Expensive and exquisite – that is the way several guests described their stay at this upmarket resort. Many clients said the apartments were beautifully furnished, complete with fireplaces, and they would stay here again on future visits to Vail. Others felt the costs were too high and said they would try to find something less expensive the next time they came to this skiing area. Most guests were impressed with the bathrooms, the balconies and the shuttle service. Those who used the spa said that too was expensive and was not up to normal Marriott standards.
