Econo Lodge Inn & Suites, Estes Park

My wife and I stayed at Lake Estes Inn and Suites for two days and one night. We got the executive suite which included a Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi defiantly did not meet our expectations. We had put fresh water in, but there were bubbles that collected in the corners of the tub that almost looked like soap bubbles, but when they popped they left a strange residue that looked like skin. The screens to the windows did not fit the window properly and allowed insects to enter the room. There were ants that were also in the room. The room also offered a refrigerator. The problem with the refrigerator was it did not get cold; regardless of which way I turned the knob it never got colder. There was also a lot of dirt and grime in the corners of the room. The pool, and giant hot tub were the biggest disappointment I have ever incurred. The hot tub was not even filled or working. The pool was extremely dirty, having various plants and insects in it. It was clear that the building was not maintained well. There are many other surrounding hotels, that are much better maintained and worth the money. 189.99$ a night was definitely not worth it. It was more like a roach motel than a suite. Others that also stayed there, told me that the condition of the building and other offered amenities have immensely deteriorated over the years. He told me that he had been going there the last 5 years, and conditions have been becoming worse and worse every year. Overall, I would discourage anyone considering staying there. Keep in mind there are much better establishments to stay at. I will never stay at Lake Estes Inn and Suites again.
