Very easy check in and the staff was very friendly. We were very satisfied with our room. We were able to cook dinner, relax in the hot tub, take a walk around the lake, watch movies. There were many dvd's to take to your room. Best of all we were able to take our dog. We will be returning !

We enjoyed our stay at Murphy’s resort. There was goose poop everywhere though not the fault of the owners. The managers were very accommodating and helpful. We loved the selection of dvds and games. The room and playground could use some updating/maintenance but we had no real issues with it. Overall it was a nice stay.

We were in Estes Park for a family wedding. This older motel resort was very affordable, included a large selection of items for a continental breakfast, coffee, juice, and bottled water (which you need in the arid high altitude (7800 feet)). It was easy to find and only a couple of miles from downtown historic Estes Park, about 5 miles to Rocky Mountain National Park

This is a good place to stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. Restaurants and Rocky Mtn NP were all a short drive away. I can see it being even more appealing coming in the summer with kids. There is a nice playground area in the middle. We had an adjoining room and from the bathroom area you could pretty much here the next door conversations and the dog barking periodically. It was not a big deal for us and didn't impact our sleep. However, just something to be aware of.

Great Valentine's Day Overnight

Room was really clean and the jacuzzi tub was great in the room! I'm a stickler for the hot water staying hot while filling up the tub and it it stayed HOT! Also, it's great that you can use the DVDs in the front office for free and can grab some free popcorn too. Overall a great stay and will be back!
