Blue Door Inn- near RMNP

Clean room, free breakfast, free adequate parking, and easy access to Rocky Mtn National Park. This is exactly the type of accommodations I like for visiting national parks out west. You might even see wildlife outside during your stay at the Blue Door. And the Mountain view from our room was amazing.

OK in Estes Park

Staff was helpful. The room was decent. Old, but in good condition. The exterior is in need of upgrading. The breakfast was minimal and the breakfast area was crowded since they don’t open until 7 am. Wi-Fi and tv channel options were very good.

Great stay!

We loved our stay at the Blue Door! Maybe it’s an older place but inside our room everything was neat, tidy, clean, and there was no ‘old place’ smell. The water pressure in the shower was great and the bed was very comfortable. It probably only took us ten minutes to drive to the RMNP entrance from the inn and the area was quiet.
Rachelle, 3-night trip

Basic Clean hotel

Stayed here over the Fourth of July. Easy access about a mile and a half from downtown. Clean room. Outdated bathroom and old mattress. Pretty views and easy check-in. Hot tub broken and looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.
