We had an excellent stay here in all but one respect. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was equally maintained. Beds were comfortable and the staff excellent. The “breakfast” was the one aspect that left a lot to be desired. The waffles were prepackaged lumps of sugary dough that one had to put in the toaster, slim pickings for cereal or fruit. I’d definitely stay here again but go elsewhere for breakfast.

Upon our arrival desk clerk gave me keys to our room #308. The door was unlocked and the room was a mess. It hadn't been cleaned. Took another 40 minutes for a male staff member to clean the room. Finally got into the room at 5:30 pm. Asked if the lodge offered a Senior or Military discount, no response from the clerk. She was NOT very helpful and not sure why she wasn't aware that the room wasn't check in ready. Nice view of mountains.

Great elk viewing
The Discovery Lodge is located right by a 9-hole golf course, and apparently the elk love it. We were able to see these beautiful animals without ever leaving the property, which was a highlight of our stay. It’s an easy location from which to get to downtown and to the Rocky Mountains. There’s plenty of parking, but more than once someone had taken the space directly in front of our room—we found this odd as it seems the rooms we used had one space per room right at your door. The room was ver spacious, clean and comfortable. I would suggest bringing your own shampoo/conditioner/body wash unless you want to use the provided single product shampoo-body wash combo. Breakfast was fine—fruits, packaged cereals and muffins, white bread, boiled eggs. It’s a very simple place, but nice enough and convenient for visiting the national park.

Older property that has renovated rooms. Rooms are on the small side but the view is great. Bed is comfortable. Breakfast is simple but they keep it well stocked. Having elk just off your balcony is an added bonus.

We stayed here to do some hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. The rooms were spacious and clean. It is very quiet and you may get a bonus of some bugling elk in the golf course. The Visitor Center is right next to the lodge and it offers free trolley rides around Estes Park and to Rocky Mountain National Park. You also can walk to Estes Park
