Absolutely loved our stay at Murphys River Lodge! Seeing a huge elk with several cos and calves was the best! The animals stroll around the property as if they own it. We enjoyed the continental breakfast and the indoor pool/hot tub. Easy walk to a busy part of town with dining and shopping. Great location for visiting RMNP.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Positives: Convenient to walk downtown or to take the free shuttle, with a stop right outside the hotel. On the water with a river flowing right outside the back of the room. You could even fish from your balcony Comfy bed and pillows with great sheets Friendly staff Refrigerator The office area has supplies for s’mores, snacks, and oxygen if needed Fire pits are near the office as well Pool and hot tub indoors Negative: Very dated property that could use some updating Provided breakfast was very limited Room lighting was not very bright No exhaust fan in the bathroom, so after a shower, the bathroom was very hot and humid; we opened a window to allow the steam to escape. Bathroom lights were dim (one was out) and were probably incandescent bc they heated up the small bath as well. Limited plugs by the bed with no usb ports. It would have been nice to have a surge protector by the bed with multiple plugs. Some of these are minor fixes that would improve the quality of the stay.

Great location by the river, right outside downtown Estes, with easy access to RMNP. Staff is fantastic, room was roomy, clean and quiet. Bed and mattresse were great. Only feels a little outdated. But still, very adequate!
