Sheraton Steamboat Resort

Beds are comfy, hotel has everything I could want, including being right next to the gondola to both head out to get first tracks of the day but also at the end of the day when your dogs have stopped barking and are just in a puddle whimpering because of the punishment you just put them through, you have the shortest walk possible back to your room where you can strip off your ski gear, put on a swimsuit and provided robe and walk down the the rooftop hot tubs with some water or other beverage (in a non-​glass container) to sooth your bones and muscles… Then rinse, repeat the next day!
And yes, that was a long run on sentence but it conveys the emotion and thought process of staying here and enjoying your time.
I had to knock off a star because you have to pay for wifi, it’s a personal pet peeve that all the expensive hotels make pay for wifi but the cheap places always (usually) include it for free.

The Sheraton Steamboat Resort Villas is an amazing place to stay. As a platinum guest, I was able to book the 2 bedroom villa in the villas tower on an SPG Free Night. Usually, this runs at $ 899 a night! They gave me the highest floor and a nice view of the ski resort. It gave me one of those really good life feelings. Décor was modern, it had a kitchen, two king beds, a laundromat, and even two decks to walk out on. Absolutely beautiful. Would definitely come back. Only thing is the steamboat ski area right outside the resort is so darn expensive. Go check out the howelsen ski area and rent from one stop if you decide to ski out here.
Here’s a YouTube video as well:

I stayed here for part of my honeymoon a few months ago.
The Good:
*Great location
*Nice rooms with balcony overlooking the pool and hot tubs
*Free s’mores at night (can’t eat the graham crackers but can eat the marshmallows (thankfully!))
*Really nice staff
The Bad:
*I have Celiac and can’t have gluten at all. As obnoxious as this is, I talked about it pretty extensively with the restaurant on site. One of the waitresses was also gluten-​free, so I felt pretty comfortable. But, then! We were the only ones in the restaurant and I ordered a gluten-​free pizza. It wasn’t good, but that’s normal for gluten-​free pizza so I didn’t think much about it. After eating more than half of it (don’t judge, gluten-​free pizzas are also usually pretty small), I was told they accidentally served me a regular pizza. Ugh.
The Good Again:
*They were SO apologetic and went above and beyond to fix it. I don’t want to get into the details because I don’t want anyone to pretend something like this happened just to take advantage, but suffice it to say, they really did go above and beyond and seemed to be genuinely concerned about my well-​being.
The Bad Again:
*How did this happen, on my HONEYMOON? In 3 years, this was the first time it happened to me!
If it weren’t for the gluten experience, I’d give them 4.5 stars. If the gluten experience had been handled poorly, I’d have given them 1 star.

The front desk employee that helped me the most was from Scottsdale, AZ, or somewhere in that vicinity in the Grand Canyon State. Note is made of this detail so that management can promote the youthful lad at once (ahead of peers).
Sheraton Steamboat Resort (SSR) enjoys the hegemony of the perfect location in the ski town of Steamboat (SS). The lift is right there. Water right there. Village is the enveloping area in which SSR is a part. (Location cannot be beat.)
There is valet parking for those that are into that. There is garage self-​parking structure for those that would chose it. One needs a room key to access it; cue the first instance of the Scottsdale native doing me a solid on faithful trust alone upon arrival at 5 A.M. I needed to get in there, yet naturally had no key. Moreover, I didn’t have a reservation confirmed either and it was a pretty solidly booked week. (We dealt with that later.)
I asked him a barrage of questions about the area at that early morning hour and he listened attentively. He looked so alive. When he was unsure of the answer or outright knew that he had no clue: he would bring in a colleague that had lived there for longer than him. This is the type of humility in helpfulness that sets professionals apart in the field of hospitality.

Rating: Four-​stars, «Yay! I’m a fan.»

Patrick at the front desk was great. He went above and beyond the call of duty, even getting us a bar of chocolate when everything else was closed. Highly reccomended!

The room is fine, you have to search for a valet, and after being gone all day we came back at 2:00 to find the room unclean. After two less than pleasant phone calls a housekeeper was sent.

Love this location! Stayed here a number of times, all in the Villas … amazing! Love the roof top hot tubs and the views too! The beds are comfy and relaxing … the condos are always clean and well appointed.
The kids loved the game room in the morning. Wish the pool is heated and a great temperature Location, Location, Location … if you are a skier, this CANNOT be beat for amenities and location overall I would (& will) absolutely stay here again.
Staff is great and will make a trip to your room for the smallest detail. I called for some small things and tried to say not to hurry or rush and even to bring it when it was convenient and within minutes they made a special trip.
Love staying here! Cant say enough good things about it … oh and if you are a skier … they have a complimentary ski check about 20 ft from the snow’s edge … doesn’t get any more convenient anywhere else …

Nice hotel with lots of stuff to do. Friendly staff, nice rooms. However, the beds are absolutely terrible. Like sleeping on concrete slab. I haven’t slept worth a darn for two nights and will be glad when I check out tomorrow.

This hotel was very nice. Pet friendly. No pet fee. No parking fee. The room was flawless. Would have given them a 5, except I was checked-​in by a low-​energy, woah is me at the counter. Maybe he was having a bad day.

My teenager son and I just return tonight from 6 days at Sheraton Steamboat, we had a great experience. We were upgraded to a pretty mountain view suite with a balcony overlooking the slopes. The hotel could not have a better location, it makes a big difference to have a rental shop within the premises, it means no queues and no stressing, plus the gondola is a 5 steps away. But what made our stay special was the excellent staff of the hotel.
We were impressed by the kindness and professional attitude at the front desk, the room and the all hotel is spotless clean, and everybody was friendly, helpful and easy going. Great shuttle service.
We will certainly return.

Stayed here over the weekend. Wonderful location. Staff was nice and the food served in the restaurant was delicious. The patios off the rooms serves for some great people watching. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean. Also, they have a free shuttle service that runs every 30 min. and takes you downtown. It was always on time when we used it and the drivers were very pleasant.

Yes, the location is awesome, however, the rooms are disgusting and gloomy, and I had a very expensive coat attempted to have been stolen by an employee. I was having a box full of items shipped back to my home from the hotel, which I left in the care of the hotel. Once the package arrived to my home it was missing my brand new $ 1500 coat. I contacted the hotel to let them know that the coat had been taken, and they told me they actually found it! They found it stashed in an office somewhere, and THEN had the nerve to charge me to ship it to my home. Once I saw that they charged me for that I called management at the hotel, and they said they would check into it for me and contact me. It’s been 2 days and I haven’t received any follow up calls or emails. Oh, and they also tried to tell me that my coat wasn’t stolen but that it had somehow made its way out of my shipping box and into an office in the building. I had everything secure in that box, so nothing would have just fallen out. It would have had to been taken out by someone. This is just the Sheraton’s way of covering it up!
I would never stay at a 3^rd rate hotel again, and in fact, if there’s not a Ritz, Four Seasons, or some other 5 star hotel in town I won’t be going to that town. This is what you get when you stay at cheap hotels… unprofessionalism!

The reason for a 5 start raining is simple. Great location and a super experience at the hotel. Our stay could not have been much better.
First, Awesome location. Just steps out the door is the Steamboat Gondola. Even in ski boots, it is a short walk. This hotel is the place to stay if you really want to ski in and ski out. There are some condos that are ski in/​out, but to go out you will have to ski a short distance to the gondola, if your condo is downhill.
The hotels shuttle service begins at noon (in season) and is ever half hour. It ran on time for our entire visit. It will take you wherever in town. Then, you call to be picked up. Even though we had a car, we used the shuttle. It was easy as could be. (The parking garage is under the hotel.)
Second, the staff and room were great. They put us on the Starwood floor – we are members. There is no true club level, but we were on the top floor of the hotel which is nice. The room was small, but well done. There are built-​in cubes to store boots, helmets and other ski paraphernalia. There is the ubiquitous coffee maker and a small fridge.
A big sliding glass doors that leads to a small balcony, which is useless in 9 degree weather. But the wide open view is nice. By the door are hooks to hang ski parkas and pants.
The shower was plenty hot, and it’s Speakman shower head had unusually high pressure for a hotel. The commode and shower are behind a door, with the sink on the other side.
The wait for the elevators was not long, but not quick either. Its a big, busy place at peak times. There are hot tubs on the 2^nd floor, and another with a pool in the 1^st – all super hot and outside. The room had a terry cloth robe and a thin pima cotton robe, perfect to use for a dip after a fun day on the slopes.
The main floor also has two nice restaurants, one a bar type place with TV’s, the other fancy. There is a game room with a pool table, foosball and shuffleboard, as well as a business center. There are plenty of couches and places to sit.
On our floor, the 8^th, there are chairs and a couch near the elevators, which can be useful if someone in your room is sleeping and you want to read.
The basement is dedicated to skiing. Elevators and two staircases take you down, and there is a huge ski shop, and equipment rental, run by the resort (Steamboat Springs). Hotel guests can check their skis right by the exit door to the ski area: from there is the aforementioned walk to the gondola.
My complaints are short: the hotel needs to get rid of the small gym on the basement level and put in more amenities for hotel skiers. (who is working out at a ski area? – EXERCISE OUTSIDE!) There is no real place to change clothes or sit on this level. The public bathrooms are about ¼ the size needed. (The mens room has just two urinals and two stalls.)
There are some benches and rental lockers, but this is in a hallway that is very busy.
As a guest, you are staying just a short elevator ride up and this is all just a minor issue. But having a better facility, more like a ski lodge in this area would be a real plus.
You pay a $ 20 a day resort fee for this location which covers wi-​fi, parking, ski check and other amenities.
The Sheraton staff was very friendly, and we had no issues or complaints with anyone. I saw some complaints here on Unilocal,but take it from a Starwood Gold, Elite Unilocal-​er, this is a great hotel, a big value considering what other ski-​in, out resorts can cost, and an excellent experience for skiing families. I am sure we will be back.

Wonderful service in a top notch resort right in the middle of it all
Quick easy and friendly check-​in before heading up to our top floor room that we called home for the duration of our journey
Staff are always professional, courteous and attentive to the smallest detail
Most comfortable beds in Steamboat, cleanest most modern rooms, warmest hot tubs for the coolest nights
Bring your furry four legged canine companions as the are welcome here and all over town
Fantastic views from the balcony of our very large and comfortable room
Walking distance to some of Steamboats best restaurants including Truffle Pig and Café Diva-​both must do’s
Always return, frequent and often
There’s not a better place to stay in Steamboat Springs

Firstly, the Sheraton Steamboat is in a stellar location… located at the base of the ski hill, right next to the ski lifts and gondola — a prime location, as locations go in Steamboat. There is a stage area and lovely park/​stream located behind the property. It is a lovely area to enjoy the scenic views of the mountain. Everything was also walking distance. We came up for the Oktoberwest weekend and as you can imagine, it was packed. Staff were fantastic, they were very helpful, hospitable and eager to help. They are also super dog friendly. I brought my small gang of dogs, and they were super welcoming to them. Parking is «free» (although absorbed into the resort fee of 20/​night) — and located directly under the property, really simple to get to and from the car via the elevators. I really enjoyed my stay here: the showers are fantastic, the pressure was just right, all the rooms are newly renovated, they all had a pleasant fresh smell about them and the sheets and towels were all fresh. I also left my credit card in the room and left town, they are mailing back the card to me ! Super great service. When I come back for ski season, this will definitely be the top property on my list of places to stay.

We had a great room, staff was terrific and the hot tub was not crowded, clean and hot. We will stay here again.

We had a really incredible experience here. Came in the off season and received an upgrade for being an SPG Gold member. Had really awesome service while we were there (thanks Kevin! We appreciate you!) and a lovely stay. The rooms were spacious and awesome. We had a kitchen and it was perfectly clean and functional. We will definitely be back for another visit.
It was perfectly situated for the winter for access to the mountain and in the off season, a short drive downtown. The only thing i wish I knew… we could have brought our dog! :)
All in all a perfect mini vacation/​staycation.

Massages were great.
The 3 HOUR mani– pedi was the worst ever. The gel nails were bubbly and separated from the nail bed. The man who attempted these services talked non stop for 3 hours.
Heidi, the manager was rude to the family member (and resident of steamboat springs) who uses the spa and refers a lot of business to

We were passing through Steamboat and spent one night here. We were taking the long way back to Los Angeles after spending a few days in Jackson, WY. I wasn’t expecting much. But, I liked what I got! This is a very nice Sheraton located right next to a ski area. Very convenient chair lift right outside the hotel, if it was winter.
The hotel staff was great. We were greeted by the bellman and the front desk clerks. Check in was very smooth. No problems at all. After checking in, it was time for the wife and daughter to check out the hotel room.
The room was nice on the upper floor. They gave us a nice room with a mountain view on the SPG floor. Everything in the room worked perfectly. The room appeared to be recently renovated. My wife had concerns about this hotel after she had read that it was old and tired. But, those fears disappeared quickly.
They are currently renovating their hotel. Because summer is the slow season, it appears that they are doing floor by floor. They keep you off the floors that are under construction. You do get to see some of the construction workers as they use the elevators to get to the floors that they are working on. But most of the construction is hidden. The dust from the construction is nonexistent.
There is a nice game room downstairs that we discovered right before we were leaving with a pool table and shuffleboard. Very nice for the kids and the kid in you.
Parking and Internet is part of the «resort fee» of $ 20.
Great hotel! I wish we stayed more than one night. I wish we stayed in winter!

Everyone I encountered at the Sheraton Steamboat Resort was friendly, helpful and cheerful. Even the maids offered service with a smile. It must be the altitude, right? Seriously, if all it takes to be this happy is to ski three times a week, sign me up. You could tell that the employees love this mountain and love this resort.
«Saddles,» the bar/​restaurant was overpriced, but for a hotel, what do you expect? $ 12 for a cobb salad is acceptable, $ 13 for a cup of chili and half a grilled cheese is not. On Super Bowl Sunday, select apps were ½ price and Coors Lights were $ 2.50. Now that’s what I’m talkin’ bout!
The outdoor spa pools are lovely, and it was great to unwind after a long day on the slopes with a beer on the patio. The firepits were scenic for sure.
The location is incredible. When they said ski on/​ski off, I didn’t realize the gondola would be a 60 second walk from Saddles’ door.
The $ 20 «resort fee» was absolutely worth it. Free water bottles in the hotel room, free parking, free shuttle to and from downtown (they pick you up on demand!), free wifi in the room.
Tip: Go «green» and deny new sheets, get 500 SPG points/​night.
Oh, and Kay V? I fucking LOVE the sheraton scent. Smells like heaven.
