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 stay with great staff!

Liked: The staff at the hotel were incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. Although we had to leave before breakfast started, they kindly allowed us to take a few breakfast items the day before, which was much appreciated. At check-out, we were also given bottled water along with some snacks, which was a thoughtful and welcome gesture. It was a nice touch that popcorn was available for free, adding a little extra to our experience. Overall, we felt well taken care of by the team.
Disliked: The high table in the room was not comfortable to sit at.But this didn't really impact our stay at all.

Do not stay here

Liked: Close to town
Disliked: Everything else. Front desk messed up our rooms and made us feel bad for wanting the room we actually wanted. When my friend and I said we didn’t want to share a bed, they started asking questions. I don’t have to answer those. Also, the front desk girl literally asked us ‘uh, what are you?’, referring to me and my gay friend, not understanding friends can share rooms. Very discriminating.

I love this place

Liked: This place exceeded our expectations. Although the exterior looks a bit dated, the interior is very clean and well maintained. The staff are extremely friendly and genuinely care about their guests. Both the pool and the hot tub are excellent, and they even offer free bicycle rentals. DVDs, popcorn, and firewood are also provided for free, which was a nice touch. In the morning, you can even watch herds of elk right outside. Our family truly enjoyed our stay here, and we’d love to come back again in the fall.
Disliked: Nothing
