After reading some of the previous reviews, I really had no idea what to expect when we got here December 28. While not brand new, our rooms were clean, everything was in working order, and the staff was wonderful. We had a two room suite w/loft (#417 & #419) The cabriolet lift provides a 2 minute lift to the village/base area, and is steps from the hotel front door. There was never a wait line for that, and its free. It closes at 6:30 pm, but then there is a free shuttle that will take you anywhere. I definitely don't think the premium prices charged by the Zephyr Mountain Lodge and other "slopeside" hotels here would be worth it. I really didnt see any that were actually ski-in ski-out. The mattresses on one of our beds was a bit soft, however all of the bedding in the hotel is in the process of being replaced (going on now). The hot tub was great, seats about 15, and the pool, while heated, was still a bit cool for this Mississippi boy. Food in the restaurant, while limited in scope, was tasty. Most selections are pasta, but there is a mini-burger plate. I think, given some of the other reviews, it should be said that this was a really nice place, and I think one of the best values for the money in Winter Park.
