Room was clean, the staff was nice. The pool and hot tub was open in winter. The downside is the floor is very thin, and you can hear every foot step from above.

Great beautiful friendly destination.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Skiing is great but the resort is very subpar for a Vail partner resort. Hopefully things will get better because Kirkwood has enormous potential but ultimately the facilities and atmosphere are a huge let down.

4/5 - Good

Gina

A very enjoyable location.
