“The good: + Amazing staff + Great location + Good services on site at a fair price (laundry & ski/board tuning, sharpening, & waxing) The opportunities: - Dated rooms (and the most overly complex shower/tub faucet I've ever seen) - WiFi is nearly unusable from room - Resort fee surprise The details: Stayed here for almost a week. The staff has been very helpful and responsive (eg fan wasn't working in my room and they immediately replaced it ... accidentally left do not disturb on my door after I left and they offered to clean my room when I got back and realized the mistake.) Laundry: far cheaper onsite than any laundromat within 70 miles. DONT use both washing machines at same time as floor drain may (did) overflow. Change machine only accepts $1, $5, $10 but I was able to break a $20 at the front desk. Tuning services: Fantastic! They're done overnight and are back at the hotel around 4:30am... so plenty early enough after dropping them off after a full day on the slopes. Shuttle to Vail: Walk out the back, down the outside stairs to the walkway... where the walkway splits take a LEFT. Hoover the bridge and then turn right to get to either of the bus stops depending where you want to go. Bus stops have an easy to read map and time of when the bus will show. FYI: when you leave your board/skis on the lobby rack (not allowed in rooms) they'll move them to lean against the wall/window in the Venture Sports shop. If the gate is closed & locked the front desk staff can open it up for you. (Only had to do that once when I was out by 7am). $1 wing Wednesday at the bar was great. Nepalese restaurant was also good - amazing curry! -------- - was surprised by the resort fee - both saunas need the nails pounded down again so they don't burn you (or just sit on a towel) - left dry sauna heat dial doesn't work. - hot tub can be either a nice _hot_ tub or a _luke warm_ tub. - exercise room is minimal but functional - I did better using my 1 bar of LTE than the hotel WiFi from my room. - can be noisy. walls seem thin. May want earplugs to block out noise.”
