My family and I recently stayed at the American Wilderness Lodge and were not thrilled with the accommodations There was gunk around the sink, the room and blinds were very dusty, and the mattress pad and sheet were stained. My kids were excited that it had an indoor pool but the pool area was very dirty. Also the sauna did... more

GROSS!!! The matress was very old and was covered in a plastic fitted sheet which crinkled when you moved. Everything was dirty.

The sheets were old and cheep, stained, gross. Nasty carpet.... more

My family of 5 scheduled two nights stay for vacation in Estes Park. I booked the American Wilderness Lodge for 2 nights. Upon pulling into the parking lot, we were unsure of the place. Our initial thoughts were "unkept, run down, and old." We decided to look at the room before checking in. We found our room to be very... more

Well, there are better places to stay for the price. This is one of the few places with an enclosed indoor pool, and it was in a nice solarium. But the room was kind of cheesy and old-looking for the price. It was noisy too. more
