I loved staying at the Patterson. Lovely room/house with the most comfortable bed I've slept in. The entire staff was amazing and so friendly. Walkable area with restaurant and things to do.

I didn't actually get to stay here. The hot water heater was broken and they placed us in a different hotel. The staff was very nice and accommodating. If I ever go back to Vail, I will try to stay at the Sebastian again.

Top Destination
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Restaurants do not display times of service so we missed lunch at the main cafeteria. Had to settle for food at the coffee bar at 2:30. Very disappointing.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Get there early to get tickets/rentals since line can be long. Maybe get rentals end of day before the day you go to ski, if tour trip allows. Not sure if you can do tickets this way as well...call and ask. Bring you own food if you want since there is an area to eat what you brought. Food cost at ski facility will be pricey depending on your wallet.
