    We loved this place. Its cozy, elegant, really clean and beautiful. The kitchen is very spacious with everything you may need. The staff is very friendly. Before skiing they offer you cliff bars, hot chocolate, pastries, coffee and tea. Defenitly we are returning next time we visit Vail.

    Amazing stay! One of the best experiences we have ever had. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable, bathroom clean and spacious. The view was amazing. The amenities were awesome (pool table, hot tub, ski lockers) and the staff was above and beyond friendly. We will stay here every time.

  • Engine customer Dec 2020

    Covid restrictions in Vail ski resort were awful tho. Very few places to eat, no music, no heated gondolas, RUDE resort and restaurant workers even on Christmas Day...how are u in a bad mood on Christmas?? It’s like they didn’t want you to have fun!! We have always loved Vail, but we won’t be back!

  • Engine customer Oct 2020

    The accommodations exceeded our expectations. The staff is amazing.

  • Engine customer Jul 2019

    No housekeeping for short stays, initially a concern, adequate supplies for a few days. Anthony Szuminski was a great asset to the property, very professional and helpful.

  • Engine customer Mar 2019

    Loved to stay here, definitely coming back. Location is perfect, the building is in excellent conditions and the staff very friendly.

  • Engine customer Feb 2019

    This brand new property is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. The indoor hot tub, pool, and steam room are great features. Unfortunately there is no restaurant on site. We enjoyed our days there but not our nights. The pillows were lumpy in both rooms and quite uncomfortable. We requested some softer pillows; however, housekeeping brought replacements that were just as bad. At $1,260 per night good pillows should be a given. Additionally, we had a 2 bedroom facing the highway and the noise was constant and very noticeable at night. So even though it is a beautiful property we did not have a good night sleep for 5 nights in a row. So if you can make sure to get a room facing the mountain and not the highway and pack enough pillows for everyone in your party you will have a great time and enjoy the property.

    Fantastic room and facilities
