The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. The hot tub/pool was a treat after a day on the slopes. Another plus is as they say "location, location, location"

Location is phenomenal. Very short walk to gondola with hotel ski storage room with warmers. Quaint Bavarian style ambiance. Wonderful history, 3rd hotel built in Vail. Easy parking and daily room service. Loved the friendly staff.

We love the ski in ski out option, closeness to slopes and the pool/hot tub facing the slopes. Auch a unique austrian looking property. Comfortable and plenty of space. One downside this year to our stay 4 years ago was no breakfast service, unless you paid for it. 4 years ago it was included and plentiful.

Everything you may need for a great ski vacation. Location is awesome, our room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfy with a great view. Solid wood, handcarved furniture throughout and a true Swiss Chalet vibe. Heated pool and tub offer apres ski fun. Appreciated the protein bars that were out for grabs. Wish there was a microwave in the breakfast area that guests could use as well as a gym. All in all, I feel we got great bang for our bucks.

The location is excellent. It's right next to Gondola One. The heating in the room broke and the room was freezing cold. The bathroom made a loud whining noise a few times every night. The room was next to the street so you'll hear people late at night. The water temperature in the shower jumps up and down so you will freeze or burn yourself. To access the outdoor car park you must first walk inside to get a special key which is a bit inconvenient. Also you're not guaranteed a parking spot which is ridiculous if you're paying extra for it. The room is old and shabby but it's cozy.

Expedia messed up our reservation and the front desk clerk was amazing! He handled the error with grace and compensated us in a very fair way. AAA for Customer care, helpfulness, and kindness. We had two rooms. One of our rooms did not have a working TV nor could we access the internet as the guest network did not appear. The beds were comfortable and the shower was refreshing!

Christiana Lodge at Vail is very conveniently located in the heart of Vail Village but is still very quiet and backs up to a rushing creek. They have a great outdoor pool that is heated and open year-around. My only disappointment was that they have discontinued their nice continental breakfast in their attractive dining room and now you have to get dressed and go down the street for breakfast.

Not kid/family safe
The hotel is older and has unique character, which we like. BUT, it was not clean or safe. I had to pull splinters out of my babies foot and my young daughter's foot because the wood deck has not been maintained. The heater has exposed wires and sharp pieces that my baby could reach. There was no toilet paper at all in the bathroom, i had to go get some at the front desk. We found a women's vibrator on the nightstand. 3 windows and the screen door were broken, faucet leaks, bathtub doesn't drain well. I would expect for the price to feel safe for my entire family from getting hurt, but unfortunately the owners have not reinvested any finances to make it a place i would stay again.
