The Alpine Trail Ridge is nothing fancy, but it is clean, affordable, and wonderfully located (right near the entrance to the National Park). What stood out, however, was the hospitality of the folks at the front desk. They were friendly and eager to help with suggestions. Very good experience.

Room was well maintained and very clean! We had a balcony room and would request it again the next we stayed. The staff was very friendly and you could tell they took pride in providing a nice experience for the guests. Location is nice for traveling into the Rocky Mountain National Park. Basic accomodations, nothing fancy.

We recently stayed here for 3 nights and found it to be very clean and comfortable. Our room #104, had 2 queen size beds (the bed was a bit of a tight squeeze for me and my husband), a small table and chairs, TV, fridge (invaluable) and a good size bathroom with a shower cubicle (no bath).
As a previous reviewer said, our room also overlooked the carpark so we too had to keep the curtains closed making the room a little dark but we didn't spend much of the day there anyway so it didn't bother us too much.
Parking is outside your room which is a bonus.
We didn't try using the wifi but found the speed of the internet in reception to be adequate for checking email.
We ate breakfast at the Sundeck twice and found the portions to be good value for money. The food was fresh and well cooked. We didn't have an evening meal there but maybe we should have. Be warned Estes Park is not the culinary capitol of Colorado, we had some of the worse meals of our 3 week holiday here - especially avoid The Wild Rose and dinner at The Other Side (breakfast is good here though).
The motel is very well situated for the entrance to RMNP but is over a mile out of town. There are a few restaurants within walking distance but mostly you will find yourself driving into town and fighting it out with the masses for a parking space.

We stayed at the Alpine Trail Ridge Inn at the beginning of our trip to the national parks in Colorado and Wyoming and enjoyed the experience so much, we returned again at the end of our trip. The motel rooms are spotless with all the amenities, including liquid soap and a nightlight in the bathroom. The beautiful mountain view in the morning as you walk out of your room is a wonderful start to the day. There is a small road behind the motel with very little traffic that is perfect for morning walks or jogs. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This is a very lovely and reasonable place to stay in a beautiful resort town.
