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.

Amazing vibes and stay for...

Liked: The staff and facility was beyond any of our expectations! We arrived and the front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating, walking us through the entire facility and pointing out the free DVDs, board games, and popcorn in the lobby for guest use. We were going to miss breakfast because of an early morning hike, so they allowed us to take some provisions from the breakfast bar the night before, which was so generous! The facilities were amazing -- heated pool, fire pit, hot tub, outdoor games. They even had live music when we arrived on Monday evening, making the vibes even better.
Disliked: Nothing

Very good

Liked: Good location and friendly staff. It was quiet in May and I saw some elk in the early morning, which was wonderful!
Disliked: We went there in May so there were not many people and it was quiet, but it might be busy in summer time and you might hear noises from next door. We had two sinks, one inside the bathroom and one outside. The one inside was great, but the one outside smelled bad, so we didn’t use it.
