Breckenridge was the first place I ever skied out West, and it started a lifelong love of skiing…read moreand the alpine lifestyle. I was just a kid from the Midwest with zero expectations or context, completely out of my element at that altitude, trying to figure out Western skiing and getting spectacularly sunburned in the process. Everyone was cool and welcoming, and my family came away with incredible memories. At the time, I had no idea how special that combination of a huge mountain and a real, lived-in mountain town actually was. Decades later, with a lot more skiing and life experience behind me, I've come to appreciate how organic Breckenridge feels. The historic town, its easygoing energy, and the way it sits naturally alongside the mountain give it a character that can't simply be manufactured. I may have passed through Breckenridge since that first trip, but I haven't returned for a proper stay, and I'd love to come back with my own family someday. It will always be the place where a kid from the Midwest first discovered how much he loved the mountains.

I don't think I'm a ski fan (I tried it and once was more than enough) but still love the beauty I see. We were told that NYE was also crazy busy but didn't realize Valentine weekend would be too. Beautiful nevertheless!

I was in Breck for a work trip and had the option to choose one of several activities, and I picked…read morethe snowcat ride because I had never been on one before and wanted to try something new. Our group ran a little late and I ended up being the only person who showed up, and the staff could not have been more patient or accommodating about it. I was fortunate enough to get what essentially felt like a private ride, which made the whole experience feel very personal. They give you a walkie talkie so they can share updates and explain what you're looking at along the way, which I really appreciated because it made the ride feel intentional and educational rather than just scenic transportation. The snowcat itself is super comfortable and cozy. There are seat belts, thick blankets in the seating area, and the heat kicks on so you are warm the whole time. The cabin has large glass panels on all sides, so you can see the forest, the mountains, and the groomed trails without being exposed to the cold. The ride is very gentle and smooth, and they move at a reasonable pace while being thoughtful about cross country skiers on the trail, stopping when needed to let people pass. I found myself completely mesmerized watching the grooming attachment in front reshape the snow and lay down those perfectly clean parallel ski tracks. We stopped at a historic cabin that had been relocated and rebuilt years ago, and it was cozy inside with a guest book and bits of history to read. I ended up wanting to get back into the snowcat fairly quickly because it was so warm and comfortable in there, and the views from inside were amazing. It was quiet, beautiful, and surprisingly peaceful, and I came away with some great photos on my film camera and a super memorable first snowcat experience.

I had never been on a ski gondola before so this was a cool first for me. We actually drove up to…read morewhere we wanted to go which was the Grand Colorado but the only parking for non hotel guests was 1 parking garage area that was like $50.00. We knew we weren't going to be there very long so that just seemed a little ridiculous for a few hours but even all day. Down below, parking is like $25.00 and the gondola ride up is free so I was all for that and it meant I got to enjoy the views on the ride up. It was an experience for sure and honestly, I would have felt cheated missing that part of being in a ski resort town.

The Breckenridge Gondola (also called the BreckConnect) provides a way for skiers, boarders and…read moretourists to have access to the ski resort from Breckenridge. The gondola takes you to the base of Peak 8 and is free to ride. Each cabin can carry up to eight passengers and goes 7,600 feet in about 10 to 12 minutes. The gondola makes two stops before making its way to Peak 8. If you want to go to the Independence SuperChair lift, the gondola makes a midway stop at Peak 7. Just make sure you have a lift or Epic Pass on you so that you can board the lift. The other stop is at Shock Hill Station and is for residents only. The gondola's main station is located just about a block from Main Street on the North side of town next to the Breckenridge Transportation Center. Even though it is free to ride the gondola, you still have to pay to park. There are also restrooms nearby. We enjoyed our ride up the gondola and the conversations that we were able to make with other skiers. The ride was smooth and you can't beat the views of the Breckenridge Ski Resort mountains. The gondola is open to everyone to ride (including dogs). The gondola isn't just for winter season activities. It is also a great way to visit the Breckenridge Fun Park during the summer season.

Staff were consistently friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The only downside is the TVs, which feel outdated--the picture quality isn't great, and you can only log into one app (Netflix), which also logs you out daily. That said, the location and views are fantastic and really make the stay worthwhile.

Staff were…read moresuper friendly and the resort offered a bus that would take you into downtown Breckenridge and then would come and pick you back up and bring you back to the resort. The resort had activities going for kids every day. I do wish there were more restaurants or at least a coffee shop that was within a quick walk. Breakfast would be more difficult to get if we didn't have a car. Rooms do have a mini fridge, stove, top, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, so you could go to the local grocery store and pick up some amenities to save on cost. It has two different pools that were nice and a couple of hot tubs as well. They do offer on-site Spa treatments, but we didn't take advantage of those this time. Great budget friendly option for your family if staying near Breckenridge.

I will never stay here again…read more We come to breck all the time, had some friends staying here so tried it out. We rented a 3 bedroom apartment. My wife got here at check-in and I had forgotten to put her in reservation. At any other hotel this is easily resolvable, especially hotels that are at this price point. Sean, the manager, made my wife incredibly uncomfortable by being aggressive and dismissive. She called me ans asked if eh would talk to me, he aggressively said "what's his phone miner? Don't ask him!" He then said that she doesn't even have my last name... mind you that's not always the case Sean! My wife had our two toddlers after a long car ride and just needed some compassion and a bit of instruction on how to fix the situation but was instead met with hostility. I showed up around 7pm and Sean immediately became shaking upset when I tried to jsut describe how he could have jsut told my wife or me (on the phone) to call a number and add her. He checked me in and gave me a key, no holder with room number, had to ask, no parking instructions (only one spot), no map of property, no WiFi code... no apology without BS excuses. I regularly get better service at a Courtyard Marriott. If you are looking for somewhere great to stay I reccomend you go to the Grand Colorado or anywhere else in town. Learn to be nicer Sean it goes a long way. Max shouldn't have to apologize for you. Max, you rock!

I stayed at a VRBO unit in this hotel in March 2026. The unit itself was nice. The location of…read morethe hotel at the base of Peak 8 is great. Be aware that the hotel front desk will not assist anyone staying through VRBO and every interaction with Hunter was extremely unpleasant. He was consistently rude and unhelpful. When we asked about parking availability in town, we were given the incorrect information. We ultimately had to find parking on our own and it was significantly closer than what the hotel recommended. When our unit owner contacted the front desk to ask for assistance retrieving our key from the locker, Hunter appeared visibly annoyed he had to help. Additionally, when we asked the front desk to provide a key that we gave to him to our adult children upon their arrival, he refused. The hotel feels dated and tired and the food was inedible. The hot tub was not very hot. While many of these issues might have been overlooked given the great location, the consistently rude and unprofessional from desk made the stay far less enjoyable.

We checked in around 8 pm. Got a very warm welcome from Kyle at check-in and from Graham at Concierge. Parking is easy and convenient. The room was amazing. We've stayed at places from hostels, to rundown roadside motels to five-star resorts and we'd have to say that our stay here was all around great. The restaurant was great for a last minute meal, but didn't have a ton of offerings nor did it have value priced meals. It also closes at 9 pm which isn't ideal if you tend to eat late. The facilities were all great. Had we not bought into the property, we would definitely return again for a quick getaway.

The staff were all very nice. The room smelled bad and had a view of a pile of bricks or something…read moreso we asked if we could just get out of our reservation and leave they offered another room and it was adequate not great but fine however it took an hour for them to find another room for us which is odd considering this is the slowest time of the year. They love dogs at this hotel great choice if you want to bring your dog however I just wanted a room that smells clean. They got me another room which was fine. Reason for the 2 stars instead of 3 is because the check out time at 10AM is a joke considering check in is at 4PM - What is up with these hotels creeping the check out earlier and earlier does anyone remember just a few years ago when it was standard that when you checked in at noon and checked out at noon yes they will let you check out at noon for an extra $50 what a rippoff! And watch out they will try and sell you a time share when you check in...

A personal favorite is, Empire Burger. The Breck staff we encountered were really pleasant.
