How to Pick a Hotel in Vail
Smartly
By Lizbeth Canton
INFO
Vail is one of the best places to be if you love spending time on the slopes.
In winter, the town is usually overrun by skiers and other enthusiasts who
love playing in the snow and slopes. Summer is also a good time for hiking,
biking, and even whitewater rafting as well as Gold Medal 몭y-몭shing. If all
that sounds like the best kind of fun for you, one of the 몭rst things you’ll
need is book a hotel. Here are smart tips to keep in mind.
Check for Discounts
One thing that often costs a good chunk of your travel funds is your hotel.
However, it’s not as easy as choosing the cheapest option you can 몭nd.
That can lead to poor accommodations that have little security, space, or
acc0ess to0o몭er. One way to sSaHvAeRoEnTtHhIeS ShToOteRl,Ythough, is to takeSatadrvtawnrtiatigneg
of discounts. That brings us to the next point:
Reserve Early
Many hotels in Vail o몭er discounts and promos to attract more guests.
However, these discounts tend to be around months ahead of the trip
dates. If you book only a month or even a few weeks away from the trip,
that could mean bigger room costs and little to no discounts that you can
use. That’s why you should 몭nd and pay for the hotel early.
Choose Easy Access
There are also hotels that o몭er low-cost rooms but they’re far from the
slopes. If you don’t want to waste time on going to and from the mountain,
pick a ski-in, ski-out hotel. That way, you can start skiing as soon as you walk
out the door of the hotel. That also means you and your group can easily
go to the slopes. You won't have to wake up too early in the morning just to
have enough time to get to the slopes early.
Check the Website
If you already have an eye out for a hotel, be sure to check its site. That
should tell you if the hotel o몭ers Wi-Fi access, has an indoor pool, gym, or
any other facility or amenity that you might use. Also, be sure to check if
there are any shops nearby. If you plan to ski, is there a rental shop for
skiing equipment?
Pick the Right Season
Winter is the busiest season in Vail. That’s why you’ll want to be ready for
the crowds if you pick this time of the year to visit. Also, everything is much
more expensive at this time, so prepare your wallet. If you want cost-
savings, you can visit during the summer.
Book Refundable Rates
It would be best if you choose rooms that allow you to cancel your hotel
reservation. Non-refundable rates are often the cheapest. But if something
happens—bad weather, delayed 몭ight, illness—you would save yourself
more money with those rooms than non-refundable options. Some hotels
might only allow you to cancel two days before your trip dates, so be sure
to check how long you have.
