which was great! The hotel is older, but they've done a great job of updating! The staff was very helpful -- I had originally booked online and our travel plans changed and the staff was wonderful about helping me change our booking (even though I had booked it through Expedia). Once we got there, the staff was so friendly and helpful with every question we had! Smores at night over the fire were wonderful and the outdoor seating was perfect! I said multiple times throughout our stay \"I've never been to a hotel with such friendly and helpful staff!\"

The hotel is in a good location - walkable to the Visitor’s Center or you can park in their large free parking garage and either walk or take the free trolley from there. We saw quite a few elk from the property.
Our tv never worked during our 5-night stay. They did send a maintenance man but he couldn’t fix it. There is a mini-split AC unit right over the tv and if the air was set to 72 or under, the AC unit would leak water that ran directly over the tv cables. We had to put towels onto the dresser to soak up the water. I complained about this several times to no avail. We had no maid service the first day, and when I called the front office, the cleaning crew was already gone but they would make sure it was done the next day. I saw the maids cleaning other rooms around us the next morning and mentioned that our room needed to be cleaned. I was told that I needed to tell the head housekeeper - ??? Apparently even though their ad says daily maid service, you actually have to request it. When it was cleaned, they did a good job.
My companion went to the office to inquire as to where the ice machine was. A rather rude lady said “it’s not working - what do you need?” Umm - ice. The lady got exasperated and complained that she was tired of having to go down to the basement do get ice for people (then get the ice machine fixed!) I believe there are new owners. I will say that when we checked out we were given a $200 credit for our inconveniences.

Restaurant on site but we didn’t use it.
I would not rate this accommodation as 4* although we did enjoy our stay.
We did have an issue with room charges (credit card charged despite us prepaying ) and this is ongoing so hope it is resolved quickly.

We loved the look of the property from the outside at first but as soon as you try and reach your room you are fighting with a million pigeons. There is pigeon poop all over the entire property. It’s weird because we didn’t see one pigeon in the entire area, they are all living at this hotel. Poop all over the walk ways and on the pool loungers. So gross. Our shower was also completely clogged. I tried in the middle of my first shower to try and see what was going on and found a bandaid in the drain. Even after removing which was the most disgusting thing, it was still clogged. Because we got home so late that night we didn’t want to call maintenance so my husband and kid waited until the morning. My kid did have fun in the pool and making s’mores, however overall we will not be staying here again unfortunately.

I don’t know if he has a problem with people who book through a third party vender, but on two occasions, checking in then checking out, he said something about the fact I booked through a third party vender with a rather unsavory tone.

We were unaware this was a much older motel that was remodeled about 2 years ago. Visually, the remodeling was excellent. The lobby, bar and restaurant were excellent. Corners were shortcut however. Our toilet paper holder was falling out of the wall. There was no hook on bathroom door, where you could see there once was. Most disturbing was the ac/heat unit didn’t work. When I complained after the first night, I was told a group of 4 rooms is controlled together, and someone would come look at it but that never happened. Luckily it was cool enough to open the window, but then you had to listen to the road noise.

Not long after my lower stoma h started itching very bad and I felt something on me and knocked it off. My lower stomach is all red and bit and 2 hours later after we left it’s still red and itchy. I told the girl at the desk and brought 2 things that looked like some kind of bug or flea. The girl at the desk said they didn’t look like anything and maybe I was allergic to the detergent. If I was allergic to the detergent I would have been itchy all over. The girl was not very sympathetic at all.

Disorganized, unprofessional.

Booked >2 wks in advance. When we arrived around 4:30PM, we were informed our room was not ready, but would be told when it was. We waited nearly an hour at the bar with no news, so we went back to the front desk where employee told us that our room was no longer available and that we would need to stay somewhere else (unlikely in Estes). I asked if they would make those accommodations for us, but was told no. I asked if they could contact their manager, but instead, I was given the manager's phone number and told to call them myself. Of course, the manager didn't answer.

Expedia tried to reach out to the property but they also did not get anyone to answer for 40 minutes. Eventually, they got in touch with the property, and told us that the room would be available after all. It was nearly 8PM when we got back to the hotel. We were told we'd receive a $50 discount for the inconvenience, yet that hasn't happened (yet?).

For breakfast we had a cinnamon roll, banana bread, a cup of tea, and a latte. $25. The atmosphere and location of this property is great. The room was clean. They had a fire pit and some free s'more ingredients.

Side note: The bar/kitchen staff (Derrick I think), was more invested than the front desk. I think he was pulled to help clean several rooms for us and other guests who were in similar situations. He offered us food on the house (sadly we already had dinner). Nice guy.

Overall, management is lacking.

Unfortunately the check in experience on Friday night really put a damper on our stay. We showed up with a four-year-old and a two-year-old, ready to settle in and get ready for the glow parade. Unfortunately, our room was not ready, and there was not really a proactive approach to finding out when it would be or if it would be which is not a great response when you are traveling with two little kids, do not know if you’re even going to have a room that night. We were unsure if we needed to drive home and waste our money on our dog boarding or if we were to stay and wait for our room. The front desk staff was clearly overwhelmed, even disappeared in the office for a while while the line grew and my frustrations grew. I feel like management should coach staff on dealing with these situations we were told the room was not ready because of housekeeping shortages and it was not ready until after 7 PM when guaranteed for 4 PM check-in. We were told to “just got have a long dinner” and came back at 5:30 and there were still no updates. Room was finally ready after 7. I’m more upset that this was stressful on us and our kids and the staff didn’t seem to proactively try to handle the situation and was not very apologetic or empathetic.

the spots in the bathroom were drywall was fixed should be painted. The hallway between bathroom and bed area could use paint touch up too. I get in prime season this maybe tough to do however its quiet now so perhaps touch up paint in rooms not used. It seemed like the floor was buckled up or coming loose as you walked over some spots too. The pigeons sitting outside the door all night were loud so maybe put something on rafters to deter them from nesting / sitting there all night so they don't keeping guest up. You can hear them inside room. The staff was excellent. The Trailborn just has so much potential to be an even better stay with a few tweaks.

I enjoyed my stay but the rooms walls were thin as I could hear people upstairs. Other than that I enjoyed the staff, amenities and the cantina.

The staff was nice but we had a major problem with our stay. When we got back from dinner ai went to shower and there was something wrong with the trap or plumbing because a major sewer smell was released and stunk up our whole room. I called the front desk and the girl was nice and brought us a fan but it didn’t help. We opened the door but it was 30F outside and then the heater wasn’t working to warm it back up. The room was grungy and had mold in the bathroom on the shower liner and around the window. You could hear people talking and snoring in neighboring rooms. Somehow this place is rated as a 4 star but it’s honestly a 2. It’s a creaky old wooden motel and then the sewer issue put us over the edge. We didn’t sleep and left the room at 5:00am when Starbucks opened so it completely derailed our trip which was also my birthday.

It was a great experience. Close to everything, clean, the only thing that was a mild pain was their air conditioning units. They’re kind of strange but I figured it out.

Reception staff, hotel restaurant and bar staff were all super friendly and accommodating.
This hotel is a perfect location in Estes Park! Loved being able to walk to the restaurants and shops downtown and the scenic lake across the way.

Trailborn has taken an old property and brought it back to life with a retro cool hip vibe. Lots of fun, attention to detail.
