What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 694 guest reviews
Hotel Estes earns strong overall sentiment for its stunning location, consistently clean rooms, warm staff, and family-friendly extras like poolside amenities, s'mores, and popcorn nights. However, a recurring thread of complaints centres on the continental breakfast being too basic and repetitive, and some rooms showing their age with dated bathrooms and worn flooring. It's a solid, unpretentious choice that rewards guests who prioritise setting and value over luxury finishes.
