condo close to base of WinterPark
Review Submitted: January 10, 2010
Date of Stay: January 2010
The unit we rented was spacious, clean and newly decorated. It had an awesome view of the mountain and the resort village. The convenience for the skiiers to ski in and ski out was very much appreciated. They were able to go skiing in the morning, come back for lunch, and then head back out for an afternoon of skiing. The ski locker on the street level was very convenient as well. The kitchen was fully furnished with nice appliances, a large set dishes, pots and pans, glassware, spices, etc., making eating in a convenience as well. Having an icemaker in the refrigerator was a major plus. There were also many amenities provided, such as toilet paper, paper towels, klennex, dish and hand soap, dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent. The description says this unit can sleep 8.......which, in my opinion, is impossible. One bedroom has a king bed, the other a queen and then there is a sleeper sofa in the living room. A maximum of 6 adults can sleep in this unit....and that's even pushing it. This unit has many advantages, but there are a few inconveniences that I believe have just been overlooked by the owner. Dressers in both bedrooms are WAY TOO small to store the amount of clothes one needs to take for a week of skiing. There are no mirrors and no wastebaskets in the bedrooms. Not enough towel racks or hooks to hang wet towels, bathing suits, etc. Though there were 8 sets of bath towels and wash clothes, there was only one hand towel in each bathroom. More handtowels would have been helpful. On a housekeeping note, the unit smells of cigarette smoke. Can't tell if the owner, other renters or housekeeping are smoking in the unit, but the deordorizer in the unit does not cover up the smell. Even the glassware and bed linens smelled of cigarette smoke. Just a side note; the location of this unit is VERY far from the elevator taken from the lobby, but close to a set the stairs that takes 3 flights to get to the unit from the garage.

Owner's Response: We always appreciate feedback and areas that need improvement from our guests.We have now added a small waste basket in each of the bedrooms, and some additional hooks in the bathrooms. I have also instructed our housekeeper to add more hand towels for the future.
The light smoke smell came from the prior guest that had burned some blackeyed peas in a pan, and has now been cleaned.
The unit can sleep up to 8 people, since it also a portable crib for an infant, and a folding bed cushion for the floor for an additional child.
Although the unit is down the hall from the elevator, it is also much quieter then many of the other units, since the elevators can get very loud, especially late at night from guests.
