Maroon Bells Basecamp

I went in for a mount on a new pair of skis and asked explicitly for the skis to be detuned while…read morethey were in the shop. I came in the next morning and was told they did not detune the skis despite me explicitly asking on the sheet I was given. I was treated as if I didn't understand what I was talking about as the man helping me told me they "didn't recommend doing that on a new pair of skis" I have skied since I could walk and have had my skis detuned the last 5 years of my life immediately after coming out of the packaging. I paid $77 for the mount and wasn't given half of what I came to do. Will be going anywhere else to get my skis done. I highly recommend Incline, just across the way down the hall from Gorsuch at the base of Aspen.

I found myself in a situation where I rented one of their bear cans and finished Four Pass Loop after hours. Theres no after-hours drop off or contact information. Not cool when you're renting gear and unknown things are bound to happen. Luckily, the bartender in the bar underneath the store was cool enough to return for me the next day, with a $30 dollar tip. What really takes off the star though is the pretentious and "too cool" vibe from the employees. Ain't nobody got time for that. Being kind and understanding is free.

When we arrived the staff took all luggage to each individual room-nice when you have a week's worth of clothes, ski clothes, skis boots and poles and some food. We had a three bedroom unit, the third was a private room. Everything was perfect. The condo was built well and solid. Good sound suppression, stays warm, keeps heat on. We had a sunken living room, kitchen although its was a little small, fireplace, the bedrooms and the full baths. Maid service was daily. There were multiple buses to take and pick you up at all times of the day, never waited more than three minutes to be picked up. Staff were all attentive and professional. Front desk always had two desk people and one guest assistant. They recommended great places to go. Sheets and towels thick and clean, medium softness beds. Never did try the fireplace. Six blocks from Aspen Mountain base. Six minute walk with ski boots or one minute on one of the shuttles. They run every five minutes. Enjoyed one of the three hot tubs. It also had heated towels for during and after the experience. Trick: put you your clothes in there while bathing-nice and warm when you leave. The management also has a ski storage system for overnight so you didn't have to carry then to and from your unit. Would definitely recommend to anyone. I'm already reserved for next year. Note: great powder this year.

Our family recently spent 10 nights at The Gant and paid approximately $16,000 for our stay. Given…read morethe price, we expected a high-quality experience and a level of service that matched the cost. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. After seven nights, we discovered a large bat living underneath the bed in one of the bedrooms. This was obviously disturbing and completely unacceptable for a property of this caliber. We had no choice but to ask to be moved to another unit. The inconvenience didn't end there. We had to pack up all of our belongings, move everything to another room, and then unpack everything again. This took time away from our family vacation and was an unnecessary disruption caused by a problem at the property. What was even more disappointing was the complete lack of meaningful response from management. Despite paying approximately $16,000 for our stay and having to relocate because there was a bat in our bedroom, there was no compensation and no meaningful gesture whatsoever. We were left with the distinct impression that management simply did not care. We understand that unexpected issues can happen at hotels and resorts. What matters is how management handles them. In our case, the response was incredibly disappointing. At this price point, we expected management to take responsibility, acknowledge the seriousness of the situation, and make some effort to compensate us for the disruption. Instead, we received essentially none of that. A bat living under a guest's bed for an extended period is bad enough. Having management show so little concern afterward made the experience considerably worse. For $16,000, we expected far better. The property may be beautiful, but beautiful surroundings do not make up for poor customer service when something goes seriously wrong. Our family vacation should have been memorable for all the right reasons. Unfortunately, discovering a large bat under the bed--and then feeling completely disregarded by management--is what we will remember most.
