We booked the Double King room after another hotel failed to meet our expectations. Right off the bat the staff was wonderful. They called and informed us we could check in early. The room was fantastic. The entire site was very clean, maintained and family friendly. The kids loved the indoor pool and we loved the hot tub. Only thing i could say is do laundry intown. Their machine is very small but their dryer takes hours to dry. After two hours we had to just let the clothes air dry lol. Vent was clean, temp was on high. Just wasnt able to get them dried. I only list that because they ask for feedback. Thats not even a deal breaker though lol. They even called to tell us our gloves were left behind and offered to mail them back. The staff was phenomenal. Located perfectly, Rocky Mountain national park is just minutes away as is shoppong and dining. We cant wait to come back. Estes always ensures we feel at home.

We enjoyed our February stay at Murphy River Lodge! There was plenty of available parking and we were able to easily walk downtown for shops and dining. It is a short drive to the Rocky’s. The staff were very welcoming and offered coffee and popcorn in the lobby which was very nice. I would stay here again.

Great stay with our kids, (6 & 8). The room had everything we needed, lots of space and great amenities. Close to Main Street but still very peaceful. Indoor pool with hot tub was perfect for a winter getaway.

Can’t go wrong!

You can’t beat the service here! From the minute I booked, someone reached out to me to make sure they’d be prepared for our visit. We don’t love to travel with our dogs but we had to, and their dog friendly suites are amazing. River front, easy access to the patio that locks so you can let your pets sit outside for a bit. Super clean inside and comfy. Well appointed and even had a portable fan. We’ll be back!

The lodge is older and it is noticed that in some places it has already been renovated and in some places not yet. What you remember when you leave this lodge is that it has a very good location, very nice staff, it is clean and equipped with everything a traveler needs.
