Okay - I realize that The Roost is definitely the cheapest place to stay in Vail, and that being said it is a bargain. For the price, I can tolerate the shabbiness and low level grunge. However, the deal breaker for me is a luke warm hot tub after a long day of skiing! Not acceptable, and for that reason... More

The Roost may be the cheapest place to stay when at Vail, Colorado unless you can find a couch to crash on. If not, be prepared for small rooms, soft beds with aging sheets, and no extra blankets through the front desk. And still have to pay over $100/night. The place is one of the older properties in Vail, and... More

If you go in knowing what to expect then the Roost Rules. It makes going to Vail affordable for the middle class. THANK YOU Roost!!! If you want the Ritz than pay for the Ritz...If you can not afford the Ritz than love the Roost and it includes a basic breakfast (lacks protien) and includes FREE parking (very few Free... More

Here is the deal - We got a room for 5 people (we brought a baby bed and our dog, too) and we got 2 double beds. Overall, i was expecting way worse from reading the reviews. It was not that bad, at all! Now, if my baby was still crawling, I would've been more grossed out because the carpet... More

Found this place when I got lost in the area. I was looking for the cheapest motel I could find, and this was it ~ $80. The room was small, hot, and cramped. The TV was old, missing buttons, and the remote didn't work. The shower head was moldly, and the bathroom fan made an earsplitting racket. Breakfast was donuts,... More

We stayed in the larger room with 2 queen beds and a twin bed - quite roomy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the pool and hot top after long hikes and one evening grilled dinner at the picnic table in the back of the hotel. It was our 3rd stay at the Roost Lodge and we'll be... More

In the past I've stayed in Frisco, Silverthorne or Red Cliff and day-tripped to Vail - but that takes time, costs $25 to park in Vail, and the pass can be difficult or closed. So I opted to try the Roost. The location really is good, with frequent free bus service to Vail Village, lifts and such. They were fine... More

I read some of the other reviews and can't believe I stayed at the same place. The rooms were not clean in the least. I counted three cigarette burns and I was in a non-smoking room. There was a thermostat that didn't seem to control anything. The room was super hot but there was not way to control the raditor.... More

The Roost is a rite of passage for most skiers. For some reason it took me longer than most to stay there. I wanted to before they tear it down. No thoughts on when that might be but in Vail they tear down everything and the Roost is the last vestiges of ski bums days. Really the Roost is great... More
