I live in Colorado and had family come out to visit. We stayed at the discovery lodge for a few nights while we visited Estes Park. I really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the room was nice and clean, and there is even a really sweet outdoor hot tub!!!!... More

We have stayed at this motel 2 other times and this stay was nice as always. We had room 102, a king below the office and it has been updated. Nice bed and furnishings, with a fridge. No air, but a fan in the room and screen door. This room faced the pond and golf course. Great views of the... More

i enjoyed our stay at the discovery lodge in Estes Park. The place is conveniently located to much of the happenings. You can see Elk on the golf course behind the park. There was a refrigerator in the room. There is no air conditioner or laundry facilities. Overall I like the place and will return to use it again.l

Stayed 3 nights in mid-May. If driving, suggest bringing your own pillows. Comfortable, quiet, near-by-hike to Estes downtown area and visitor center. Across from small shopping area. Nice view of mountains, when visible.

Clean and comfortable cabin style room. Spent 2 nights there. Location is great... good views of Rocky Mountain National Park, too. Suited my needs perfectly. Morning coffee in the lobby was strong and plentiful.

This was so cute! Cabin like rooms. The walls are a little thin and you do hear your neighbors doors when they are going in and out but for the price this was perfect! There are a few things that could be fixed a bit and my husband who has been a carpenter for almost 40 years said he would... More

Loved this place from the moment we walked in. Stayed for 4 nights and had no complaints. Even had a hot tub which was super nice. Pool was not open, but did not matter for us because it was cooler. May be a bit hot in summer, not positive if they had AC but we didn't need it. No complaints... More

I chose to stay at Discovery Lodge based on TripAdvisor reviews. I really liked our room for the most part. We had a two-room cabin-style suite on the bottom of a two-level building. There were two rooms above ours that faced the opposite direction, and we had a nice view of the pond and a large covered porch with comfortable... More

We stayed in 2 queen room with fold out couch (301) and had a very comfortable stay. Price reasonable. Great view! Relaxing and beautiful grounds. Next to golf course. Herd of elk visited in evening. Very exciting. Room and office/lodge very clean. Staff very friendly. Close to Stanley Hotel, downtown, parks, etc. Walking distance to Safeway. Definitely recommend these accommodations... More

We, an Indian (from India) family of 4 stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin close to the pond for regrettably just 1 night. Good clean rooms with a rustic feel, beautiful views all round, good coffee. Will stay at Discovery the next time we visit the area. Sivakumar
