The staff is really friendly. They serve hotdogs and drinks which is great after tubing for 90 minutes. The lines moved right along and there was someone at the bottom to help out. The lodge was nice and warm for me. Plus it's locally owned and not some corporation. The hill was a little bare (outside their control) but the tubes still flew down the hills.

We went skiing with Powder Addiction and had a great time. We met at the Jones Pass parking lot and…read morethe snowcat showed up right on time. There were 3 people working the trip, a driver and 2 guides. They had all of our avalanche gear ready to go in backpacks, lunch was on the snowcat waiting for us and they gave a nice complimentary water bottle. They gave us avalanche beacons and a showed us how to use them, tested them to make sure they worked, and gave us a safety briefing along with an explanation of how the 2 guides work together to make things as safe as possible - I definitely felt super safe in the hands of the guides, it was clear that they knew what they were doing. The snowcat was very comfortable and they are very focused on customer service at all times. Now, to the skiing...... Great guides. We were skiing on a day that had interesting conditions. Being a "ridge rat" at Loveland I was well aware of a storm that came in a few days earlier and blew most of the snow off the high mountains leaving not much but wind blown snow. That was certainly the conditions we were seeing everywhere, but the guides had ideas and they were really good ones. They knew their terrain very well and found us some powder that ranged from decent to awesome - mostly awesome. We did have to do some hiking off of the cat to get to the stashes, but it was well worth it and not a big deal. Being a "bit older" I took the hikes kind of slowly, but never felt pressured, and was always reassured that it was no big thing by the guides. We took 8 or 9 runs. Here is the fun part - we never took the same run twice - even though there were some I really wouldn't have minded to ski again, the guides stepped it up with every run. Not only was each run different, but we were the only people who had skied on any of them - first tracks all day long. The runs were super fun - a mix of wide open and somewhat tight. My nephew who skied with us and loves the trees was in heaven. I like more wide open areas and i was in heaven too. Again, the guides were great - one would ski down the run first to do a safety check and/or set a left or right hand line. The second guide stayed with the group and they communicated via radio where the safe lines were and we skied down one at a time. Once the group had all skied down the second guide would clear the hill and we were back on the cat. Very little time was wasted but the guides were keenly aware of conditions and potential hazards and safety was clearly job #1. Finding Powder was job #2 with a bullet and these guys did a great job of finding great snow on a day that I was concerned was going to be very difficult. Super cold beer at the end of the day was very welcome. :-) I have to say that I was really impressed with the entire experience. Great people, great terrain, great snow, great time. Highly recommended.

Family owned and a homey atmosphere; a nice place to stay in Winter Park - definitely worth the…read morestay. This place is definitely old school compared to a normal hotel, which I loved. Rooms were clean and well maintained, and had all of the basics you would need. Everything related to a ski day was nice here - had storage for skis and boots so that you didn't have to bring them to your room. In the morning they have a nice spread for breakfast including fruit and cereal, and also have some hot items including eggs, toast, sausage, and bacon. Definitely enough to get you fueled and ready for the day. Then there is a van they run that takes you right to the gondola leaving at 8:30, 9, 9:30. Taking the first van gets you there right for the start of day. And you don't have to worry about parking, walking, and paying at the resort. Rides back were at 3:15 and 4:15 which gave plenty of time at the mountain. I didn't get a chance to try the hot tub but it looked nice. There were some cozy spots in the lounge with fireplaces to sit and relax. And a ping pong table that a few kids were using to stay entertained. Parking here was convenient, and the location is good; very close to everything in Winter Park. Overall I was very impressed with this stay. I will definitely look here first when looking for a place to stay in Winter Park moving forward. I thought it was a fair value, and the amenities made for easy ski days where all I had to do was get dressed and show up to the van on time, and not worry about anything else.

The Good: - Super nice owners and staff!…read more- Cute and eclectic building - Good location near bus stop and walking distance to most things in town - Price was reasonable - Hot water was fine, 4 ppl took showers without an issue The So-So: - Noise: thin walls, if people are loud or exterior doors open/close, you def hear it. Being close to the road, you hear trucks, etc - FYI... this place is old, not 'fancy' and even a bit odd. It was Clean, so not gross but def old and things were not "perfect" decor wise or function (sink was a little odd but we made it work). I knew this would be the same reading other reviews and it didnt both me so I'm not deducting stars for it, but it may not be the style people who are looking for a Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn, Marriott or mid-end AirBnB style place (which is what I usually stay at) may want. The Not Good: - The only real negative was the beds. Our room had 2 Queen beds and could not get good sleep on either one. They were not supportive and I just tossed/turned all night, waking several times.  It didnt help that any small movement (even from a 5 yr old) was amplified by the springs and the bed was bouncy - which woke me up. I travel a lot, sleep on a lot of different beds... dont have this problem anywhere else. if they get new beds I'll stay there again... I doubt I will. My wife definitely will not, she was not happy (yes, I paid the price for that).

We didn't do it for the ski rental so that process was a little longer. Still everything was done quickly. They have an outdoor storage area where you can keep your skis/snowboards overnight and it's safe. In the back they have some lockers and restrooms. The return process was very simple. No need to sign anything or have the equipment checked. Just drop everything off in its designated place and walk away.

Ultimately I would have much preferred to have overnighted in the town of Grand Lake, Colorado...a lot closer to Rocky Mountain, NP. Unfortunately rooms were ultra expensive in that quaint little town, so I "bit the bullet" and drove 35 miles away to stay here in Winter Park. I spent $100 plus tax for a Friday night. I was pleasantly surprised how big the room was. Besides 2 queen sized beds, accommodations included a lounge chair, plenty of closet space and an extended area for the bathroom. The spaciousness of the room was absolutely the best part of the motel! I checked in relatively late evening (8pm) and there were no issues. Parking was free and right in the back of the building. Valley Hi is located in the center of Winter Park with plenty of options for food all over town. There is free continental breakfast and coffee offered in the morning with your stay but the following day I had a long drive and grabbed food on the road. Although I was ideally looking for accommodations within the confines of the western part of Rocky Mountain National Park, Valley Hi Motel was more than a suffice place to put my head down and rest for the evening. If you're exploring in the Winter Park/Fraser area, I'd give the green light to come here.
