I had a wonderful stay at the Appenzell Inn while exploring Estes Park. The chalet suite was immaculate and beautifully decorated, creating a comfortable retreat after a long day of hiking. I really appreciated the thoughtful amenities available, though some minor maintenance issues were present. The location was perfect, peaceful yet conveniently close to shops and restaurants, making it a truly enjoyable experience overall.

I always look forward to my summer stays at this Inn. It's like a second home, with friendly staff and comfortable rooms. I enjoyed the quiet and spacious layout of our room, especially the private patio, which was great for soaking in the outdoors. However, the breakfast options could use some variety, and staying in a ground floor room may lead to noise from above.

The Inn is perfectly situated just outside of the crowded downtown area, making it a peaceful retreat while still being convenient to restaurants and shops.
Dining

While the staff did offer evening s'mores-which was a fun treat-breakfast options were limited, mainly lacking in protein.

The indoor pool was well-maintained, and having board games and DVDs available for guests was a nice touch, but the separation of the pool area felt a bit inconvenient.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, which offered a lovely room with fantastic views and a cozy atmosphere. The check-in process was smooth and I appreciated the great staff who made us feel right at home. However, the noise from the upstairs guests was quite disruptive, making it a bit challenging to get a good night's sleep. Overall, it's a great choice for families looking for comfort and amenities, but noise can be an issue.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, conveniently located near Rocky Mountain and the scenic Trail Ridge Road. The family-owned vibe made it warm and welcoming. I particularly enjoyed the outdoor fire pit for making s'mores after our hikes, though the breakfast could have offered more variety. The continental breakfast was decent, but some amenities felt a bit limited, and I would have liked more parking options. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I would consider returning.
