Silver Moon Inn
A solid base for Rocky Mountain country, with room for the dog.
A place to stay in Estes Park
Silver Moon Inn is a 3-star hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, rated 9.0/10 across 408 guest reviews. Location, staff, and cleanliness are the three qualities guests single out most. Rooms include a microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, and tea and coffee maker — practical for guests who want to keep their own hours rather than depend on dining out. The property is pet-friendly, has free parking on site, and keeps outdoor space with a fireplace, picnic area, and BBQ facilities. A hot tub rounds out the outdoor setup. Rooms are non-smoking, and facilities for disabled guests are available.
Who it's a good fit for
A well-kept, mid-range hotel with free parking, a hot tub, and good access to Estes Park's hiking and outdoor activities — not a resort, but a practical, comfortable place to land.
Best for
- Families visiting Rocky Mountain National Park
- Pet owners who need a reliable place to stay
- Couples or groups wanting outdoor space and a hot tub
- Hikers and anglers based in Estes Park
Less suited to
- Travellers wanting a full-service hotel with an on-site restaurant
- Those seeking a downtown urban hotel experience
Outdoor space worth using
The property has an outdoor fireplace, picnic area, dedicated outdoor furniture, and BBQ facilities. It's a proper setup for an evening outside after a day on the trails — and the hot tub is there when legs need a soak.
Rooms with a kitchen corner
Every room comes with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee machine alongside a tea and coffee maker. For an early-morning trailhead start or a late return from fishing, having food and drink on hand in the room matters.
Pet-friendly by design
Silver Moon Inn specifically designates pet-friendly rooms, making it one of the more deliberate options in Estes Park for guests travelling with animals. Free parking is on site, which helps on arrival with gear and pets in tow.
