Roost Lodge - Vail 39.63486, -106.41065

After a hard day on the slopes, we were very disappointed with the luke warm outdoor Hot Tub. In another attempt to warm up, we found the shower had no hot water. Uncomfortable beds. Staff was courteous. Breakfast was sufficient. Probably wouldn't stay again.

First room we were assigned to had no plumbing connected. The second room had a shower curtain covered with mold and a TV that didn't work.

After reading the feedback on hotels.com I was a little worried, but I am pleased with the room and the price. I think the bad reviews were written by a few yuppies that need more than a place to crash for the night.

I stayed there on a fly fishing trip, the front desk went above and beyond, the hot tub was great, and the room, small but the beds were comfy and we slept with the indow open because it was great smelling the cool mountain air. You could hear the freeway, but not as bad as people say. I read the reviews before i went, and was pleasently surprised. if you want the ritz, or hilton...go to Vail...but if you want a good room for a great price, stay here.

I would warn anyone away from this motel. Smallest room I have ever stayed in. The bed was extremely old and the mattress was saggy and very uncomfortable. Very poorly insulated, and freeway noise was so bad it was impossible to sleep. The location is the only good thing about this place...very easy access to I-70 and surrounding area.

I went here thinking I could stay at a cheap place and take the bus in to town. Well the bus runs infrequently and I ended up paying $25 a day to park in town. Take the parking money and put it towards a better place. The room was small, but comfortable. They hadn't vaccuumed under the bed (there was popcorn). The front staff was really great and were the best part of the stay.

walking distance to the sand bar where you can get your freak on after hours and stumble back to your room. paid 87 dollars, worth every penny.

Great Location. This is the cheapest place to stay in Vail, on the free bus line. There are plenty of places to stay in Vail which are much nicer, but you will pay for it. If you are just looking for a place to sleep after a long day on the mountain, then this is the place for you.

If you are looking for an inexpensive place to crash after a hard day of skiing in Vail, this is the place. Has the basics in a hotel. Not for a guest that likes to be pampered.

maybe the worst bed I have ever slept in and sounded like a heard of elephants were stayin above us.

I had the worst night's sleep on beds and pillows that badly need updating. It was a business trip and I slept poorly and woke up feeling wrecked.

The hotel was so much less than 1.5 stars. The linen was very old and yellowed. The bed was very old and squeaky. It appeared that the room was furnished from a bad second-hand store. The TV worked well and there were basic cable channels. The hotel appears to be used on a weekly/monthly basis by many guests.

No air conditioning, had notheard of Hotels.com, took 1.5 hours to check in. Complete joke. Dirty, loud, unacceptable.

No ac, opened the window but there was no screen so it let in all the bugs, the tub was full of left over hair from someone else and the shower would not drain, very disappointed

Reasonably priced hotel that is fairly basic. Not fancy, but has what you need for a night's stay.

Not as clean or well-maintained as I expected from a hotel in Vail. The window was open when we arrived at the room. There were no screens. The beds were reasonably comfortable, but the hotel rooms stayed hot unless the window stayed open.

Only stay here if you have no other options. if you look hard enough you can find condo rentals this cheap and they will be much nicer. Our non smoking rooms had burn holes in the bed, on the curtains, etc. The bed was horrible, not what you want after a day of skiing. Don't bother going to breakfast, the pastries, muffins, and powdered creamer were disgusting. Only good things- free parking & shuttle around Vail.

This hotel needs to be replaced with a Ramada, very bad rooms and attitudes from the staff.

After reading the bad reviews of the Roost, I was concerned about my upcoming stay. However, my rate was about half of anything else available in Vail and I only wanted one night. The room was clean, but needed to be updated. The climate control in the room did not seem to work, but the temperature was a steady 75 degrees. You have to drive to the Vail lifts, but do not have to get on the freeway. All in all, not too bad considering the price. Bring your own toiletries.

The location was great-right near a free shuttle to the ski area, but the rooms were dingy and the bathrooms fairly scary! Hot tub was clean though which was a plus. Lumpy beds, but location location location! :)

The only positive thing was the location. I definitely do not recommend this hotel. It was too run down and the beds were very uncomfortable.

I wouldn't bring a girlfriend or wife there, but if you want a cheap place to sleep close to Vail, it is that. Thin walls, shower that didn't drain, but it is right under the highway from vail...

This hotel is showing it's age. However its was clean and convienant to vail. This is a hotel to just sleep in and ski all day.

why pay more all you do is sleep there

I was reluctant to stay here because of the negative reviews that were previously posted. However, I found a completely different set of conditions. Considering the low price, 1.5 star rating, and the upscale location (in Vail,not 30 miles away) I was very, very happy with the price, room, and hotel. The room was clean, the bathroom was recently remodeled, the bed was fine, plenty of heat and hot water. The free breakfast was adequate. Good coffee. Everyhing was fine and we had a GREAT skiing vacation at a moderate price! Highly recommend to those that can get by without the high cost condo.

The hotel once again was very satisfactory. Saddly Hotel.com did not send the info to the Roost of my arrival, Juan the manager was very accomadating with an upgrade (due to the time lossed while awaiting the info from Hotel.com). The Roost is very close to all transportation as well as many restaraunts and entertainment, and grocery stores. I would truly reccomend The Roost Lodge to anyone that is visiting Vail, Colorado. 5 Stars :)

We wanted a cheep hotel near Vail, which this was. Put we were unaware that there would be no table and no chairs. There was not a mini-fridge; there was no microwave. The only ice machine is lock in the lobby, which was often closed during posted office hours.

Hotel room was on an average 80 degree's or higher. Complained to hotel, but they cannot control the heat in individual rooms. Would not dare sleep under the covers, found black hairs through-out bed. management was rude and refuse to comp one day after all the problems. Lastly we had a grwing wet spot under our sink, which found it's way out into the room. I would never stay here again and tell everyone not as well.

The Roost Lodge was rather expensive for the lack of quality. Our room window did not have a lock, and the hot tub and surrounding area were not clean. As well, it was hard to find a comfortable temperature for the room.

As far as location is concerned, for the money it is a decent hotel only about a mile from Vail. Quality is a concern for me since the price was steep for the service and state of the facilities. Apparently the price I paid was quite discounted as well so that is kind of scary. Must have been a slow season for them, but anyway, if you aren't expecting much and just want to ski/board and not worry about accommodations being stellar, this is the place.

On a monday morning, at 9 am, no hot water!! Even if it did work the water pressure was none more than a heavy drip. Think of one of those temperpedic mattress commercials... now think of the exact opposite of everything they just said and you have the roost's mattress'. This was the most uncomfortable thing I have laid on since my college roommate got a free mattress from the guy next door. Sure you were cheap, but god were you painful. But I feel I do need to say that you do have everyone beat on the price for a night in Vail, so you got that going for you, but THAT is it!

Bargain for price. But it is not a 'lovely' hotel. Satisfactory for our needs.

We went down where the free breakfast was supposed to be and there was no one there. The breakfast was supposed to start at 7:30, which i think is a little late, but when we got down there not a sole was serving. We went to a cafe instead. So the Roost ended up being MORE expensive than we anticipated.... Breakfast NOT included during our stay. Tisk, tisk.

Many of the reviews were negative so I just had to try. Front desk was fine, room clean and tidy for an independent. Worked well for the price in Vail.

Cheap for Vail. Good location with bus lines nearby. Don't stay here for luxury, stay here to sleep and be near Vail.

Outstanding value considering the affluent Vail area. Very close to Vail proper at prices that are less than half of other local hotels and in most cases a third of local hotel cost. The Roost is a "sleeping room" motel...it is sparse but clean and adequate for a single or couple on a budget....The Roost has rules and does not bend them for anyone: no one gets a room before 4 PM for example. I'll stay there again when going to Vail.

I wouldn't have stayed at this place had it not been so cheap. If you are looking for an adequate place for a cheap price at Vail, this is it. There was no other reason to have this hotel/motel...

You get what yoi pay for...and not even close in this case. They do not plow the parking lot when it snows. We had to buy our own shovel to get in and out of the lot. The staff just watching from a window as we were stuck for 45 minutes. Rooms are horrible and leaks. Staff is rude. Srvice is non existent.
