I'm not sure that the grumpy reviewer stayed at the same place. The Olympus Lodge is great! The people who work there are more than pleasant. The morning view of Mt. Meeker and Long's Peak is outstanding. The beds and furniture are cozy and my dog agrees too. The kitchen is well stocked with kitchen utensils making cooking meals easy. A great way to save money. There is plenty to do nearby as well as a free shuttle stop within spitting distance. If you are really ambitious, you can hike Mt. Olympus from the front door. All this for the chapest price in town. What more can you ask for? My parents are staying there when they come to town on my recommendation.

When I called the man said the main lodge was full but they had
a nice room in the "annex". The internet pictures are old and the
non-smoking room had previously been a smoking room, as we
discovered as soon as we turned on the air conditioner and the
room filled with odor of stale tobacco. I was told the next morning
that the room was also "pet friendly", which might explain some of my wife's breathing problems. This place is to be avoided !
I believe I was misled about the condition and quality of the
rooms.

Very surprised to find motel of this caliber on outskirts of Estes Park - room was huge with recliner, very attractive bed linens, and big fluffy towels. Breakfast next morning was great, cereal, toast, rolls, waffles, etc. Had big table where we joined other guests for very enjoyable meal. View of mountains was outstanding.

The Olympus Lodge is a adequate hotel. The rooms are clean but small. They smell old when you enter them. The continental breakfast is very basic. We were disturbed by the fact they have large open boxes of cereal as part of the breakfast as opposed to the individual boxes most hotels offer. This is a decent hotel but over priced.
