Christiania Condos - CoralTree Residence Collection
Christiania Condos - CoralTree Residence Collection"The place was clean, nice, well stocked and check in/out was super easy. One negative if you are renting in the summer -it was very hot and no AC. Having fans going and windows open didnโt help much, just made it very loud. I think the fact itโs above Vendettaโs pizza oven is a contributing factor. Also, since Christiana manages many condos, itโs hard to determine what exactly your condo is like from the listing. But place is great if you are not worried about the heat!"

Top Vail Hotel Reviews
Tivoli Lodge
"This property is incredible. We booked one night, and decided to extend for another and they were easily able to extend our stay. Then we found ourselves back in Vail at a cheaper property that didnโt meet our needs, and they were able to save us and get us into a room at 9:30 am. The staff is fantastic, the amenities are top notch and you canโt beat the prices in vail."
Gravity Haus Vail
"We had a great stay at this unique property. Slope view room was so nice and you could see and hear the river going through town and enjoy natural views. The room is very spacious and well equipped. Our MAJOR disappointment was that we were not told at all about the amazing gym and very full service spa facilities on the lower level. We only learned about them accidentally the evening of our last stay. Upon check in, we were not told about it, nor is there any information in the room. The facilities are amazingโฆsteam, dry sauna, cold plunge, salt room, outdoor spas, huge locker rooms, all the gym fitness classes are included. Very bummed we didnโt know anything about this - but it is a major attraction if you like that kind of experience at your hotel. Most of the staff was super friendly and helpful. Other than the woman who checked us inโฆ :("
