The Retreat 17

Check in was easy (although parking before check in or early check in was not possible), and the condo was clean and efficient. The interior of the condo was OK - nothing extravagant or special, but it met our needs. Easy walk in ski boots to the lift.

There’s no washer or dryer inside the condo. While the laundry room is in the building, the washer and dryer require coins. Who carries $4-8 quarters? For the money, we felt like each quarter we inserted (after going from store to store to get “change”) represented a 5 year step back in time. Going outside the condo in freezing temps to go to the laundry was a drag. Perhaps we overlooked the absence of an in-unit washer and dryer in the listing, but we were surprised. You have to drive to the hot tub/pool. No one walks a half mile in flip flops and a bathing suit in the snow and ice to a hot tub… and back. While we were there, the hot tub did not work (freezing cold bubbling water), and one of the hot tubs was just a dry hole hole in the concrete. Clearly, the place is in disrepair. Our Family has skied all over the planet and all over Vail, Breckenridge, Keystone, Copper, Mary Jane, etc… Definitely will not stay here again when going to Breck.
