Evergreen Lodge at Vail

Close to Lions Head and town shuttle.

Great place

Needs updating

Very near Vail village. Nice walk.

Good location, near bus stop. Large room. Nice pool.

I can see why Evergreen has a solid 4-star rating. My first impression was that it was kind of shabby: the furniture and carpets are worn, and the bathroom looks like it belongs in a highway motel. But, I had an excellent stay. First, the location is great for skiing. It’s only a 10-min walk to the Lionshead Vail Square where you can board the Eagle Bahn gondola and Born Free Lift. (you could also take the free intown bus for 1 stop, which saves you about 5 minutes of walking but could be helpful if your feet/body are sore). The ticket office is there too, plus all of the village shops. Evergreen is considerably cheaper than the other ritzy hotels in Lionshead. The hotel has a terrific staff: everyone was courteous and helpful and friendly. They let me check out a little later because I had injured my wrist on the slopes. Even though it’s not a luxury hotel, it provides everything you need. My room with a king bed was spacious, with a balcony. They include continental breakfast. The mattress was firm and new, and the pillows were plump and cushy, so I had a great sleep. There is an Indian restaurant, a bar/restaurant, equipment rental, ski/board storage, swimming pool, hot tub, and exercise room. They consider the environment, so the bathroom heater is on a timer, and there is a water-filling station in the lobby. The hotel was packed, but it was not noisy at night since everyone is up early to ski.

There were beer bottles and garbage in our room when we got there and the front desk lady was so mean

Friendly staff, great location

Best value in the area

The entire building wrecked like natural gas, and multiple other people staying there said the same thing and that we all talked to the front desk with the front desk didn’t seem to care or do anything about it. Also, the snow removal was ridiculous. There was literally 4 feet of snow in multiple areas in the parking lot making it very difficult to find a spot to park. This was days after the snowstorm.The place needs to be updated badly.
