Upon arrival, my first opinion of this place is that the lobby area is very warm, inviting, with the lighting, the fireplace going, and the TV on the local Estes Park channel. The front desk girl was very, very nice and helpful with answering all the questions I had for her, since it had been awhile since I had been to Estes Park. She was just great.
The rooms were clean, roomy, and although I had made a mistake and had left my DND sign on the door, when I got back to the hotel and come to find out, it was all my fault housekeeping had not come in that day, they were so very gracious to call housekeeping to my room, although I was very embarrassed. I do appreciate them coming back, even though apparently they were off work for the day, housekeeping does not work 24 hours a day, I know. And, maintenance, talk about feeling stupid! I had the front desk call maintenance to my room because I could not get a light on-come to find out, all I had to do was turn a switch on the wall! Talk about feeling like a dummy, after all, I have a light on a switch at home, just like they had here. Anyway, the maintenance man that came up was so very sweet, he didn't make me feel stupid, as I had done that enough myself.
The pool was just wonderful, and the hot tub made my old, worn out bones and muscles feel just wonderful! The breakfast, biscuits and gravy! Yum! It was just wonderful!
Anyone who complains about this place is apparently not going to be happy when they wake up on the right side of the grass! Or, maybe they just want a few free nights so they complain about anything and everything they can think of. Too bad they try to ruin it for the people that truly do appreciate a good, clean, fun place to stay, with such a wonderful staff!
I plan on going back to Estes with some of my friends on a "girls time out" as well as with my husband and family real soon, and I can't wait to get back there! Don't let those other bad reviews fool you! The just want some free stuff apparently, or maybe just made mistakes themselves on those reservations? When was the last time they walked on water, as my great grandmother use to say? To err is human, don't forget, we're all human. I wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. There are two restaurants right across the street which that one reviewed failed to mention. Thank you staff of Rodeway Inn for such a great time and all the patience of the staff.
