The Maxwell Inn

Location - short walk into town, short drive to Rocky Mountain National Park

"complimentary" breakfast was very disappointing, very little choice, Nothing hot, not even toast

Location, cleanliness, quiet.

Not enough bath towels in bathroom and breakfast needs an upgrade. Maybe some bagels, a toaster and cream cheese.

Great location near RMNP. Nice little (continental)breakfast included. They have an outdoor fire circle, hot tub and tables for evening relaxing from where we watched a lightning storm one evening. Owners were nice and helpful. The place is nothing fancy, but perfect for us!

We like to cook our own meals, so a larger fridge would’ve been nice, though this one was workable.

The location was quiet, clean and comfortable.

I wish breakfast was available earlier, as we left for the park earlier and did not have many options to eat or get more coffee before we left.

We truly enjoyed our stay at The Maxwell Inn. Beautiful Inn; just what I wanted in visiting Estes Park and the mountains. Great location, Great Hosts, couldn't have been more perfect. Clean, comfy, beautiful decor, good breakfast and coffee. Dana and Peter were very helpful in answering questions and giving us ideas on what to see. We felt like Family before we left. Definitely want to make it back out to stay there again! Would recommend to anyone. Also, really enjoyed seeing the Elk visit us in the morning and evening...at least 3 days out of the 4 we were there! Very quiet area, and beautiful views!

The Good: This Inn looks like a chalet on the outside and has Craftsman architecture accents inside and out. The shower works well and there is plenty of counter space by the sink. There is a continental breakfast. The receptionist when we checked in was very personable and made a good recommendation for dinner. It is a short walk to down town. The Disapointing: I found out a bear had been in the yard the night before by overhearing a conversation. As I inquired she suggested we move any food into the room. If I hadn’t overheard the conversation we would have left the food in the car. The mattress is extremely uncomfortable. Their supposedly “simple” to use thermostat is not simple. I was furious when the receptionist inferred I was simple for not figuring it out. Cold air comes in through the fireplace which must play havoc with the simple thermostat. The stone chosen for the sink appears to be wet all the time and the shower pressure is poor. The lite continental breakfast was all prepackaged food, not even any fruit. No decaf coffee but good selection of herbal and regular tea. Finally, they made a big deal out of printing out a receipt, a simple thing to do.
