The Spotlight on Kinnikinnik Motor Lodge

Cozy Mountain Vibes Just Minutes from the Music

Modern comfort meets rustic charm at Kinnikinnik Motor Lodge, a quaint and affordable spot tucked just outside downtown Estes Park. Set against scenic mountain views and only 5 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park, this lodge offers laid-back accommodations with a touch of old-school Americana. With traditional-style rooms equipped with Smart TVs, microwaves, refrigerators, and coffee makers, it’s a great base for your next concert weekend or mountain getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the peaceful location after a high-energy show, yet still close enough to the Estes Park Fairgrounds and other local venues—just under a mile away. Post-show recovery is easy with the on-site hot tub, and the picnic and BBQ areas offer a casual space to hang out with friends. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, the quiet atmosphere and low-key vibe make it a relaxing place to decompress after a night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable and chill place to crash
  • Solo travelers on a music pilgrimage
  • Couples seeking a scenic, music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want to unwind in nature after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, each room includes a microwave and fridge—ideal for late-night snacks. The BBQ and picnic area is a bonus for grill-it-yourself meals, and nearby Estes Park restaurants are just a short drive or walk away. Coffee makers in every room make waking up after a late night a little easier.

Nightlife Options

Though the lodge itself doesn’t offer an on-site bar or live music, you’re within easy reach of Estes Park’s local pubs, tasting rooms, and laid-back lounges. Whether you want a quick nightcap or more live tunes, there's plenty nearby to keep the party going—or wind it down.

What People Say

Guests praise the clean rooms, peaceful setting, and friendly service. Many highlight the value for money and the convenience of amenities like free Wi-Fi and Smart TVs. The proximity to local attractions and venues also earns consistent thumbs-up from travelers.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re looking for upscale or ultra-modern, this might feel a bit too retro. Some guests mention that the decor is a little dated, and there’s no air conditioning—but the mountain breezes usually make up for it.

The Bottom Line

A quiet, budget-friendly lodge with all the basics—and a hot tub—for concert-goers looking to relax and recharge in Estes Park.

Superb

Liked: The place was clearly recently remodeled and they did a great job at that. The place clearly was pretty old, but they made the most out of it. The outdoor areas are great, incl the hot tub. Looks brand new. Very comfy and it's so nice to have couches and fire places. We had an issue with the bathroom door, and the staff responded to our request super fast and were really helpful.
Disliked: The bed was pretty squeaky.

Convenient and Comfortable

Liked: This is my second year staying here and we love its close proximity to the Fairgrounds. Secondly, we love the one bedroom room because it fits the 4 of us easily. We find it very comfortable!
Disliked: For the price of the rooms, I really wish housekeeping would come in even if its just a day to take trash, change sheets and towels. Especially when we are there for a week.

Highly recommend for RMNP visitors

Liked: Great price for quality stay at RMNP. Comfy bed, everything needed was covered and the parking lot was roomy. Nice common areas even though we didn’t get to use them much.
Disliked: Limited space, no dedicated table to eat at, not very walkable to the downtown if that’s what you want to do in the evening
