Hotels near Alien Shack Trailhead

"Our stay was wonderful, the convenience of the lift right outside is awesome! The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The bus to town is a 5 minute walk from the hotel, which is very convenient for dinning in town. It runs every 15 minutes. They do live music in the lobby bar every afternoon. There is a nice gym, with plenty of amenities for multiple people to work out, pool tables and ping pong tables are available for use. Our only complaint was that the indoor hot tubs could be warmer. All and all we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend staying here."

"There is free shuttle from town to ski resort. This hotel is very close to the shuttle stop. The hotel servers delicious cookies every afternoon. Feel so good after whole day ski with those sweets."

"Very nice room! It was easy to check in and when I had questions they always got back to me answering my questions. Love the hot tub and pool!!"

"Rip off. By way of tricky name. The real “lodge” is just called “The Lodge”. The use of “grand” is to make it sound better or at least vaguely comparable to the actual, real Lodge. Apparently the only staff is perhaps an owners daughter forced to work something like 18 hr days. She tried hard but there was no bedding on out beds and here’s the kicker- UTTER FALSE ADVERTISING VERY WELL KNOWN FOR BY A VAIL PROPERTY (remember getting ripped off during Covid for passes now in the thousand plus range where you had to apply in a weird Taylor Swift concert ticket grab kind of scenario just to be able to rightfully ski with your massively expensive ski pass?) so the false advertising is that they sneak around through hotels.com, a somewhat reputable site, and show TWO KING BEDS looking all plush like an AI version, but on arrival you find every unit in what is NOT A HOTEL (in their title, “Hotel and Residences” but a slick timeshare style thing where the “owners” are never there but they hire a mgt company to pawn off nights at their places Airbnb style, with no supplies bedding or any vaguely hotel-like standards, no doorman no concierge and one over worked obviously relative of an owner trying to satisfy a torrent of incoming guests thinking they’re at a hotel. The “fake second kind bed” depicted in hotels.com photos as plush identical beds is a drab, dilapidated MURPHY BED fold-down, which if you’ve ever tried to sleep in one you well know you might as well sleep on drywall.
