Good, comfy feel
The major complaint was we were not able to check in until 5 pm However they made it right & discounted our stay Great views, comfy bed & small cabin feel. Panoramic views with many windows. Heat good, bathroom good but it is not a huge room But we were happy.

Family and Dog Friendly
Very quiet and super friendly. My dog loved the property and loved walking and exploring. Continental breakfast was just perfect and it had lots of choices. Plenty of activities for adults and kids. Fire pit was fun along with hot tub and playground. Rooms have been updated. Microwave and fridge were convenient.

Not a great stay. Not given the room we booked. Rooms in general were clean and modern, but we were charged $20 for arriving 45 minutes early. No shampoo, soap in room. Breakfast was not great, just packaged muffins and cereal. Staff was not helpful with our concerns and would not refund for the lower cost rooms we got.

Great property in gorgeous Estes Park
We were provided the room 201 and it was fantastic! Tastefully decorated as well as very clean and warm. We went there during the Thanksgiving - off season so there wasn't a ton to do around. We were glad we chose Discovery Lodge as we spent considerable time in the room which is unusual for us. The room was spacious and the beds (1 queen in main bedroom and 2 twins in the other room) were very comfortable with extra pillows in the closet. Large TVs in both the rooms were fantastic. Bathroom was very clean and had plenty of towels. Heating worked well making the room cozy. The room itself is at a corner and at ground level. The property has several buildings and is weirdly laid out. The parking lot could have been cleaner as there was a ton of slush due to the snow it must have got before. This posed some risk, especially because the main door wasn't open so we were forced to walk through the slush/ice. Morning breakfast was typical - Bread, Butter, Store bought cupcakes and waffles, fruits, yogurt, oatmeal and cereals. Espresso machine was nice. The support staff could have been more smiling and friendly though they were certainly polite.

It was great, beautiful view, it was a little tricky getting checked in but it was half my fault for not calling and seeing if they closed early

2/10 Poor

Unforgivable Treatment, Appalling Customer Service
WARNING: The customer service is unforgivably inadequate. I wanted to avoid leaving a bad review and gave the lodge one month to respond to six separate complaints I filed (two in person, two over the phone, and two over email). This was my last resort but let it speak to their lack of commitment to make things right. We stayed here in late September 2024. The room was adequate, but on our second day, we found a dead, rotting bird under our bed. Upon finding the bird, we disposed of it and kindly asked that the staff clean our room while we were out for the day. When we got back, nothing was touched, no one had cleaned, and we had to sleep with the bugs and smell of decay. At checkout, the front desk told us the manager would contact us to make things right. After one week, I received no response. I placed two calls requesting they follow up, and got false promises saying they were going to call back later that day. In the following month, I emailed twice requesting a follow up. Nothing. This is bad service. No other way to say it. Very disappointed. To the lodge: Again, I was hoping to receive a follow up, after which point I would leave a review highlighting the positive impact that communication had on me. One month is plenty of wiggle room, thought I was being fair.
