YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

YMCA of The Rockies Estes Park

8/10 Good
"The YMCA Estes Park is all about the views and location, location, & location!! We stayed too busy to fully take advantage of all the resort had to offer! Their property was the perfect place to decompress after a long day of hiking. Besides being centered perfectly in the middle of mountain views, we were able to observe a herd of elk and all the shenanigans the rut season brings during our stay. Our rooms were dated but clean. Overall, I recommend staying here and would do it again. I really want to try a cabin next time and take advantage of their reasonably priced dinner buffet option!"

8/10 Good
"We stayed for a couple nights while leaf-peeping in Estes Park. First, the good stuff. The lobby was certainly built to impress, with a huge 20 x 40 foot fireplace and big log construction. We stayed in the lodge. The rooms were adequate size, mattress was decent, and all was clean. I definitely recommend getting a room with a Long's Peak view, It was the best view of Long's Peak we've ever had (see photo), and we have stayed in Estes a lot. We had trouble opening the door to the outside deck - called down to the front desk and they were prompt and friendly taking care of it. The morning breakfast was coffee (which was fine) and grocery store muffins cut in half. Hot water was available and spring water for your water bottle. That's it. The property has lots of cabins which are pretty old looking. The dining hall/lounge was closed - it looked like permanently. Now the not so good - they advertise disconnecting to relax, and you must disconnect because the WiFi was so bad you could not even text message with it. Forget about an Internet web page with pictures on it. So if that's what you're expecting that's fine, but just know you won't be online there."
