“Have Been Staying Here for Years”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I've been negligent in writing a review of one of our favorite places to spend time in Colorado. We've been staying at the Sitzmark since 1999, and enjoy the small
European family hotel atmosphere rather than the lavish hotels and condos. The creek view is our favorite, and we have enjoyed many hours in the sumer of sitting on the balcony watching the children and dogs play in the creek. A number of excellent restaurants are within a fine-minute or less walk. Most of our visits have been in the summer or fall, but we've also been there during ski season, and it's lovely then, as well. The staff is helpful and friendly, and on the very few occasions we have had maintenance concerns, they have been responsive immediately. The rooms are clean and spacious and very comfortable, especially for the price. If you prefer glitzier accommodations, they abound in the area and have exhorbitant prices, but we love this family-friendly corner of Vail Village.

Room Tip: Fall asleep to the sound of the tumbling water with your door open on the creekside

“Better Places to Stay Than Here”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011

This place is in a great location but it badly needs an update. My room was clean but looked like something from the fifties. You do not feel like spending any time in your room. TV may be older than I am. That said, the bed was very comfortable. They offer free underground parking, but it seems like something you would find in a bad part of Moscow. Roof is so low that my antenna was scraping along which was a first for me. Better places to stay in Vail than here.

Thank you for your feedback. The Sitzmark has been a family-owned and operated establishment for 37 years and value our relationship with our guests taking their feedback to heart. It appears that you may have had some unfortunate timing in your stay in relation to our guest rooms. We are in the process this fall in updating the very features in the guest rooms that you have pointed out. We have created a new, well-appointed look for our rooms that we are very excited about. The new décor includes granite counter tops for the wet bar, a painted accent wall, and smoothed ceilings. New lighting, flat-screen televisions and furnishings with elegant enhancements and updated amenities complete the remodel that we feel will enhance your guest experience. The guest room photos on this site will be updated to showcase the remodel. We hope you can return to our property to enjoy the new updates.

“A small European style lodge in a great location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

The Sitzmark has been a family owned Vail landmark since the town was founded, but it doesn't rest on its laurels. My room was nicely updated, extremely comfortable, and the bed was fantastic. The staff was super-friendly and helpful in every way. Others have commented on the creek view. I was on the other side, overlooking the village street and mountain but didn't feel short-changed at all.

Room Tip: If you depend in hotel-provided wireless internet, don't stay in the 3rd floor.

“Great Hotel in Vail”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

Great find in Vail. Spacious and quiet room overlooking Gore Creek, right in the middle of Vail Village. Staff were great, and was one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on in a hotel for a long time. My only small complaint is that the internet service on the 3rd floor was very slow, seemed find down in the lobby. Hope to come back!!!

Room Tip: As for room facing the creek.

“What a perfect local!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2011

Walk out front-the town with shops and dining. Walk on your balcony, over look an alpine stream! Free Coffee, tea, expresso, hot chocolate and cider! Spacious room and the most pleasant and helpful staff! Beware of Vail in off season- a bit hard to find places to eat and shop. But if the sounds of rushing water and a cozy fire are your thing, just bring your own dinner!
