Be going here since the place opened. Was
one of the first to be abused by the pushy
sales staff back in 85'. We have been trading
into this resort for many years.Have always
enjoyed our stay until Our April 2004 winter
expierence, I have got to tell you they have
lost it.
The night manager is a great guy been there
since I first started staying there, he has little
to do about how they operate during the
day. There is an evil woman that calls herself
the Assistant General Manager. To put it
bluntly if you have to deal with here your stay
is ruined, we left Four days early because of
the lack of customer commitment, and poor
room condition.
We checked in and got to our room, the guy
leaves and we attempt to light the fireplace to
find out it is broken. The up stairs sends
down a guy who works on it for 45min and
then shows me how we will have to go
through a special lighting procedure because
the thermal thing won't keep the pilot light
on. Ok I can handle that. Knock, knock,
pizza!, lets see where are the paper towels,
oh no paper towels, ok cleenex ,oh no
cleenex, ok how about TP, oh only 1/4 a roll
on the spinner better leave that, hum how
about towels, washcloths, oh only one set.
So it turns out that this room was not even
ready it needed everything including the
vacuum and from the looks of it had been a
long time. Ok we got everything lets re-light
the fire and go to bed. Oh whats this the fold
out bed does not fold out properly, your feet
are at least 1 foot below your head great if
you like sleeping on a hill. We figured out a
way to to fix the bed to prop it up and make it
level, the maintenance guy helped with that,
but this will need to be done every night
when we go to bed.
The next day our room filled with diesel fumes
form the garage, apparently they are
replacing the carpet on that floor and the glue
smell is so strong that some genius decides to
open the door to the garage, Then the
extremely incompetent assistant general
manager says they have fans in the garage" I
think to my self "so") they were not on and
since the air is cold
even if they were on the air pressure of the
garage is far greater than that of the hall and
rooms thus filling those spaces with its
contents, is carbon monoxide. They did not
care I think we were the only ones on that
renovation floor.
The last day raw sewage starts coming up
from the drain of our hot tub. And I mean this
is nasty stuff. And The Assistant manage
once again finds no problem with it. 20 years
Ive been going there and its been almost 1
year since this incident and it still makes our
family's blood boil. Well lets see my
maintenance fee in Vail was 829.00 year plus
RCI membership at 100.00 year plus the trade
fee of 139.00 and we stayed for 4 days thats
over 1000.00 for the exchange. When I
complained and told her I was going to right
RCI I got the biggest CYA letter you have ever
seen. She still never fixed the problems we
expierenced.
This place is dated with hot tubs that are in
the room with just a couple of jets, the rooms
are dirty, the floors need to be cleaned and
remember if you stay on the bottom floors
that
raw sewage from the upper sewage lines is a
regular experience. So sanitize the tub before
you
use it or you might get real sick from their
negligence. Their respect of this property is
evident in their values for their resales going
very cheap here and even less on eBay. The
pool area is getting run down, their
restaurant menu is good but the chef/cook is
lacking in qualityand ability and their
management in
Particular the Assistant General Managers
style and ability to manage are wrong for this
establishment. The owners are loosing their
power and have put a management group in
that does not serve their interests. Will I
continue to stay there? A resounding NO not
on vacation not for a night I work to hard for
my money I go to enjoy a resort not be part of
their poor operational decisions, my families
health is more important.
