When arriving at the property and during our stay, we received excellent customer service. Staff were kind and helpful. The property and the room were excellent. The location was really great. They’ll offers and in town free bus system and the property is right in front of the bus stop so this may things very convenient.

Well appointed condo. Very clean, close to dining/shopping, and pretty close to the base. Would definitely stay there again. Having a washer and dryer was great! Covid restrictions in Vail ski resort were awful tho. Very few places to eat, no music, no heated gondolas, RUDE resort and restaurant workers even on Christmas Day...how are u in a bad mood on Christmas?? It’s like they didn’t want you to have fun!! We have always loved Vail, but we won’t be back!

Great place, not sure worth the price
No housekeeping for short stays, initially a concern, adequate supplies for a few days. Anthony Szuminski was a great asset to the property, very professional and helpful.
