Incredible location, Lovely Property
You cannot get closer to the gondola loading. That was amazing. But beware, fresh snow comes with storms. Storms come with winds. Winds put the gondola at Heavenly on hold...A LOT. We were there for 6 days and every day the Gondola was on hold, either partially or closed the entire day.
A bit of a bummer for how awesome the location is to that lift. The only options are to go to the California Lodge or Nevada side (Stagecoach/Boulder). Shuttle, Uber or your own car if you have one.
Aside from that logistical annoyance, the location of this property is sweet. A block from the casinos, tons of retail and F&B within a stones throw, and of course Marriott does everything well. The concierge desk was very helpful throughout our stay.
The 2-bedroom was actually two adjoined rooms, one large with full kitchen and living room and the smaller with it's own kitchenette. It's kind of a split floor plan, which was super nice for two single friends - we had our own areas, quiet from the other, and really loved that layout. I don't know if the listing stated that it was two rooms adjoined, but it was a nice surprise.
Pro tip: check the calendar of events and you might find a free, delicious nacho bar at 4pm in the lobby. Score!
