I come to Estes quite often & usually stay at the same two places, on this trip 12/27-12/29 we decided to stay at the Blue Door. Upon coming in there was a very thick sheet of ice in front of the stairs leading up to our room. No ice anywhere to be found anywhere on the property or Estes for that matter. You would think a property in the mountains in the winter time would have de-icer salt on hand. We booked the “premium suite” and upon entering was grateful we booked a premium room as I couldn’t fathom what the regular rooms looked like as ours was completely outdated and in dire need of some TLC! I literally found a dog turd in plain sight next to the couch & blood on the tile next to the tub. The property itself is completely covered in dog feces. No dog poo bags anywhere for guests to clean up after their pets. In the middle of the night another guest was banging on our door and trying to get in. My husband answered and the guy was clearly drunk and had no idea which room was his. The whole stay I felt unsafe and couldn’t wait to leave! Never again!

Definitely recomend. One of the cleanest place, quiet and super close to downtown. Also we got to see the Estes Park Elk herd. The only BUT i can give this place would be the breakfast( its a grab and go ) not a verity of food.

Disappointed
The property was covered in snow and ice, presenting dangerous conditions even to get into the office. This at a time when the community was clear of snow. Liability for ownership in Colorado is huge. They shouldn’t advertise continental breakfast. Very limited and low quality choices. Interior of rooms in need of repairs and paint.

Our room was clean and comfortable. The TV took a little time to master and was a little low on the wall from the bed, but we managed. The balcony off the room has an incredible view. There is a nice table on the balcony, but it is metal, so we had to improvise to make it comfortable in the cold. The Blue Door Inn has the potential to be exceptional with a few upgrades. The hot tub and fire pits were not functional in the winter, which was a bummer. The weather was quite mild while we were there, and we would have taken advantage of both on a regular basis. The outdoor areas were unkept for the winter instead of promoting fun winter possibilities. There also were no holiday themes or festive lights. It is a pet-friendly property with an outdoor area for your dog, but it seemed like the staff was standoffish towards our dog. Embracing the pet-friendly theme, updating the outdoor amenities, and making this property more a destination than a landing pad in the winter would make the Blue Door Inn an outstanding place to stay.

We liked that we were able to take our dogs and it was walkable to town. We had a great view of the mountains from our room. On the website it said $20 per night per dog and I actually called the hotel to make sure that was the case and when I went to check in I was told $30 per dog per night. In the end I paid $20 but I didn’t like that the price changed at check in. The breakfast was fine but it was supposed to be between 7:00am and 10:00am and there was no one there until 7:30am and people were waiting to get their breakfast.
