I know the men who run this hotel are from back east & true - east coasters can be "abrupt." I'm from New York & can call this as it was which just bordered on rude. I made a point to check out late with the front desk & told them I had food in the fridge we were taking home. I'd bought really nice cheese, pate & wine for a friend's birthday, along with leftovers from a very nice, expensive meal the night before. We walked around town that morning & came back to the hotel to grab the food & check out. The room was uncleaned & looked untouched when we walked back in but the refrigerator had been completely emptied! I checked with the front desk on what happened & was eventually told everything had been thrown out. What was the point of me telling them exactly what I was doing?! What a waste of money with everything that was thrown out & no attempt was made at making this good for me. I was very disappointed with the service. It was an inexpensive room (in the off season) & the view was nice though the room was dated & the elevator smelled.

Man, I struggled with the stars on this review like no other. The only way I can think to do this…read morereview is with pros and cons. PROS: Price - this condo is by far the least expensive place I've ever stayed in Vail. It is so reasonably priced that it's really hard to complain about anything. Location - this is the biggest pro of all. You are right in the middle of everything in Lionshead Village with an easy walk anywhere you want to go. I'm not sure how to classify this one, but the room and bathroom was scrupulously clean, which is always very important to me anywhere I stay. CONS: The decor is very dated and made it feel a little cheap and shabby. The sofa bed was horribly uncomfortable. It sounds silly, but there wasn't a guide for the TV channels and it wasn't on the screen itself, so if you watch TV, there will be lots of clicking around. And the things in the middle - one, there is very little parking; they have less parking than they have rooms, so beware if you are driving. We never had any issues finding a spot, but it's a little quieter in August. Finally, and I hesitate to mention this because we did not say anything to the management, but the HVAC in our room did not work. It wasn't such a big deal because the weather was very temperate and we could leave the balcony door open, but at the same time, there wasn't a screen on the sliding door, so we had some winged visitors. All in all, A-OK is probably the best way to describe the Lifthouse. I don't know if I would stay there again myself, but if someone was looking for a really reasonable room in Vail, I wouldn't hesitate to point them here with a few caveats.

Never have Yelp reviews been so wrong!…read more I love this place so much that I almost don't want to review it. I don't want to spoil a good thing. This is the EXACT type of place I look to stay (but rarely find) on an outdoors-focused vacation: - Minimalist: I don't need anything fancy, just a bed and AC/Heat - CHEAP: no more than $100 is my goal...this place was only $50, that's FIFTY DOLLARS a night! - Walkability: there is a brewery literally 100ft from this motel! - No fuss: you get a code via email (through Air BnB) and you just walk in. There's no counter, there's not people telling you about some crappy free breakfast, no people drawing on hotel maps, no running out to get your license plate number. You just arrive, type in your code, and you're in your room! The room was tiny but efficient, exactly what we were looking for. It was appropriated with beautiful mountain art, and lots of goodies: soft drinks, waters, seltzers, coffee...all free! Seriously, the fridge is stocked like a fancy hotel that charges you $4 if you dare touch the bottled water but...it's all free here! I already can't wait to go back. Somehow, I doubt it will still be $50/night. Great for the thoughtful new business owners (the negative reviews here are old, and when this place was under different management), a little sad for me. I will still happily pay though. We need more places like this to stay in America!

Where to start? From outside, this place looks like the type of place that has hourly-rates. Then,…read morefrom the inside, I was pretty sure it did. We stayed here for the weekend of the Leadville 100 mountain bike race. The only good thing I have to say for this place is that the room was clean when we walked in. Other than that, it was not pleasant. First, there was NEVER an attendant in the office; instead you had to call from a phone outside the office door (because there was no phones in the room). A woman would answer who spoke poor English, but she did get my requests right, though I had to wait for her to respond. The room was very dark, with only an overhead light (no lamps). The furniture looked like it had just been bought from a Goodwill auction. It didn't match and was in pretty poor shape (i.e. falling apart). The bed was hard and the pillows dead flat. Also, the shower barely worked and it was very hard to get it to provide hot water. On top of this place being a horrible, they charged over $100 a night, which is outrageous. I'm sure the rates were jacked up for an event weekend. During a normal visit, I wouldn't spend $20 a night for this room. In the end, at all cost, DO NOT stay here. Do your homework and find any other place in town. This place is a DUMP.

It was a pleasure dealing with their staff, very friendly and gave insightful info/directions on the area since we've never been there before. They also provided us with a list of coupons/discount they have for the area, which we used a few times. The 2 bedroom condo was very nice and clean. Two new flat screen tv's, washer/dryer machine and dishwasher. It snowed quite a bit and the roadways on the property were all plowed and maintained promptly. The hot tub was fairly close to the unit and was empty both times we went. They have transportation to the mountains via Free Shuttle, but the walk to the shuttle stop is a little far so we ended up driving. Will definitely consider staying with them again next time we visit the area!

I couldn't do this without the help of some great resorts that are managed by great people. The past few days, Elkhorn Lodge, hosted several of my ever-picky coworkers for an off site. Each and every person told me how much they liked Elkhorn Lodge - the accommodations and furnishings were top-notch, the hot tubs were roomy and clean, the gym had everything they needed, and even the ski lift was super-close to their condos. I had worked pretty closely with the manager to get the correct A/V and food set up for the conference room, and even that went off perfectly, thanks to my obsessive checking and re-checking. Thanks, Elkhorn Lodge! Maybe some day I'll get a chance to visit, but I am coming without my colleagues or I won't get any peace at all.

This was my first time staying at the Tyra by Wyndham in Breckenridge and I was pleasantly surprised. Wyndham resorts haven't always been my favorite, however, they often offer affordable rates and decent quality places to stay. When visiting any mountain town, if you want somewhere affordable it will certainly be a little bit dated. It is pricey to have property in the mountains, so they seem to be a little behind the times when it comes to decorative updates. This remains true for this location, however, it offers plenty of space and is very accommodating for large parties. Our condo could sleep 10 people comfortably in two rooms (bunk beds provided)! It was also centrally located, and a short walk down Four O'Clock Rd. to get to Main St. where all of the dining and shopping takes place. They offer a shuttle that you can call for door to door service, and are located across the street from the free bus station if you aren't as inclined to walk. Most importantly, the place was clean! Just like a hotel, they made sure the place was fully stalked with toiletries in each bathroom as well as coffee, detergent, etc. The beds were nicely made, and were very comfortable, and there were no signs of past tenants. It made for a thoroughly enjoyable weekend. I would recommend this place for anyone visiting or looking for a nice place to rest your head during a weekend get away. It was easy

I've grilled twice now at Henry's Hut: once last year during a late season blizzard and last…read moreweekend on a 50-degree blindingly sunny day. I'm not sure which was more fun. Last year, the little teepee-like warming hut was packed to the gills with big groups of friends drying off, staying warm and gathered aroung huge carved wooden chairs and tables eating feasts I had a hard time believing people could haul up in a backpack. Sandwiches, fruit, veggies, salads, chips, cookies, brownies, wine, beer, champagne...in fact one table had what looked like an entire full bar with mixers. The big grill outside - in spite of whiteout conditions and freezing cold temps - was full of burgers, brats, buffalo, elk loin, venison, shrimp, veggie skewers, etc. Everyone inside shares condiments, plates, napkins and the like. There's even a microwave. This past Saturday, the hut was empty and everyone was gathered around the grill or sitting in chairs or snow drifts soaking up the sunshine, with beers and wine plopped in the snow to chill. Henry the dog is always there looking for a pat on the head or an extra bite of snausage. The best part is seeing so many people in costume. I think some people make a day of hanging out at the Hut, and don't even ski much. You only have to take two lifts up (Vista Bahn and Mountaintop Express) to get here and you could easily take cat tracks back to the base of the Village, which explains all of the small children wearing butterfly wings who can barely toddle around. Henry's is much easier to access than the grills at Belle's Camp in Blue Sky Basin. You're at the top of three lifts so you can take runs while you leave someone to man your food on the communal grill. The front side of Vail Mountain is tough for an average/timid snowboarder like myself to navigate, full of steep black diamond runs or flat cat tracks, but hanging out with friendly people at Henry's Hut for an hour or two can absolutely make the day worthwhile. We traded swigs of whiskey for chips, pretzels for bites of aged cheese, buns for beers. I was almost able to block out that just a short time after my grillfest, I slid down the iciest part of Riva Ridge on my butt and looked like a fool.
