Stanley Village — Local services in Estes Park

Convenient access next to downtown, lots of awesome businesses including a large Starbucks, McDonalds, Subway, Rocky Mtn Deli (way better than Subway and a local business!), Safeway grocery store, pet store (local, not a chain!), Hallmark Store, Hardware Store, 2 banks, 2 great breakfast places (Notchtop Cafe & Mtn Home Cafe, the only locally owned Pharmacy (Rocky Mtn Pharmacy), laundry mat, real estate office, and a liquor store (Bart's liquor). It gets extremely busy in the summer months and there's definitely not enough parking during peak tourist season. My advice as a local is have lots of patience when shopping Stanley Village and be very safe pulling in and out of tight parking spots. Lots of accidents have occured in this shopping area! Be aware and patient! RV's are allowed but extremely difficult to find parking for. Lots of great businesses and a hub of sorts for me since I shop most all...

Visited Subway in lower Stanley Village. I was given enough meat for half a sandwich even though I ordered a footlong. When I asked to have the order read back to me the kid had no idea what we ordered and when I asked for the receipt the kid clearly hoped I would walk away. We were charged for 2 footlong sandwiches even though my girlfriend got a six inch, and when she told them what they charged us for they made no attempt to rectify the mistakes. I have to say I would not waste my time or money...

Talk about ton's of shops to choose from lordy and plenty of parking. Beautiful downtown Estes Park with jewelry stores, clothing stores, souvenirs of all sorts, glass blown, belt buckles, taffy, candy & restaurants a plenty. The little river park is beautiful to stop and rest along with enjoying the river streaming down the walk. Restrooms and benches available right before you start your shopping adventure. Be patient as the traffic is pretty heavy, but worth the wait to get out...
