What a gem! We stayed in room 18, a king studio with kitchenette and patio. It seemed to be recently remodeled with a full size refrigerator, small cooktop, coffee maker, microwave and even basic dishes and pots and pans. There was a small counter against the wall with two stools for dining. The seating are and bed were both so comfortable! The patio had a table and chairs for my morning tea. We even had a rabbit visit in the early evening. Highly recommend!

Everything was very nice, clean and accommodating. Excellent staff! Enjoy the outside sitting areas. The kitchenette in the room was very helpful as well. We were there for two nights. We did feel that the fee for this the room was a little pricey. Would definitely stay again, if considered a lower rate. Thank you very much. It was a great stay!!!

Columbine Inn deserved an excellent rating in every area. Cleanliness, comfortability, design, and freshness. The cleanliness was not only inside, but the beautiful property was immaculate and very well cared for and clean with a wonderful gazebo. Elk were numerous within minutes, and the best pizza in Estes is located immediately next door. The beautiful hostess was wonderful, happy, knowledgable, and desired your stay to be excellent! Coziness is obvious there!

Great little motel with quaint, newer decor perfect for the area. The staff was very friendly, the room was well-appointed, & the king mattress was very comfortable. It was quite convenient to all of Estes Park. The only negative was that the tile floor was dirty & hadn't been mopped recently because our socks & feet were nearly black on the bottom. Other than that, it was a terrific stay that we really enjoyed.

Glad that the property was recently renovated and felt new inside. However, the room was quite small and tight for 2 people. And it could be improved by adding more lighting around the closet area and adding a shelf to the bathroom as there is so counter space whatsoever. Overall I would recommend this to others.

This place was perfect for an over night before heading into RMNP. Not sure about the rest of the property, but our room had clearly been taken down to the studs and remodeled in the past few years. Clean, comfortable, stylish, and the perfect nights stay. This is a motel...meaning you pull your car right up to the door which is perfect to unload your gear right from trunk to room. Can't say enough great things about this place. Oh and the woman who checked us in was charming, helpful, and nice as can be. If in Estes Park again, we will stay here.

Columbine Inn was the perfect accommodation for our quick Rocky Mountain getaway—it’s 10 minutes away from the Beaver Meadows park entrance, close to a number of restaurants and grocery stores, and an affordable, clean, and quiet place to rest. Upon our check-in day, we arrived a few hours early to see if they provided luggage storage, however the lobby was closed. No problem. We were about to head to the park, when a kind team member waved us down, opened the lobby for us, and allowed us an early check-in! Columbine Inn is a comfy, no-frills option that still offers perks such as free parking, appliances and toiletries at a great price. We would definitely return.

Great little place! Modern room with mini fridge, microwave and Keurig style coffee maker. Bathroom was stocked with bath and body works eucalyptus products. Bed was comfortable and everything was spotlessly clean. Light outside the room was very bright which was great for security lol, but it shined through the blinds a bit until it finally went off pretty late at night. Not sure if this is normal, but sign and lights by road were not lit early on the am, making it difficult to find this place in the dark. There is a pizza place and a liquor store in the next parking lot over which is very convenient. Overall it was a fabulous place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

We were in Estes for a family reunion so we basically needed a place to sleep because we’d be busy during the day. The motel was super clean and had been recently completely renovated. I learned from the hostess at the front desk that the owners had basically gutted the entire motel and started over. The bed was comfy, the coffee in the Kcup machine was good, the water was hot, the shower was great and was nice and tall, the towels and sheets were good quality, I appreciated the liquid hand soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner that was available, the room had a fridge and microwave, I was happy to see the hair dryer and Kleenexes, and there was a wardrobe with an extra blanket and hangers along with a drawer. You could tell they had thought of all of the basic comforts a traveler would need—and this was just a plain, single room. The decor was a blend of minimalist modern and classic and not the kitsch mountain decor that’s often overwhelming in some places. Some of their other rooms offer even more amenities like a fireplace. The lobby had a water dispenser with hot and cold water that we utilized every day. They don’t have offer breakfast but Estes had a ton of food choices (including coffee shops, a crepe place, and a bagel store). Best of all, the check-in experience was simple even though we came into town late and the office had closed. And, when we had a chance to interact with the hostess, she was warm and friendly and a pleasure to get to know.
