Southern Rocky Mountains hotel rooms a the Independent

"We stayed here during our visit to Rocky Mountain National Park. Check-in was easy and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel and rooms were clean and spacious, and we were pleasantly surprised that the room had a microwave. The hotel is about a 15 minute drive from the entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park and very convenient to the main street of Estes Park, including Safeway and gas stations. It also has a very beautiful view of Lake Estes and the surrounding mountains."

"Countless activities to enjoy -- worthy of a multiple night stay and convenient to the National Park."

"Everything was excellent!!! Restaurant was great!"

"Beautiful property and staff was extremely helpful and polite. "

"Food options were great"

"Beautiful area with a stunning buffalo greeting us walking across the lawn at check in. We ventured behind our cabin and found a herd of elk feeding together we watched from a safe distance. It's close to Hayden Valley for more wildlife searching and we found a wolf and a bull elk and more buffalo. The food was good and service quick at the soda fountain style dining option. The grocery store has a great selection as well as grab and go food. the cabin was quaint and comfortable"

"Our stay was excellent! 10 out 10!!"

"as I have reviewed stays here previously, as always the Grand Vista Hotel in GJ is always the best choice. upon arrival this particular room (pet friendly) smelled like dog pee and cleaning solution… suggest upgrading the solution used in cleaning pet friendly rooms."
