Room was clean, even the carpet (and I am very picky about carpeted rooms) Front desk staff helpful, gave us dinner recommendations and had easy to follow instructions for us checking out very early. I liked being close to downtown without paying the premium since we’re hardly ever in our room. I deducted a star because the listing said Mountain View, however we were on the first floor and our window looked out to a staircase.

Coyote Mountain Lodge was a great place to stay. Don't let it's appearance fool you. It's a nice and comfortable place to stay. They have a decent breakfast and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay there. The only complaint I have is the showerhead had weak water pressure, but really not a big deal. Our room had a great view and the property was peaceful and quiet. I would stay there again.

The room itself was clean, but the bed was awful (not comfortable at all), the air conditioner was very loud (hard to sleep), and the shower head was not great. The people there are nice but the accommodations need work. When we go to Estes Park we always try to stay at an independent hotel. This one needs some work.

I've traveled all over the US on business and chose this facility due to the ratings from previous guests but Im thinking these ratings were family or friends... toilet ran all night, the AC was very loud and you can hear the people walking around upstairs. The Hot Tub was a personal tub and smaller than our home tub and was cold 100F. They ask you to clean up after your pets but we witness two workers in and out of several rooms I guess checking rooms with their dog with them. The dog took a dump on the walkway in front of one of the rooms and they left it. After telling the front desk they did nothing. The outside stairs were dark and dangerous to walk. There were lights there but not lit so we told the front desk and they said we don't have any lights on the stairs. The TV was about the size of my computer screen and you had to use two remotes to get it to work. I was truly embarrassed that I took my wife to this facility and will never make that mistake again. Ps. The bed was comfortable and the sheets and towels seemed clean and were nice...

This motel had lovely windows on both sides of the room. I had a comfortable king bed with 6 pillows. Sadly the top sheet covering the comforter was very wrinkly and slightly stained. The bathroom had dusty baseboards and a couple of hairs. They did not fill the shampoo/shower gel dispenser even after I asked twice. Breakfast started at 7am so I missed that every day but they did provide me with a few breakfast sandwiches for my refrigerator.

The pictures on line are COMPLETELY misleading. The place was made out to be a beautiful lodge. It is an old Motel 6 type of place that is very old. The room smelled like an old fish aquarium, the TV didn't work, at midnight the a/c stopped working, the shampoo in the shower was completely empty, the bed was HORRIBLE and probably the same one from Motel 6 days. The hot tub with pool was out of order. When all of this was explained the young man at the lobby desk just stared at me and wrote our room number down for the manager. I cancelled the 2nd day and left Estes Park. When I complained I was told the same manager would get back to me. Never have heard from that person.

It was a good room for just sleeping there one night. The room had no hair conditioner, but did have about 40 hand lotion tubes. I suppose this could work, but I didn't try it. There is no fitness center on-site even though somehow it came up in my search when I filtered for properties that did have gyms. This is probably an Expedia problem, not a Coyote Lodge problem. It was nice that the room included breakfast, but we chose to eat somewhere else. The checkout staff was very friendly.

The property is conveniently located, but the room was dated, dark, and somewhat dank. The door was extremely flimsy and if not dead bolted blew open.

Maybe request a room in the newer buildings.

To start, we called to see if we could check in early. We got a hard no, with them claiming they were fully booked and the room wasn’t ready. But when we arrived, the motel (and yes, it’s definitely a motel) looked pretty dead with tons of empty rooms. On top of that, the pictures on their website look totally staged and don't represent reality at all. The room itself smelled like heavy chlorine. The bed was so squeaky that every little movement woke the other person up, and to make matters worse, the fridge buzzed loudly the whole night.
