Not as good as it has been

We have been loyal to the Sonnenalp for years. And I have to say, was a little disappointed this trip. The front desk gal had attitude, our room was not ready at 4 pm, which is absolutely unacceptable. So yes, our overall stay was fine, but we did not receive the above average service we normally get.

Best Hotel in Vail

Probably the best hotel in Vail. Perfect location, great amenities, great food at Bully Ranch, and their Cafe has huge, delicious croissants - some of the best I’ve ever eaten. We stayed in a Juniper Suite with 2 queens, balcony overlooking the pool and creekside. Bathroom was huge. Everything was just perfect. I would stay here again.
