Subject Unacceptable Stay Experience Tivoli Lodge Vail 4/14-17 left by choice 4/16 instead of…read morecompleting our stay. My recent stay at Tivoli Lodge in Vail was unacceptable and far below the standards one expects from a property of this reputation and location. We checked in after a winter storm and were assigned room 403 on the fourth floor. The room was freezing, with a heating unit that did not function properly. After contacting the front desk, maintenance briefly attended to the issue, but the problem was not resolved. During the first night, the heat became excessive and uncontrollable. With a new and inexperienced front desk attendant on duty, and the likelihood that no maintenance staff would be available, we were forced to open the balcony door in winter conditions simply to make the room tolerable. During that same night, water began dripping/leaking from the ceiling. The following day, after returning from breakfast, the room had again become excessively hot. The thermostat still did not function. Maintenance was sent once more and noted they repaired it, but within minutes, significant water dripping leakage developed not just a minor drip, but a steady and concerning flow from the ceiling and wall framing in both the entry and bathroom areas. Our carpets were drenched our sock wet At that point, we had no choice but to demand a room change and were moved to room 405, , which was a much larger and nicer room. While the heating system there functioned properly, it still presented issues, including a broken closet handle another clear sign of poor upkeep. What made the situation worse was how it was handled. Housekeeping staff pressured us by their immediate presence to vacate quickly so the room could be reset, despite the hotel being nearly empty. This was unnecessary and inconsiderate. Shortly thereafter, a staff member returned and knocked aggressively on our door over a forgotten item. The manner was inappropriate and unprofessional. Although there were moments of professionalism particularly a mature front desk associate with a Caribbean accent who was pleasant, friendly, and helpful I would also like to recognize her more fully. She stood out as someone who was genuinely trying her best to be kind, attentive, and helpful under difficult circumstances. Her demeanor, patience, and willingness to assist were appreciated and reflected the level of service the hotel should consistently strive to provide. Unfortunately, the overall experience still reflected a lack of coordination, training, and accountability. In contrast, a late evening desk clerk was unable to provide even basic assistance in locating open dining options, citing unfamiliarity with the area. I understand that between-season periods can present operational challenges. However, if the resort is open, it should be fully prepared to serve and satisfy the guests it chooses to accommodate especially when occupancy is so low. We did not create these problems the hotel did. Yet at no point did we receive a strong or meaningful apology, nor any gesture to help ameliorate the situation. Both are not only appropriate but expected under these circumstances. As a result of these ongoing issues, we made the decision to leave on Thursday instead of Friday, as we felt it was simply not worth extending our stay to the schedule day. This only compounded our disappointment it was a choice we made based on our experience. I would also strongly suggest that management exercise better judgment when the hotel is operating at very low occupancy. In such circumstances, guests should be proactively upgraded to the best available rooms rather than being assigned rooms with known or even obvious deficiencies. This experience reflects poorly on the management of Tivoli Lodge. A property that is largely empty has no excuse for assigning a defective room, failing to resolve repeated maintenance issues, and handling guest disruptions so poorly. Tivoli Lodge is a beautiful property with a great location, but this was a sad and disappointing experience. PD ...I would also like to note a truly positive experience during our stay at The Little Diner, a Vail institution well known for its accolades in both service and quality of food, delivered an outstanding breakfast experience. His professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness were exceptional and stood in sharp contrast to the challenges we encountered at the hotel. Jose Pienknagura 602-321-2004 Josepienknagura@gmail.com

Gold Pointe: Breckenridge Penthouse…read more We try to visit Breckenridge, Colorado every year. Gold Pointe Resort, and this is very special resort. The newer penthouse suites are extremely nice. A lack of on-site swimming pool is a big plus (no kid noise). The views are fantastic. We visit during the ski season, summer, and fall. The penthouse condo is pure indulgence. Gold Point (888.783.8883 or customerservice@breckenridgegrandvacations.com) provides a much-needed vacation experience. A gourmet kitchen or fine dining is available. Hiking and ski trails abound. During ski season, we park underground free at our sister resort, Grand Timber Lodge. We sometime stay at Grand Timber Resort but find this resort to be inundated with feral children, and parents who are desperately seeking solitude from their own children. The redeeming feature of Grand Timber Resort is that free underground parking is provided within a short walk of the ski lift for owners of Gold Pointe Resort. Of course, Breckenridge offers several different corporate timeshares, and we do not prefer the timeshares within the town's limits. As Marriott owners, we were greatly disappointed with the Breckenridge Marriott as well as with the nearby Vail Marriott. Most Colorado ski resorts offered enclosed parking, and Gold Pointe Resort offers real garages. It may be a good idea to rent a 4*4 SUV during the ski season. I have traveled through 90% of large U.S. airports, and I loathe the Denver airport with a passion. Who can predict I-70 weather during ski season? We really prefer to flight into Colorado Springs and drive to Breckenridge Skiing at Breckenridge is fantastic. And skiing Colorado is huge; Arapahoe Basin, Aspen Highlands, Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, Copper Mountain, Crested Butte, Echo Mountain, Eldora, Howelsen, Loveland, Monarch Mountain, Powderhorn, Purgatory (Durango), Silverton, Mountain Ski Cooper, Snowmass, Sol Vista Basin, Steamboat, Sunlight, Telluride, Vail, Winter Park, Wolf Creek Ski Area. Colorado is a large state, and one cannot ski all these mountains from a base in Breckenridge. Breckenridge, Colorado is a vibrant four-season recreation community. "The stunning landscape, cultural heritage, authentic mining vernacular, and Victorian atmosphere have created a thriving community and premier year-round family resort, which attracts both national and international visitors. With world-class skiing, a continuous series of summer-time events, and over 600 restaurants, galleries, and services Breckenridge looks forward to continuing economic viability while preserving its unique history and character." To really enjoy Breckenridge, please download the Breckenridge dining guide at http://www.breckenridgediningguide.com/. We avoid the salon style restaurants that feature 25 televisions, and we are careful to elude the family eateries. A little exploration of the Breckenridge dining guide will provide great cuisine and romantic dining experience. We find summer vacations at Gold Pointe to be an absolute delight. While a little snow is present, there is an abundance of hiking trails, mountain biking, cultural activities, natural beauty, art galleries, ... My very favorite day's end activity is going to the private front deck of the condo, cracking open a nice Cabernet Sauvignon and simply enjoying the pure insouciance of the enrapturement of the ardent mountain beauty. Use caution in exchange or purchase at Gold Pointe; several of the older units are definitely not five stars, but the newer penthouse units afford terrific views of the mountains, have at least 4 bedrooms, a huge well-equipped kitchen, and a large dining room and deserve a five-star rating. Because I travel often to U.S. cities like New Orleans and San Francisco for national conference presentations, I exchange into city condos. While the hotel savings are great, I really prefer the natural environment and the luxury of scale of the condo and the scale of Breckenridge, Colorado.

Go to the Bunk House!!…read more The Bunk House Lodge is a thru-hiker's paradise. Mitch, the host, is delightful, genuinely kind, and a fantastic conversationalist who makes you feel at home the moment you arrive. The lodge itself is a wonderfully quirky historic cabin full of charm and character. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed for weary hikers, from the hot tub, luxury rain showers, bidet, and incredibly cushy carpets to the complimentary toiletries, towels, and laundry service. The bunk beds are comfortable and equipped with privacy curtains, and the beautiful stained glass, local artwork, cozy patio, and three sweet resident dogs make it a place you'll want to linger. Breakfast was complimentary and even included fresh fruit and dairy-free options, and there was an honor-system bar stocked for the evening. My group of four practically had the whole place to ourselves, and we took full advantage of everything it had to offer. At only $60 a night, it felt like an incredible value. There are also private rooms available for those looking for a little more privacy. This was one of the most hiker-friendly hostels I've ever stayed in. I'd happily return in a heartbeat.

If you have a large group and want to stay in, there's a full-service kitchen and a spacious dining area to enjoy. If you prefer to go out, it's just minutes from town and everything Breckenridge has to offer. As a solo traveler, I've never had a bad time here--I've met so many interesting monsters! If you're there to ski or snowboard, the bus picks you up right outside, so you don't need to worry about parking in Breckenridge. The Bunkhouse is funky and eclectic, with old-world warmth and charm. You'll also want to love fur babies because if you're lucky, they'll take a liking to you and you can cuddle up on the sofa with a glass of wine. Mitch is the hostess with the mostest! His laugh is contagious, and his generosity and kindness set the bar for hospitality. This is a true lodge experience, so be open to meeting new people and sharing space. Bring your beer, wine, or whiskey, and relax in the bar while enjoying a drink. It's a great place to reconnect with the space around you and be present in the moment. The worst part about staying at Mitch's place is having to leave.

What's not to love? Not sure I even want to share this place…read morewith anyone else who might not appreciate it, but I hv benefitted from it and I hope this helps others find it as well. My friend brought me here, saying, if I'm going to try any hostel, anywhere in the world, it should be here or his other favorite - in Wales. It is a gorgeous autumn in Colorado, so Breckinridge it is. How incredibly fortunate for me that my first hostel was here. I'm constantly reminded that not every hostel is so nice. What a lovely place. Well appointed, so clean - which is all important in this pandemic time. Everyone is friendly. We stayed in a 6-bunk room with a total 4 ppl in it. The less agile (that'd be me) was lucky to get a lower bunk (not sure how that works, we lucked out that not all the berths were full!) The other two ppl were solo travelers, one from South America, the other from Russia. They were friendly and polite. We all did our own thing; I crashed out early, so I wasn't bothered at all that another guest had to pack luggage for an early flight out the next day. There are outlets at each bunk, even USB chargers And a lamp which was a necessity when hvg to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I thought the room was comfortable; temps got down into the 30's overnight but I was comfortably cozy in my bed with its duvet; there were extra blankets in the closet if needed. My friend thought it too warm but he runs that way, but he slept thru the night fine too. A word about the bedding: mine was fine, clean, smelled clean. But one of the other bunks had yellowed bedding - with stains. I presume it was washed and cleaned just looked used, and if you got there in daylight or with all the lights on, one would hv seen it, but I didn't till the next morning when we were getting ready to leave and that might've bn off putting. I came down early, just before sunrise The general areas were at a comfortable temp. Wasn't time yet for breakfast, but some kind soul had already started the coffee. I went for a walk, took some pix, came back once guests had started to straggle in. What a friendly, informative bunch! My friend tells me that's most hostel-goers. And the food was pretty good, pancakes, eggs, cereal; I got the oatmeal and an English muffin. The coffee smelled really good. And I was so happy they had powdered hot chocolate too! Special mention must be made of Belage (sorry, may hv misspelled) but he is a welcoming, knowledgeable host and made us feel at home. If you come here, please contribute positively. I worry that the wrong sort would detract from such a lovely accommodation and experience. And yeah, I'll hv to keep in mind that almost certainly other hostels aren't like this, but it is now my gold standard.

I found fireside online and it was by far the most affordable option in Breckenridge for a single night so I went for it in a two person dorm, and luckily I happened to be the only one in that room that night! The room was definitely snug but it was cozy and very comfortable and I slept very well. Finding the place was also very easy, they provide very clear instructions and there is plenty of parking at the church across the street (just mind their specific parking instructions and you won't have any trouble). Re: the interior: it's actually a very large place with two full baths and one half bath. I never even saw/heard another guest when I came but again it was late. The vibe was that it was a very comfy, chill place - they have soothing music playing over by the office door where the coffee/tea machines are, and there is a small kitchen and living room area. They had a real fire going in the living room area and there were games and books and lots of "things to do" brochures around, so truly it felt like being in a cozy cabin. I genuinely really loved that vibe. Not to mention it's quite close to the main road - you could easily walk but because it was raining heavily the night I came, I did drive all of 3 minutes to avoid walking 15 in the rain to the bar on Main Street I wanted to go to. They also sent me a text when i came in case i had questions, so they are available to help you. Overall - if you're coming and staying here for just a night or two and all you need is a bed/shower/safe space, this place is GREAT. Admittedly the rooms aren't big (at least mine wasn't), but again as a solo traveler it was fine. Would def rec to friends :)

Sturdy, grated outside steps lead to this suite, for safe access and for privacy. The location is unbeatable, just a 3-block walk to town and to all of the shops and restaurants. The "Free Ride" city bus stops in front of the Fireside Inn, and can take you to the Gondola and Breck Station, if you don't feel like making the 7-minute walk. [Tip: Epic Mountain Express shuttle vans from the airport can drop you directly at the Fireside Inn!] Our host Madi communicated beautifully before and during our visit. She and her family have put a lot of love and thought into making this a warm refuge from the cold and excitement that is Breckenridge.

Some highlights: *The customer service was great however, and the girl who checked us in was more than friendly. *Our room had a great view of the mountain side and was quite big. We ended up getting a two room suite - one living room with pull out couch and bathroom and one adjoining bedroom with slightly larger bathroom. The beds were comfy and I have no complaints here. Unfortunately my brother's flight was cancelled with the Atlanta/N.Carolina snow storm and he wasn't able to make it and we enjoyed the oversized room by ourselves. *There are ski lockers downstairs which is helpful but we ended up just checking our skis overnight at the base of the River Run Gondola (honestly how to people trek these things around with no oxygen! lol). *There are 3 hot tubs spread around the hotel. I didn't use any of them, but my parents enjoyed the one on the roof. Some lowlights: *Parking was the worst part, there were only a handful of spots and if you had to use the free valet it was a pain getting the car, despite being asked ahead of time what time you would like it back. *Free breakfast was included in the room price, but my parents warned me that it wasn't anything special and it was worth going down the road a big to the Haywood Cafe. I'd stay here again, but I'd also look into something slightly cheaper. Unfortunately for mountainside lodging (and it being a holiday weekend) this is about as cheap as it gets (and that was an arm and a leg). Don't trust Yelp/Siri or any other map to get you here. Look for the big "The Inn" signs. Siri thought this place was about 1/2 mile north of it's actually locatation.

I also liked how they had lotion everywhere because they knew it was dry there! The group rate was phenomenally cheap I thought for a place of this caliber and overall the daily breakfast was yummy and the bartender is funny.
