Great place even in the summer - room rates are down so a great value. The Condo was on the north side of I-70 so required a drive. There is long term parking (free in the summer) and is essential because there is little parking unless you are staying at a hotel or condo in the city itself.

ski slopes and on mountain facilities are unrivaled; multiple varieties of lifts are good at managing crowds and Epic app. is very helpful; views from almost all areas are spectacular; the 10th at mid-vail is a favorite for lunch; make reservations, request a window table and try the Mediterranean flat bread; village is cute and convenient for foot traffic; free shuttle busses are convenient if you don't feel like walking longer distances; great variety of foods and restaurants from casual to fine dining; loved the prime rib at Lancelots; Red Lion was too noisy for us but looked like a lot of fun for the college age crowd; we stayed at the Lodge at Vail; the location to gondola one is very convenient and the ski valet service is great; we had a deluxe king room and it was a bit disappointing overlooking the hotel entrance and parking area; also experienced problems with the room being consistently too warm and was unsuccessful at trying to remedy it myself; should have complained to staff as they seemed courteous and helpful; staff recommended trying "luxury" level room rather than "deluxe"; all-in-all an excellent ski destination; you will be disappointed with almost all other ski areas after visiting Vail

Everything about it was fantastic.. Beautiful location, great accommodation, friendly helpful staff, everything you could want in a holiday... Bar and restaurant on site but also FREE bus service (15 minute ride) to Vail Town which is lovely, set in fabulous countryside, packed with bars and restaurants for every taste and pocket.

If this is your first trip to Vail> Do not buy your snow gear before you travel, it is heavy and you can hire everything you will need at the well equipped ski shops. with snowmobiling even boots are included with your helmets etc. I found an amazing consignment store in Minturn for excellent quality used outdoor wear at unbelievable prices. (Most are new and have only been used by one week holiday makers who have decided packing is too heavy... Better yet you can also leave it back on consignment.) Most hotels have shuttles to all the ski slopes and town as well as a local shuttle service that works extremely well. Restaurants are small and Coffee shops are few except for starbucks takeaway. My favourite -Try the Reuben sandwich in "Up the Creek" restaurant in Vail Village. Great service and more than enough to fill you.

Easy walking around the town in addition to free buses. Very expensive for shopping. Good variety of restaurants, but limited quick and reasonably priced meals. Mostly friendly staff in stores, even the extremely expensive stores. Be sure to enjoy the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens. Poor tourist/visitor center materials - no convenient maps of the village as you find in many tourist towns. Watch out for bicycles and dogs everywhere - particularly those cyclists that don't obey the get off and walk signs.

Although Vail is very expensive, it's a wonderful spot to spend a week. Plenty to do in the summer -- Vail Music Festival, hiking, shopping, excellent restaurants. Staff is always warm and friendly. Transportation from Lionshead to Vail is very convenient.
