Default Colorado trip

Needing some advice on places to stay in or around Estes Park and Grand Jct. Staying at the Budget Host in Ft. Collins on saturday, looks close to the Old Towne area. Also any good places to eat in these areas? Thanks!

Estes Park may be pricey - I stayed at the Rodeway Inn on the east end of town a couple months ago. It was pretty nice, but it wasn't real cheap. There's lots of good places to eat in Estes Park. There was a chop house right across the road from the Rodeway, the food was great.

There are lots of places in GJ close to the Harley dealership (exit 31 off of I70 -- Horizon Drive). Clarion, Econolodge, La Quinta, Doubletree to name a few. SJ Ron

If you're in Grand Junction, I recommend riding through Colorado National Monument. VERY worth it..... One end near Grand Junction, other end near Fruita.

Estes Park stay at the saddle and surry motel, biker friendly mom and pop motel and inexpensive. In Grand Junction there is a Laquita inn just down the road from Colorado Monument that is not too bad. My wife and I stayed at both last month and were happy with them. I stayed at the Saddle and Surry Last year also and both times Ive stayed there was good.
