The Spotlight on Murphy's Resort

Mountain Views and Music Vibes in Estes Park

Modern lodge-style comfort meets Rocky Mountain charm at Murphy's Resort. Located just minutes from downtown Estes Park and a short drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, this laid-back resort offers easy access to the area's live music spots — plus stunning scenery for a post-show wind-down. With cozy rooms, a seasonal heated pool, and complimentary breakfast, it’s a great base for concert-goers looking to mix tunes with nature.

Why Concert-goers love it

After a night of music, it’s just a quick 5-minute drive back to Murphy’s. Close enough to catch late-night shows in town, but far enough for a quieter recovery near Lake Estes. Free WiFi and flat-screen TVs with DIRECT TV make post-show chilling easy, and there's an indoor hot tub to soak those dancing feet. Early check-out at 8:00 AM might be a bit brisk, but the peaceful mountain setting more than makes up for it.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, affordable stay near nature and nightlife
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list band or artist
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
  • Fans needing quiet after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want more than just a bed

Food and Drink Options

No on-site restaurant, but plenty of walkable dining options nearby in downtown Estes Park. A continental breakfast is served daily — perfect for late risers. While there’s no 24/7 room service or hotel bar, each room comes with coffee-making facilities and a refrigerator to keep snacks and drinks on hand.

Nightlife Options

Estes Park has a growing live music scene with local bars and breweries just a short drive away. While Murphy’s itself doesn’t offer live entertainment, its quiet vibe makes it a perfect place to recharge after a big night out. Head into town for live sets, then retreat to the hot tub under the stars.

What People Say

Guests rave about the friendly staff, clean rooms, and beautiful mountain views. Reviewers love the proximity to both music venues and hiking trails, making it a top choice for those mixing concerts with a nature escape. Many highlight the value for money and the added perks like DVD players and free WiFi.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the early check-out time can be a bit of a buzzkill after a late night. A few rooms may feel a bit dated, though most find them cozy and well-kept. If you're looking for high-end nightlife on-site, you’ll need to head into town.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after a peaceful, affordable place to crash after a concert — with mountain charm and easy access to Estes Park venues — Murphy’s Resort hits all the right notes.

Great place for the price...

Liked: Staff was really great, we got to the hotel early 11:00am and tried to check in. They said the room was not ready but they would text us. They said we can use all the facilities on the grounds until it was open. I asked about the shuttle to town and they went over where to pick it up and drop off was. They made it very easy. AC in the room and having the box fan was a bonus. Shower was amazing.
Disliked: Nothing bad to say.

One night stay passing through...

Liked: The property has a good location, set on the edge of town.
Disliked: The bed was very noisy, unable to roll over without making loud noises and waking up. The continental breakfast was late getting served, with the staff still setting it up 15-20 minutes after it was supposed to be open. Room cleanliness was lacking - something white was smeared on one piece of the window trim that looked like it could have been wiped off by housekeeping.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Jenny Fri, 8 August 2025

Honestly I was disappointed and...

Liked: Location is great!
Disliked: Outdated! The toilet seat is so old that have stains you would mistake it to be dirt! I understand it is clean but my daughter would not sit on the toilet seat because of the stain! It’s an easy fixed, stained seats need to be replaced!
