Most Overpriced Vail Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/27/06
I was there with 5 friends from Feb. 24-26th we got 2 rooms for over $400/ each per night for a standard. Big waste of money. This is a hotel w/ rooms just a touch better then a Hampton Inn. Rooms are small, cramped with so much ski gear. Coffee and Tea will cost $4 xtra// Restaurant closes early, no late night room service. Spa is like a sports med dept at college. massage rooms are off major walkway to pool// yes you'll hear the kids running. I had a family stop outside my room as they apparently ran into someone they knew, loud laughing stressful experience, and hotel would not refund massage. Not even a discount. Major Construction around hotel, not going to be completed for a couple years. Adds to noise all day long. If you're used to high end hotels you will not like this spot. If you stay at Best Westerns or Comfort Inns, You'll probably enjoy it. It's more geared toward families. Beware walls are paper thin, you'll hear neighbors conversation word for word or in our case, snore for snore. Staff is friendly but, bell hop did say he usually gets more then the $10 I gave him. I'd stay at the Hyatt in Beaver Creek or pay a little extra and rent a condo. By the Way with the construction Lions Head is completely dead.. meaning no restaurants or nightlife to enjoy. Those looking for a party need to stay closer to Vail Village.
