Vail Management Company... what can I say. I've been to Vail at least once a year for at least the last 10-15 years. I've never had issues like the ones I experianced with the condo I rented. Full disclosure- I sent all of these issues to them before writing this review and gave them an opportunity to make it right with a parital refund and told them I'd share that in my review, but I did not even get a response.
My biggest issue was their false advertising, and their check in/out times. When they advertise "recently renovated", it doesn't mean just the counter top. When they advertise a "Gas Grill", it doesn't mean a 20 year old grill that doesn't light, and when you manually light it (we had to run to the store for a lighter), it has two settings. Space shuttle liftoff, and off.
Below is the issue list I sent to Vail Managment, and never received a response (I know it was a working email, because I had asked them about early check in before, and they responded with a no).
1. Most of the Windows didn't shut all the way unless you went outside and pushed on them. This was ridiculous and unsafe at 3AM when the temperature dropped overnight and they needed to be shut.
2. We found previous guests laundry (dirty socks) on one of the bedroom floors.
3. Some of the drink coasters were broken.
4.The grill was unusable (it was advertised). The igniter did not work. It was beat up beyond belief. There was no lighter in the condo to light it manually. Even going to the store to get a lighter, you had to take apart the entire thing to light it, and then, risk burning yourself. When it did get lit, the temperature was either "extremely high" or off. This could be a lawsuit. The neighbors even commented that the rental company "screwed you guys".
5. No grilling utensils.
6. It was advertised as a full kitchen. It was missing many utensils, including, but not limited to, Ice Cream scoop, wisk, etc.
7. There were burnt out light bulbs around the condo. We actually replaced a couple as it was so dimly lit.
8. The bathrooms were not as clean as even a motel 6. There was still trash in the corners from previous renters.
9. The TVs were unsecure from the wall, and could have easily fallen off the wall. With a small child, this again, could be a lawsuit.
10. The living room lamps were broken, falling apart.
11. The oven light was broken.
12. The main shower door didn't move.
13. Trash bags were not provided... this is a first.
14. Unsecure Wifi. I'm an IT architect- wifi should always have a password on it. I would not allow anyone in my group to connect to this. Again, this was advertised. With it being wide open, this is a major security issue. I could easily access any information sent over your network without much effort.
15. The Check in/Check out times are ridiculous. I've never had times so bad. It doesn't take 6 hours to clean a condo, even with the added covid restrictions.
16. The Carpet is clearly dirty, old, coming up, and needs replacing.
17. Bathrooms have clearly not been updated in at least 10-15 years. read more
