I've spent a ton of money on crappy-value ski lodging, including in Vail. Though this property is…read more50 years old, it was probably the first skiing hotel I've ever stayed at that had all the makings of a good deal. First of all it's a small place so you don't have a mad rush on the hot tubs or pool each day. The build quality is excellent, the sleep quality was superb. The 2-bedroom was a bi-level with an expansive second floor. Very close to the lift and accommodated very early check-in.

Great spot centrally located in Vail. Very short walk to the Lionshead Gondola…read more We recently spent 2 nights here in a loft unit. Downstairs has a full kitchen, living area, 3/4 bath and a murphy bed. Upstairs loft has a bedroom and 3/4 bath. Small window upstairs left it kind of warm so we opted to sleep on the murphy next to the open window and patio door. There is garage parking and you are close enough to everything in Vail that you dont need to drive. We saw a show at the amphitheater and it was only a mile away, the farthest we had to walk the entire weekend. This is a great spot, and a great lodging unit. The staff was super friendly and got us settled easy before scheduled check in. We'll definitely stay here again.

The pool area with 2 hot tubs was very nice to spend time by. Downsides were sound proofing wasn't the best, we could hear muffled conversations and bass from the music of the people above us.

The pool was wonderful- super clean, quiet and warm! We really enjoyed being in the pool and in the sunshine! The grounds were clean and well maintained. The staff was really wonderful! All wore face coverings, hand sanitizer all over, saw many people cleaning throughout our stay! If you're looking for a nice, quiet place to stay- this is your place! Looking forward to another trip here soon!

The furniture and carpeting are worn and the single beds are even smaller than standard twin beds. No air conditioning; the property is close enough to I-70 that the traffic noise is actively distracting, especially with the windows open. The pool is small but fine for kids to play in, and the underground parking is nice to have. No breakfast. I'd give the accommodations two stars, but the location really is convenient.

Their staff are typically great, and their awards program destroys the other major hotel chains, so I'll stay loyal even though I have some bad experiences from time to time. They also say they're going to get the issues with this unit repaired. If you're considering renting a unit in the Vail 21 building, in summer, do yourself a favor and don't. Hyatt does not bother to put this on their site, but the units have no air conditioning. Coloardo is not exactly the moderate climate state it once was 30 or 40 years ago when this building was likely constructed; it gets pretty hot in the summer even up in the mountains. Temps hit 88 two of the four days I was there in June 2022, 82 and 87 the other two days. Next up; at least in unit 601, you have a total of four openings to the outside for cooling. The sliding doors on the main and master level, and the two guest bedrooms each have a window that only opens about four inches. If the wind doesn't blow the right direction, there is little to no movement inside. If you do have everything opened up, you get to listen to I70 all night long as the big rigs roll by, you may get a helicopter or two from either the Vail trauma center or the national guard training, and at 4am the birds start going crazy outside since sunrise is a bit after 5am. So we arrive, the unit is blazing hot. We attempt the 'natural air conditioning' procedure documented in the check-in pamphlet, i.e. open the windows at night, close and curtain during the day so you can't see the view you paid to see. Got zero sleep because the lower rooms were ~79, the master up top was a crisp 85 until about 4-5am when it hit 79. I was up all night because of the aforementioned issues, which is how I know. Toughed it out the second day, but changed my mind late afternoon and wanted a different room anywhere. Front desk didn't answer nor return my voicemail. I then discovered the floorboard radiators were on and super hot. Yes, 88 outside and the heaters were on... Call the emergency maintenance line, they can't send someone until the morning. Seriously. Maintenance shows up at 11am after repeated calls. They show me a secret panel you can remove from the wall to expose the hot water valves that allow you to shut down all the radiators, because the thermostat-controlled valves are broken, hence the heat even when I had everything set to off. So, with little sleep, days one and two were write offs. With the temps tolerable, we at least made the most of days three and four. Aside from the above, unit 601 is a good choice for 20 somethings in the winter ski season, but not much else. It's an odd mix of random things that were probably 'modern' a decade or two ago, but now just look out of place, and were not meant for commercial use, so they're mostly all beat up. You can't close the master, it just has a curtain down to the living room. The spiral stairs to it are impossible to walk quietly. It has a sink that splashes you when you use it because of the angle the faucet hits the slab style counter. The shower either blasts you with high pressure from the ceiling, or has a hand held that won't stay upright in its holder. Most of the outlets in the kitchen don't work. The guest bath has a 'modern' sink no one will be able to figure out. You'll never guess which light switches control what. There's no less than four separate thermostats. The TV's are super tiny and dated. Just a big disappointment.

Wrong assumption we've learned the hard way. on Dec 30th, 2018. We paid a top price on a 2-bedroom apartment for 5 days, and we regretted the moment the elevator door opened at the apartment floor. Licking stains on the wall, asphyxiating smoking smell and an unhanded looking hallway. The apartment 211 is a complete disappointment and a very low-bar offer by the Vail Resort Rentals: old old old, smell like old, the fridge makes a noise because it's from the 80s, stove and exhaust fan are also from the 80s, the bathrooms faucet, and shower are from the early 80s). The carpet is disgusting and the towels (stiff, small, and thin), pillows, and sheets lowest quality than from any Holiday Inn. This property could not be rented by Vail Resort Rentals, a company which supposedly provides good properties to rent,; instead, this property could simply be on Airbnb or vrbo, platforms that don't pretend to provide anything else than a means between landlord and tenants. For health issues, the smell is unbearable, trigging my husband's and my allergy. The smell is the non-negotiable item. Do yourself a favor, don't pay $999 per night here, don't trust the name this company used to inspire the customers, don't deal with "There's nothing we can do", "My manager has the day off today and tomorrow", "We've never had problems before", "I'll have the housekeeping take a look" (the housekeeping crew has a limit to what they are able to do in a 30+ year apartment). Instead, invest the exact same amount staying at The Marriot Vail Mountain Resort, a 5-star hotel for the same price. You will get what you want and the value your money worth. Most importantly, you will then enjoy your stay, be in a clean and healthy space, and be comfortable.

When we told the front desk about all the problems they looked at us like "And you want us to do what?" So that is when I decided to leave this review. We will definitely be shopping around for a different company next fall when we come to Vail again.

The parking is included in the price of the condo, which is great because some of the places we have stayed in charge for parking. Parking can be a little full at times and you may have to park on the lower level, but the elevator is right their and easy to get to. Would recommend.
