The Vintage Hotel

IF I paid a Motel 6 price for this hotel I might give this place more stars. Since I paid north of $ 240 I offer the following: Great exterior, great staff! The rooms are not as nice as what I’d expect at a Motel 6. Windows that leak and have water stains on their wood trim along with wind noise whistling all night. Furniture in the rooms that look like it was purchased at a garage sale with peeling veneer, worn spots and mismatched finishes. The bathroom had peeling wallpaper, corner round trim that has a green hue that could be mold. The bathtub flexes while you shower and water saving shower heads that force one to stay in the shower longer. Finally, stark décor with mismatched picture frames and a noisy fridge. Unimpressive for a seasoned traveler!

The vintage hotel lives up to it’s name. Everything inside is VINTAGE.
From the faded carpet, to the beat up furniture, to the 80’s TVs — vintage, vintage, vintage.
Thankfully, the beds were reasonably comfortable and provided a decent nights sleep.
The hot tub outside was pretty nice, and extra large. It was a nice way to relax after skiing.
There were other minor inconveniences:
— No late checkout offered.
— The bar/​restaurant in the hotel can’t charge to the room.
— The provided shower gel smells like a salad. Seriously, it’s gross. It might be from the 80s.
Overall, if you’re staying here it’s for convenience. You couldn’t beat a short walk to the cabriolet which took you right to the base village.

Amazing customer service, fair price, clean rooms with kitchen and place to store boards/​skis.

We spent 4 nights and loved it! Great people, very helpful! The rooms are spacious, plenty of plug-​ins but could use some end tables on both sides of the bed though. The bed was comfortable, but a bit soft. The hot tub and pool were great. Enjoyed our stay very much!

Decided to give the hotel a shot, as we are from Denver and stay a few weekends in Winter Park every winter. We usually stay at the hotel across U.S. 40 or in the actual city of Winter Park.
Overall, friendly staff and location. The lobby area and outside look modern and refreshed, but once inside the hotel it is extremely old/​dated. The halls have wallpaper peeling.
Our room was directly in front of the hot tub, so have to keep the blinds closed the entire stay. Not ideal when you should have a view of the mountain. Also, you can hear everyone from the hot tub through the walls. Asked to be moved to a different room, but this was not on option according to the front desk (Eric).
I understand many of Winter Park’s hotels can feel dated, but you should get what you pay for. With so many options for hotels and condos on VRBO, no need to pay extra for one so unappealing.

Wow, not sure why so many bad reviews. Really, going to complain about an old tv? I came to spend time with my husband, not watch the news. The rooms are comfy and quaint. We got a standard room, end tables and all. The front desk staff was extremely pleasant. The hot tub was warm, and the jets were strong. Our weekend it was 65 degrees, so very pleasant in the rooms. The windows open so you can get a nice breeze, which is a nice touch. Most hotels you can’t open the windows. Pretty quiet the days we were here. The rooms do need a little updating. Close to the village and you can take the little gondola down, but that does stop at 6. If you are going to be later, drive down especially if it is cold so you don’t get stuck walking back. Wish the restaurant was open, but it seems they close for a few weeks, so missed out, I heard it’s great. They have a great pet fee/​policy so next time we will bring the pups. Will be back again.

On arrival the staff was very helpful, when you get to the room it’s very spacious but no end tables by the bed and almost no plug ins to charge phones or tablets. Room also had no Air but they give you a dirty box fan to make up for it! Décor is like an 80s ski movie, but not nearly as fun. Summer days can get warm in the mountains so get ready for a sauna when you go to bed. And very romantic lighting in the bathroom so ladies bring a flashlight to do you makeup. Bed and sheets where nice but room was over priced for what you get.

Disappointed. I stayed there years ago and now it’s in a big need of updating and it’s not a place for folks with allergies… there are a lot of dogs running around. The TV’s are 15 year old… really??? every hotel now, even the cheap one’s have flat screen TV’s They also will not refund if you have to cancel/​change so make sure you are on your way before you book.

Acceptable, but not outstanding. Whoever heard of a hotel today with no microwave or mini fridge in the rooms. Since the restaurant is not open for breakfast, you have to leave the premises for anything, but in the room coffee.
The beds were way to soft and a little uncomfortable.

Our experience was really bad. The only good news was that Management was responsive.

We booked this hotel in September for our February long weekend as all of the other ski in/​out were booked. The name says it all. I don’t think this hotel has been updated since the 1980s. Though the room was clean and well stocked for the kitchenette in the room, the furniture, carpet and tv needed to be updated about 15 years ago. I mean, come on Winterpark Resorts, you can’t do any updating and painting to the rooms for $ 400/​night!!! The convenience factor is nice as you can take the gondola straight to the village. Plus we were able to bring our dog

This hotel is really average, but the location is great and the value of this hotel is very good. I like the pedestrian lift into the winter park village. My kids like the hot tub.

Cute hotel right by the resort. We found an amazing price on
and decided to stay the night. They had a little gondola ride from the parking lot to town, which the kids loved. The hotel was in off season so the restaurant was closed but there were a lot of places nearby and walking distance.
The front desk guy was very nice, as was the other gal who let us borrow a charger for our phone for the night.
The only bad part were the rooms are insanely hot, there is no air conditioning and we were literally right next to the pool so if we opened our window we heard the 30 kids who were there for some event screaming and yelling until 10pm. Don’t ever get a room by the pool! The front desk were really nice and offered to bring us more fans or switch rooms which we didn’t as the kids finally fell asleep, and as you know you let kids sleep!
If you have a dog (we don’t) you can bring them.

No internet. Dirty carpets. Very hot in the room while it’s 60 outside (no AC, no breeze through the windows). What hotel has NO internet? First and last time…

People who bring dogs to hotels are annoying. The rooms are tacky but I don’t really care about that. The pool looked nice but the the locker room leading to it smelled like a hockey players locker. Oh my god it stinks. The service staff uses the main guest elevator which is stupid because I had to wait with my baby and stroller for maids with huge laundry carts to try to maneuver through the tiny doors. Reaks of cheapness. The cabriolet was broken the first morning and the front desk idiot recommend I take the bus. Ya I want to bring my infant and stroller on a school bus packed with a hundred skiers and their skies. And the tavern downstairs doesn’t serve breakfast. The pros include good close parking, comfortable beds, fun to ride the cabriolet when its working to town, and less expensive than most other ski village hotels. Winter park is a dinky little place, the mountain is average and its always filled with retard ski groups, little grom kids, and people who don’t know how to ski from Texas or wherever. Have patience when visiting this place cause service is not their top priority but you will still pay $ 15,for a burger.

We originally reserved a pet friendly room at the Winter Park Mountain Lodge but they were the rudest hotel employees I’ve ever encountered that I had to cancel my reservation. I then booked a room at The Vintage and I should have booked a room here to begin with! It was great to experience friendly front desk employees. Erica was professional and friendly and even let us check-​in early without us having to ask for early check-​in! She was kind enough to explain where we could walk our dog and pointed us to a nearby trail. Thank you for hiring a friendly staff! We even decided to extend our stay and booked one more night!
The room was better than what we expected. It was a great value for the price with plenty of room and a small kitchen.

My wife and I Stayed at the Vintage Hotel during our ski vacation to Winter Park. The hotel was a 2 minute lift ride to the village. They also built a new snow tubing hill right above the hotel, which made for a fun activity after skiing. We chose to upgrade to a deluxe studio room. I would highly recommend upgrading if you are here for more than a day or two.
The room had a fully stocked kitchen, small round table that seats four comfortably, and a living room area with couch, chair and fireplace. The room had a nice new king sized bed, as well as new carpeting throughout the room. All of this made our stay feel more like a home than a hotel room. Housekeeping did a great job every day, they will put all of you dirty dishes in the dishwasher and run it for you, which is a nice amenity we don’t have at home!
I do have to mention that you should not come here expecting the Ritz Carlton. The hotel is in need of some upgrading. The wallpaper in the room was pretty old and peeling off of the walls, internet seemed to go down often (although it was free, and free internet seems to be harder to come by these days!).
The one big downside was that the hot tub was down all week. They made everyone aware that a part was ordered and they were doing their best to get it up and running. We were offered a small food voucher for the inconvenience which was a kind gesture. There is a pool and sauna there, which we were able to take advantage of several days.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Vintage and would consider staying here again if we take another trip to Winter Park.

Since this was my first time at a ski resort, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the hotel. This place was really nice and just a quick gondola ride away from the main ski slope. Our room had a fridge, oven, microwave, dishwasher and all the utensils, cooking tools and dishes you could need. It would definitely be a nice place to stay for an extended trip. The staff was courteous and very helpful with any information that was needed. We opted for a room that had the bedroom upstairs, we thought it would be fun to have a double level. Unfortunately, the stairs were small and windy. So if you woke up in the middle of the night and needed to use the restroom downstairs, it could get a little dangerous. Our family stayed at a hotel that was a little closer to the main slope. It was nice but a little newer than Vintage. Overall, I was happy with Vintage and would stay there again.

This was a nice place to stay in June, even though you could basically see tumbleweeds go by (AKA, it was a ghost town). Also, the heat was on WAY too high in the hallways — so much so that it affected the temperature of our room. We had to sleep with the sliding glass door open so as not to suffocate. But between having the door/​window open and using the box fan that was in the closet, we managed to make it quite comfortable.
Also, the room was clean and spacious, and the front desk and housekeeping staff members were very friendly. And the hotel is VERY dog friendly, which is great.
You can take the complimentary gondola down to Old Town Winter Park for food, skiing, mountain biking, and other activities. Downtown Winter Park (not to be confused with Old Town — lol) is about 5 miles away, and there’s less expensive food there (and a couple of grocery stores, if you get a room with a kitchenette).
The only other bad thing was that some of the windows have an arched window on top that can’t be covered with anything, so the 5:30 (!!!) sunrise comes and attacks your face (if you’re on the front side of the building). Thankfully my MacGuyver of a fiancé stuffed pillows and a couple of articles of clothing up there so we could sleep to a decent hour. And when we were outside, we could see that we weren’t the only ones who had done that.
I thought the bed was SUPER comfy, and the kitchenette was well stocked with kitchen things. (No oven, though, in case you were wondering.) But the wi-​fi was WHOLLY unreliable, working for LITERALLY 30 seconds at a time (at best). I could load 1 page, then I had to wait 60 seconds to load the next.
Summary: I’ll definitely stay here again if the price is right.
Oh, but P. S. I would recommend bringing your own shower gel, unless you like smelling like Pimp Juice. Theirs is NASTY smelling.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Vintage Hotel. Having stayed at some over-​priced mountain resorts previously, I found this place to be surprisingly cozy and inviting. True to its name, the décor is not overly modern or trendy, but perfectly acceptable after a long day on the slopes. The beds are so comfortable! Probably the most updated part of the hotel. The moment I climbed in, I did not want to leave! The hot tub and pool were also nice, particularly given the fact that it was about 20 degrees outside yet both were relaxing and warm to sit in at night.
This hotel is well-​located and just far enough from the Village of Winter Park to not be directly in it, but a short walk or lift ride away. Parking is free for hotel guests and others, and the Village is easily accessed by the lift (cabriolet) which takes about 2 minutes and drops you into the Village. Busses are also available from the parking lot.
While still expensive in the winter months, this is the cheaper of a few options if you want to stay close to the slopes. Also, the hot cider in the afternoon is a very nice touch to welcome you in after a long day in the snow.
