“This hotel is a fantastic addition to Vail lodging. Large rooms, great free breakfast, coffee and hot chocolate free all day, and a nice après ski happy hour. Bar/libby very inviting. They also serve dinner and it was good. Shuttle service was easy and fast. We will be back. ”

“Amazing place to stay! My husband had surgery in Vail and we were there a couple days later after surgery. It was the perfect place everything we needed to feel at home. A stocked kitchen was amazing we could cook and just be comfortable. The staff were amazing and very helpful. With very clean rooms. The staff gave us whatever we needed and was a pleasure stay. The only thing that I would recommend is a discount for hospital patients like some other hotels in vail. Being connected to the hospital is huge especially with the amenities you guys offer. It felt like a little apartment and like at home. People who come out of town for surgery don’t have a choice to stay there. So some kind of benefit would’ve awesome. We definitely will stay here again ”

“We stayed here for the first time with my husband & border collie. We wanted a space to work, ski, and was dog friendly. This met all our expectations! The staff is fantastic and extremely helpful. Yes they don’t clean the rooms every day not many do - just ask they will. The room was modern and cozy. It had all the amenities we needed to cook,, dishes, fridge, microwave, toaster, dishwasher. The desk in the room had enough outlets, lighting and a comfy chair. The bedding was cozy and fresh. Breakfast in the am standard. Dog friendly is an understatement. Everyone was great, we had a sign on the door that said paws inside, they said he could ride the shuttle if the others were ok, hang in lobby as long as not bothering and a sidewalk right outside the door that goes the entire frontage road. We did get to enjoy the 20 person hot tub which was well managed. There is even a roof deck (eagles nest) which had heaters, couches, fireplace and tv. I would give this hotel 5 stars!”

“1. Disappointing this property doesn’t give waters for Embasadors. While other Ressidence Inn locations either like marriott leave two in room or front desk allow you to grab in market inside the lobby. 2. Took 2 nights out of my four get a light bulb fixed. 3. With heat on bedroom section came out warm air while living room vent was lukewarm warm to cool and not same Suite #244. Use laser temp guide. Underground parking with climate control /temp is a plus and shame charge such a rate. Eagles nest was neat.

The free breakfasts, amazing workout room, ski and boot storage areas along with the underground parking are very appreciated. The shuttle drivers are so accommodating-taking passengers to Lions Head and Vail Village every 15 minutes. A special shout out to Christian, the evening shuttle driver who was so helpful during our stay.”

“This property is beautiful but I always feel like you never hear what isn’t working until you arrive. Spending 70k in points a night is a lot for a Residence Inn and then to get there and have no hot tub, no housekeeping, and limited food past breakfast is a bit of false advertisement.”

“Very disappointing stay. The hotel description does not mention that rooms are not cleaned daily. After long ski days, we repeatedly returned late at night to find no clean towels, no toilet paper, and no tissues.
One of the two elevators broke on the second day and was not repaired for a week, according to staff. On the fourth day, the second elevator also broke, forcing us to carry ski equipment up four floors. Although one elevator was later fixed, it broke again on our departure day, and we had to carry five pieces of luggage downstairs with no assistance.
We were also incorrectly charged for two nights of parking ($45 per night) after briefly allowing friends (not staying at the hotel) to park for a few hours.
Rooms are acceptable in size but dirty, and customer service is poor. Not recommended if you expect daily housekeeping, room service, or reliable service overall.”

“Besides the $250 hold this hotel put $1180 on my card as a hold. Hopefully they will come off. Elevator s were down the day we left and had to carry our luggage down 4 floors. Breakfast , not much variety. Waffles only 2 out of the 5 days we stayed. No milk the last day.”

“Excellent stay in Vail. The staff are exceptional. Staying in Marriott more than 110 nights in 2025, I can say this staff is one of the best I've encountered at any level of hotel. Front desk, housekeeping, breakfast staff, and bartender were all courteous and professional. I highly recommend this property if you're heading to Vail.”

“We stayed 6 nights in a studio-style room at the Residence Inn West Vail, CO. The location is excellent, with easy access to Lionshead and Golden Peak ski areas, and the complimentary shuttle service was fantastic for commuting to the ski towns. However, several aspects fell short of Marriott standards. The weekday breakfast menu was repetitive and limited, with no bread for sandwiches, no fruit salad or cut fruit, and only waffles added on weekends. When I asked the manager about rotating the menu, his response was dismissive and unfriendly. Housekeeping was also inconsistent—though the front desk stated refresh service every three nights and full service every four, it was not done until requested. Additionally, the building lacks proper noise insulation, and conversations from adjacent rooms were disruptive at night. While the shuttle and location were strong positives, the overall experience was average due to poor breakfast, service, and housekeeping. ”

“The stay itself was good. The room was beautiful and the people were kind. I’m rating the stay a 1 because the fridge didn’t work and it ruined the food we had put in there. I told front desk and no compensation was offered or anything. Also they charges me 150 for incidentals which is fine because it’s 50 nights a stay and I paid for 3 days of parking 45 per night, fine again however they told me that I would have that come out of my incidentals and they would give back $5, cool that’s fine. But they charged my card an extra $60 and they can’t even tell me for what I called today 9:17 pm mountain time to ask and the lady who helped me couldn’t give me a response. Only would tell me that it’s not a charge because it’s pending and then told me she would transfer me to her manager which sent me to voicemail and he wasn’t even in. I called back yo tell her and she just said “ if we need to give you a refund that he’ll definitely do it” she offered to take my number but how can I trust her”
