Highline Vail - a DoubleTree by Hilton"Hotel was very run down for a “4 star rating”. The shower sliding door wouldn’t close so it kept sliding open during my shower. The shower products were not refilled and overall it just looked like it needed a good clean and update. The staff weren’t very friendly and no one was at the desk when we arrived. Wouldn’t stay here again."
"The swimming pool was smaller than the actual pool. For the amount of people in the pool it was ridiculous."
