It always feels like family when we stay. It is located in a perfect part of Estes Park. Prices are great and the rooms feel more like a cabin than a hotel. We would recommend over all other places in Estes and we have stayed in quite a few places over the years. More

They truly are one of the best values in Estes Park, and the location is perfect for in town shopping and admission to the National Park. The management goes above and beyond to meet personal...

I came up to Estes with my kids and was really surprised by the great rate at the Discovery. I think we only paid $49 which was a lot less than the other motels in the area. There was a playground, a fishing pond and lost of grass to run around on. The motel was also really close to town... More
