Just stayed at the Blue Door Inn for 2 nights with my 2 kids. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating. The rooms were very dated but clean. Very surprised at how comfortable the beds were, which was a plus. The pool was a nice addition and clean, however the hottub was not clean or running which would have been nice to use at night. Very limited seats around the location. Very convenient to walk to lake estes and to downtown. The breakfast offered in the morning was very poor, bagels hard as rocks and little to no variety. If you dont need all the bells and whistles the Inn was fine to stay for the price point offered. Definitely not a 5 star but comfortable and clean.

I am not a hotel snob, but the one thing that is an absolute must for me no matter the age or location of the property is that it is clean. The bottoms of my feet were so dirty after walking on the flooring in the room. It made us question whether the rest of the room was cleaned between guests. Also, the breakfast was subpar. I guess we got what we paid for (free), except the amount we paid for the room should have warranted a clean floor and a mediocre breakfast.

Not again
I will not stay here again. I reserved three rooms for family and told the front desk when checking in that each family was paying for their own room. The hotel charged them all to my card. The breakfast was just okay. Our room had a dirty towel left in it and the tv didn’t work. Water pressure in the shower was poor.

Hot tub wasn’t working and there was dirt in it like it hadn’t been cleaned. The outside of the building is not maintained very well. There was a gasoline container left out by the fire pit. Towels and key cards left laying about the common areas outside.

Nothing special, but this was an adequate place to stay for our one night in Estes Park. The light fixtures in our outdoor stairwell and the light fixtures outside our room didn’t work. Not sure if the lightbulbs just needed to be changed or if the fixtures weren’t functioning. The room was ok. Although it needed updating, it wasn’t noisy, and appeared to be clean. The bathroom had been updated, to a point. But the toilet paper dispenser fell off of the wall when we first used it. It was apparent that this had happened before, but hadn’t been repaired. The breakfast was more than a continental breakfast, offering scrambled eggs and sausage and biscuits, in addition to cold cereal, bagels, toast, juice, and coffee. If we were planning to return and stay for more than one night, we probably wouldn’t stay here again. But for a quick overnight on our way to our destination it was ok.

Quaint hotel
Overall, our stay was good. Our first room did not have a clean floor (feet turned black walking around the room) but they were willing to switch us rooms and the second room was better. The hotel is quaint, conveniently located in town with lots of things to do on site if you have time to take advantage of it all.
