Front desk staff was friendly and parking was easy to find. Excellent location to RMNP is this property’s finest feature. Sadly, this was a very outdated location. No A/C and one of our windows wouldn’t stay open. Our toilet was broken and not fixed during our stay, even with a maintenance request. Breakfast as promised included yesterday’s coffee and nothing else 30 minutes after it was supposed to be available.

Pool and hot tub area bliss! You can propane grill bring food there is a deck for you. The inside is warm and welcoming. Yes it was warm but we survived as we are in a heat wave and the pool is open till 10.
Room was fine. Great view kitchen had all we needed. Nice bedding and towels. It’s an older venue so don’t come thinking it’s The Ritz. Come and enjoy the grounds location views and the history of the Crag.

The property was in a good location and met most of our needs. Kitchen was stocked with everything needed. However, the room was rather small, the overhead fan was annoying and the floor and towels were rough. Breakfast consisted of bagels, mini muffins, dry cereal, yogurt, juice, milk, coffee, and some fruit. Pool was ok. Pool table was too small and too close to the wall.

Keep in mind, we visited in the peak of summer, this hotel is over 100 years old, and in the mountains. That being said, there is no AC in the rooms but there were plenty of fans provided which was enough to keep the room cool. The hotel has pretty outdoor areas and well kempt with a sparkling pool, cute fire pit area, and outside sitting area. Loved that the rooms had a small kitchenette to make or heat up food. Also loved the large traditional coffee pot as opposed to what newer hotels offer. There was drinking water in the main lobby and bar area. There is also a small library with books, dvds, and a bunch of board games. This hotel is also right next to the tram way so we could see the little sky cars go up and down. Loved the history and overall feel of this hotel. It only has 27 rooms and is very quiet as opposed to the Stanley that has frequent tours and outside visitors. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again!

It’s a “historic” hotel and you can take that to mean “charming and quaint” or “old and decrepit”. Depends on your view. Either way, the hotel is badly in need of renovation, especially given the rates they charge.

This is an older property. I felt like I stepped back into 1977. The rooms have no air conditioning which wasn't comfortable due to unusual hot temperatures in the area. The toilet took 3 flushes. It is close to local attractions but walking is a challenge because this hotel sits on 2 uphill roads. I did see 4 dear on the property n it is quiet with a view of the mountains.

We loved everything about our stay at Crags. It is definitely an old, historic inn and the owners have kept it's original charm. You wouldn't love it if you need fancy and new, but the history and the old charm and warmth of this place was exactly what what we loved about it. It just feels good to be there. The rooms and furniture are older but super clean and the beds are comfy. As hikers, we appreciated having a kitchen and a living room space. The dining room is beautiful withthe original floor-to-ceiling windows and offers light continental breakfast. Lots of games, a piano, pool table, and fireplace. The pool and jacuzzi were beautiful and perfectly situated to watch the sunset and maybe catch an elk walking by. Outdoors there's a fire pit, giant Jenga and corn hole. Plenty to enjoy there. The staff was lovely and helpful in every way. Great location up the hill overlooking Estes Park with an easy drive to RMNP. We look forward to going back!

The views from the Pool and Hot Tub area were great. The pool and hot tub were very well maintained.
Don't let the age of this property scare you away. This is a very nice place to stay. They didn't have their liquor license when we stayed but were scheduled to pick this up on Monday, 06-29-26.
Talked to the very nice manager, and he informed us this company bought this in April of 2026 and they replaced all the TV's in all the rooms, the lobby furniture, some of the carpet. We will be staying here again.

Awesome, quaint Lodge with great staff!

Crag's Lodge is a beautiful, old-fashioned lodge with a wonderful staff, (especially Kiko and Raoul) and amazing views and atmosphere!
Lovely stay. Everything is a very close drive in Estes. There is an amazing looking Restaurant (the View) at the Lodge, and a Lounge, but neither was open during our stay. I think we missed something special.
Fortunately, there are other, fantastic restaurants within a short drive (5 to 10 minutes tops.

Historic Stay w/ a View

Adorable historic western hotel in hills of Estes Park w/ great mountain & Stanley Hotel views. Cute, cozy suite room w/ patio & views. No frills, yet very clean & very friendly staff. We’d definitely return!

Property was well-maintained and staff very helpful. Lack of AC in the rooms made it uncomfortable to sleep at night. Avoid top floor rooms during hot weather. The hotel is NOT within walking distance to downtown because it's on a hill. There's just one dining option within the hotel and they're not open during all weekdays.

Nice, but needs AC

Of course, I was there during a heat wave, so not the norm. But as we know, climate is now unpredictable. My room was comfortable, clean, and I enjoyed the views of the mountains and trees. The kitchenette was great. My only issue is it got too warm and they don’t have AC. I used fans in both rooms to manage. Oh, and I really prefer regular size pillows.

Charming place with excellent views

The hotel has been around a long time and the bones of the hotel exhibit that old-style charm. The rooms were renovated and were small but comfortable. The restaurant was booked so we did not eat there. They don't have any breakfast or lunch food options. Maybe they will consider breakfast in the future. The pool and spa were really nice. It was within walking distance (with a hill) of the key downtown area which was convenient because Estes Park municipality decided that July 4th week was a great time to close roads and make traffic a mess. Sigh. It is a Hilton Grand property now which was a nice surprise.

Old restored property done well, except the fact that they don’t have air conditioning. Only window in our cut up misshaped room was in the completely opposite corner than the bed. Our room sweltered in mid-June and even though the room came with a noisy box fan, my wife and I had a rough night sleeping. All for what I consider to be a premium hotel price.

My son and I stayed here for a spring break vacation. The staff was so friendly and our room was outstanding. The view from the room was incredible! The kitchenette was sufficiently stocked with the items we needed to cook meals with. We spent several hours throughout our two day stay in the game room playing pool. The hot tub was nice - especially with all the snow fall.

Great historic lodge

Everyone was helpful and friendly and our little studio room was quaint and clean. They take great care of their historic lodge. We liked that it was close to town, but far enoughh away to not hear town. Really enjoyed and we'll be back some day!

We had a trip booked in advance and we had a really heavy emergency, and we tried to contact the hotel if there was any way we could reschedule or get a refund as having an emergency was not in our plans at all. They have a strict non-refundable policy so if you may have an family emergencies don’t book here because they don’t care!

Comfortable stay

Best place to stay in Estes Park

We loved our 9-night stay and didn’t want to leave. The bed was super comfortable, the kitchen area was well equipped and all of our suite was spotless. Linens were high quality as was glassware. The hot tub was fantastic and all staff were absolutely delightful. It was the perfect location- close to town, away from traffic and the views were breathtaking. We enjoyed walking to town for dinner, and had a delicious dinner in the hotel restaurant.

The property itself was not bad. Pretty accurate description of what the room would be like. My biggest reason for not giving the stay more stars is that I keep getting calls from their parent company, Diamond Resorts, with extremely salesy callers that try to sell me vacation packages. I am never staying here, or at any of their other properties again for this reason. Please tell your parent company to stop calling and trying to sell me things!

Better than expected

Better than I expected. I live somewhat locally (Fort Collins) and needed a room due to a wedding. The 2 room unit with pullout suited our family needs and was very comfortable and appointed. Highly recommend. Alot of mountain hotels aren’t that great so my expectations weren’t high but I would certainly use the Crag lodge again and may even use it now for positioning to do longer hikes in RMNP so I don’t have to get up at 3am and drive to the park in the wee hours of the morning. I’m gettin to old for that so staying here will make things nice!

Crag’s Lodge was a great home base for the weekend while attending a friend’s wedding. The hotel shows its age, but the rooms are generously sized and spotlessly clean. The hotel does not have air conditioning, but the room stayed comfortably cool even during an especially hot summer. Would certainly recommend a stay here.
