Staff was kind and polite...Property description was not at all accurate. There are two separate properties so know where your going to be staying when booking. Restaurant and pool at a separate location. Rooms extremely noisy and can hear everything. Be prepared and bring ear plugs. Continental breakfast was scarce and ran out of food.

The young man at the help desk lied to us about cancelling our reservations. We did not stay there and they charged us the whole amount. Should have only charged us for one nights stay. The room was old and moldy smelling with no mountain view. I would not recommend anyone staying there. You need to change what you have on the internet as this is false advertising.

Not recommending

seems like a remodeled motel - old structure with room door can’t be closed, and no sound proofing that you can hear whenever your neighboring guests use restroom, & no elevator either if you have to carry heavy luggage & gear upstairs.

I can't honestly review TRMO since when we arrived with a pre-paid reservation, they didn't have a room for us. Connor was very nice and booked us in a room at their sister hotel which was very nice. Unfortunately, they charged us again for two nights. This still has not been resolved. They blamed it on Expedia. Not sure who is at fault, but it was a very frustrating experience.

Good location- short drive to Estes park. Room is spacious and comfy. There is receptionist at the counter to allow late check in which is much appreciated. However, I am disappointed with the selection of breakfast and quality of food being displayed. They ran out of bread and refused to replenish albeit it’s still within the breakfast time. Besides the poor breakfast experience, it was a pleasant stay.

I checked in at 5:30pm and they weren't sure the room was ready. Check-in process was very slow. Check-out was very slow. When I got to breakfast at 8:20am, there were 2 English muffins, 4 muffins, 3 yogurts, and oranges available. No napkins, no place to sit.

The hotel definitely caters to the hiker type. No frills, cooler bag and hiking guide in the room, etc. We found the room to be impeccably clean and seemingly newly renovated: new floors, fresh paint, etc. The exterior was a bit of a mess though. In every corner and under the decks were piled broken furniture, building matls, etc. Were only notified at check-in that the pool was OoO bc they didn’t pass their inspection due to a leak. Isn’t inspection at the BEGINNING of summer? Our stay was in mid-Sept. Why weren't we notified? Also, good thing we were awake by 8am Mon bc the work crew starting pounding on something w sledgehammers for an hour straight. Breakfast was meh. But the front desk staff was friendly and helpful and the cleaning staff was fastidious. Mgmt shldv warned about construction and pool issues as soon as we booked though, so we cldv made an informed decision.

Nice stay, some property construction

Loved the trail vibe, room was clean, modern, comfortable. Breakfast was adequate with bread/muffins, yogurt, granola, PB&J, coffee/water. What more do you need on the trail? The conversation pit was a great way to connect with other (hikers).
