9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,007 reviews)
We recently stayed at The Arrabelle during a special Colorado trip with my elderly parents. The property itself is beautiful, the location in Vail is excellent, and the front desk staff were courteous and genuinely tried to help when we raised our concerns.
Unfortunately, our assigned room did not match the expectations created by the room photos used during booking. While I understand that hotels use representative images and room assignments vary, our room overlooked an enclosed courtyard and neighboring buildings with virtually no view or privacy. It felt much darker and more enclosed than the bright, open rooms shown in the listing.
Another challenge was the unusually high beds. My elderly mother had significant difficulty getting in and out of bed, which made the stay less comfortable for her.
We asked if another room was available, but the hotel was fully booked, so we understand there was little the staff could do at that point.
My biggest suggestion would be for the hotel to provide clearer information about room views or offer room categories based on the view (courtyard, village, mountain, etc.). That would help guests choose the experience they're expecting and avoid disappointment.
The hotel itself is lovely, and the service was polite. I simply wish the room we received had better reflected the experience presented during booking.
