Fun location, staff was very friendly. The room was clean but outdated. The room was too hot for us and there was no air conditioning available. The lamp next to the bed

Rooms was large, staff were very helpful. I was pretty disappointed that they advertised a full spa, onsen, and large hot tub as part of the hotel amenities and none of those were operational.

Great beautiful friendly destination.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Skiing is great but the resort is very subpar for a Vail partner resort. Hopefully things will get better because Kirkwood has enormous potential but ultimately the facilities and atmosphere are a huge let down.

4/5 - Good
