Mountain Thunder Lodge, A Vail Resorts Property

10/10 Excellent
"We visited at the end of the summer in early September so definitely "off" season for skiing, so I cannot speak to the price which was cheap for two nights. I'm sure in the winter that price would be 5 times that. I did like the enclosed garage parking, I can imagine in the winter that is amazing to get your car out of the weather. Having the trash/recycling down there enclosed as well was a great design. The room (1 bedroom) was clean and well laid out. My 12 year old daughter reported that the pull out couch was quite comfortable. Now the small negatives: * The room was right by the pool/hot tub area. There were young kids in the pool SCREAMING until almost 10pm. Perhaps that property could make it adults only after 8pm and enforce it. Both days we had little kids in the hot tubs after 9pm?? * Both days the ran out of coffee in the lobby and we had to ask for more to be made. Small nitpicks but overall the property and it's walkable location was amazing! I would definitely come back to ski!"
