Hotels near Wolf's Lair

"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.

"Fantastic location right next to the lifts Staff were great across the board: valet, spa, ski valet etc. Pool and hot tub are pretty basic though and really the only downside of our stay- time for an upgrade! "

"All of the above!"

"Really friendly staff, cozy vibe, great location"

"We arrived at the check-in time of 4 pm and were told the condo wasn't ready, with no estimate of when it would be ready. Ultimately, we were not able to check in until 7 pm! That was very poor service and unacceptable. Think how ridiculous that is! The description of our unit said that there is no elevator. However, we weren't expecting the unit to be four floors up. Beware that when combined with our three-level condo, the master bedroom was six floors up! We were definitely huffing and puffing. If climbing stairs at altitude is for you, then don't rent this condo. The unit is nice, but has a lot of maintenance issues. There are multiple things that need maintenance. It's clear that the owners/managers are not maintaining the unit properly. I could have tried calling in the list of maintenance items, but I didn't care to have repairmen running around during our visit (should that actually happen!). Most maintenance items are obvious and the owners/managers should be fixing these things in between renters."
