    I recommend adding a mirror outside the bathroom. It seemed like there was room for it. We were there for a wedding, so having more than one person putting on makeup in the one small bathroom with one mirror was challenging. I'd also recommend putting a lamp between the beds that has plugs or usb ports on it so that electronics can be easily plugged in for recharging. Seems like many hotels do that now. There was a power cord by the toaster, but it would have been helpful to have plugs/ports on the lamp between the beds.

    Beautiful. Very Nice Facility. Nice Cozy room. Loved staying at this end of Vail, where there is a path to walk along the river. Very nice pool/hot tub facilities. I would definitely consider staying here again. Really liked that we had one free parking spot without being required to use a valet.

    I booked a suite with a view, but was placed in the regular hotel room with a view of a parking lot. Front desk staff from Vacasa said booking.com made a mistake and there are no such rooms. I called Booking.com, but they were not helpful. Filed a complaint, but the response came that nothing could have been done better/differently and no refund is due. Disappointed.

    Breakfast would be nice. In point of fact in the entire village after spending five days, never found a decent place to have breakfast. The only two places, Bella and French bistro I think were pretty weak in fact in the end the best coffee and croissant was at Häagen-Dazs.

    Location and facilities, cleanliness, and in particular location were all great

    Location, Space, Value: Lionshead in the place to be.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    The decor in the room and the fixtures were certainly a little tired. The coffee machine did not work (I have the same model at home so unlikely it was user error). The bedding was just average. The TV situation isn't great since the largest wall is taken up by the Murphy bed. But honestly, all of these things were pretty minor and I would certainly stay there again.

    The first and most important thing about Lion Square Lodge is location. It is such an easy walk to the Gondola (Eagle Bahn) or the more important shops in terms of provisioning in Lionshead. Less than 100 yards to each from my room in the North Building (far less from the other building which is adjacent to the Gondola. With this great location comes some important amenities including a ski valet and hot coffee in the lobby every morning. The service is also outstanding. After I moved midweek to a different location, I needed to return to Lions Square for my shuttle pickup. A bellman at Lions Square not only ensured my luggage was safe, he actually drove to pick me up from my other accommodation to meet my shuttle. Much appreciated. Finally, the value was significant. While I stayed in this room as a single, it did have a whole other king size bed (Murphy) and second full batch for additional guests. The space of the suite also would have been fine for more people. Would highly recommend this type of accommodation for families.

    The location is incredible! You can’t beat a ski in/ski out location for a ski trip! The lodge is located a few steps away from the eagle bahn gondola . Love that they have a private shuttle to take you to the vail village. The room we got is a standard room with 2 queen beds- there is no kitchen- just a hotel room with a mini fridge, microwave and a small dining set- which was enough for the two of us eating outside most of the time for this trip. Love the sauna. hot tub could be bigger- it is always crowded in the afternoon/evening. But not a problem if you don’t have problem with a crowded hot tub. Love the cookies in the lobby! Especially the homemade cookies 1x/week in the afternoon. Love the tea & coffee selection. I will definitely come back! Staff is wonderful! Concierge is very knowledgeable of the mountain runs and helped us plan our day. Receptionist are always available and welcoming. The ski valet guy is incredible! Made us feel like VIPs every time we turned our SB in for the day. 5 stars all around! Hot chocolate And cookies in the afternoon after a day of SB is *chef’s kiss*. Housekeeping did an incredible job tidying our Bed/ freshening Up towels for when we got back. Will definitely come back.

    You have to park outside upon arrival and wait until the check-in process is completed and you receive the card to access the parking lot, which is a bit inconvenient.

    The staff were kind and helpful. They helped us communicate with the room manager. The hotel location is just perfect, right next to the Born Free Express and Eagle Barn Gondola. The room is not spacious but okay and comfy for 2 persons.

    The room had a smell probably from the shower curtain liner. Power outlet for the coffee maker far away from the coffee maker. Temperature on hallways too high.

    The room location against the parking lot was to be expected with a last minute booking. Some of the room features did not operate well.

    The overall location is great in Lionshead. The pool and sauna were small but very nice. Staff is friendly and parking was convenient though outdoors.
