Clean rooms Great service

We had a wonderful Stay at the Columbine Inn. This was the second time staying here. The service was great; the room was updated and clean. My only complaint was the mattress was a little uncomfortable (my husband said it wasn't that bad though) and I wish there was a full-length mirror, we went to a fancy dinner for our anniversary, and I wanted to make sure I looked nice but there was only the bathroom mirror above the sink.

The recent remodel of the property is awesome! The room was very clean and cozy. The staff was so friendly. I liked that it was away from the downtown area, making it very quiet. They did an excellent job of remodeling this place!!

This is a quaint place with rooms that are clean and while small have a lot of conveniences provided. Our room had an electric fireplace and a small kitchenette. Bed was comfortable. It’s close to Estes Park shopping and restaurants.

The office was not staffed until the 3:00 PM. There wasn’t a breakfast. The room was small and I couldn’t figure out how to operate the AC. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable which is what I look for.
