Great service!!!

We chose vail spa condo's after much debate on whether we should stay in Breckenridge or Vail. We chose vail in the end - and chose vail spa as our place to stay. We stayed in unit 526 which is a 2 floor, 3 bedroom condo. We are a family of 5 (kids 5, 8, 10) and the layout was perfect. The decor was excellent - and nicely updated and appointed throughout.

The staff were kind and friendly. The wireless didn't work well at all. I ended up buying the local access and the staff credited me that cost.

A warning - the place got HOT. Yes we were having hotter days - but the sun runs into the room all day (a good thing!!!!!) just make sure there are some box fans there.

Another warning - there is a LOT of road noise. This place of most gets the road noise all day and night. Oddly enough, the fans on all night blocked out the road noise.

I used the fitness center - and it was GREAT. There is an indoor and outdoor pool. Good for those times where there is a threat of lightning or rain.

We used the gondola quite a bit - and My 10 year old and I rented mountain bikes and came down the mountain several times.

Three of us were in Vail for a conference at the Marriott. The Marriott was sold out so we looked for something within walking distance. The accommodations we had at the Vail Spa ended up better than if we had stayed in the Marriott for much less. The three bedroom unit we had (#315) worked out perfect for us, separate spaces for all of us and was modern, clean and very comfortable.

We didn't check out many of the hotel amenities as we didn't have time but the walk to the conference at the Marriott was easier than we had stayed at the Marriott. Local transportation stops right at the front door so getting anywhere in Vail is very easy. This will be our first option if we have another conference or if we just want to get away for a few days in the Vail area.

This review is for room 101. Each of the units are different at The Vail Spa.

Pros:
Great location right next to the bus stop.
Very friendly staff who was very helpful when asked.
LARGE condo with patio, grill and flat screed TV (no HD).
Updated kitchen.
Updated bathrooms.

Cons:
VERY dated decor.
King bed was two twins pushed together
Lower quality linens
Unit right next to the lobby, so I would imagine on a busy day, it could be noisy
