The Rockies managed by Mountain Resorts is the best deal in Steamboat. Although the Rockies are an older community the units are well maintained. The location is close enough to walk to the lifts but far enough that you don't have the rush in the morning or afternoon. The resort has their own shuttle in the evenings and they have 2 free city bus stops at the Rockies.

Took a last minute package deal with Steamboat Central Reservations out of DFW with direct service to HDN. Only thing different on this trip than our usual set up, was the condo we were put into. The Rockies is a nice, but older unit off of the mountain base area. The front desk area closes early, about 6 PM. The hot tub, pool area worked well. The units were nice, but dated. Myself and one younger child made this trip stay in a loft unit. It was enough for the two of us. I would most likely not stay here again, but not because of the unit of the folsk I met there, but the location was not servicable.
The shuttle service offered by the Condo only runs from 6 PM to 9 PM. The Purple line of the Free bus route stops @ 6 and doesn't make a downtown run itself. If u want to stay out later than 9, a taxi or some other optin needs to be lined up before setting out. If u have your own car, then none of these issues exist.

Perfect family condo.All are individually owned .Well designed layout in cedarwood with individual lockers for skis outside the unit. Managed by mountain resorts .The on site check in reception had closed for the season the day before so we had to check in at the Mountain Resorts Office which was quick with courteous and helpful staff about 400 metres back down the hill. Ample parking .The official check in time is 4pm but we were able to check in early at 1pm .We were in block 2 close to the outdoor pool which was fantastic for the kids .The condo was tastefully furnished and had a fully equipped kitchen.There were supplies of coffee filters dishwasher detergent washing up liquid towels and bedding.Internet access was by high speed cable though some units have wifi.There was a "laundry room" in the basement of each block .The laundry consisted of a single coin operated washer and dryer very dusty but worked well.There was no change machine or detergent dispenser.The condo is on the free shuttle bus service and is the first stop on the purple loop up to the ski resort .The bus runs every 20 minutes up to the mountain .It is possible to stay in the resort without a car as the free bus service also runs down to the mountain shopping area and also into steamboat Springs main city area as some residents did- especially those who had flown directly into Hayden airport from which it is a half hour transfer. It is also possible to walk up to the ski resort though it is about 500 metres uphill .I wouldn't want to do it in skiboots.We rented a seasonal locker at the foot of the gondola at SportsStalker for $15/night -room for family of four skis and boots. The hottubs were very hot ~105F and the pool was warm also.The pool area was protected by a combination code gate.Towels were provided at the pool.The walkways and carpark were kept clear of snow very efficiently.Rooms were serviced twice a week with more frequent towel changes.The condo area could be quite noisy between 4 and 9 with kids playing out around the pool area .Check out time was 10am - we were able to extend this to midday -beyond this would have been $30/hour.There were changing facilities with showers and a lounge with luggage storage at the Mountain Resorts office for those who desired to checkout of their rooms but leave later. Will probably stay here again in the future as we had a fabulous ski vacation

We were in Steamboat for a baseball tourament and we had the best time at this property. Our condo was beautiful and well taken care of. We were traveling with one soon to be teenager and three little ones and there was plenty of room and space for everyone. Thre grounds very well taken care of. The only down side was the availablity of the office staff.
