Marriott's StreamSide Douglas at Vail

Our condo was very nice and larger than we thought it would be. Staff were nice and very accommodating. The shuttle to downtown Vail was a bonus.

The villa and resort exceeded expectations. The 1BR villa was very spacious and appeared recently refreshed. I had a corner villa with the best view of the mountains. The fire place worked well. Only suggestion is one larger bathroom rather than 2 smaller ones, though occasionally having 2 bathrooms was convenient. Kitchen was fully stocked with more plates and cups I could need for a week. Neighbors cooked a deliciously smelling meal one night. I was tempted to knock on their door and ask if they had room for 2 more. Covered parking was limited in Douglas, especially on the weekend. There was plenty of spaces during mid week. The ski locker was very convenient and made use of it rather then bringing equipment all the way up into the villa. The indoor/outdoor pool and indoor hot tub was a treat. Locker room was immaculate. Outdoor hot tub at the activity center was not open at this time. Douglas building was a short walk to the pool area. Pool table and pool sticks could have used some love. The shuttle to Lionshead and Vail villages was convenient enough. We only drove to Vail Village once because we had just missed the shuttle and parking was free after 3pm on non-peak days. This was very convenient. Westside Cafe is very close to the resort and has excellent food (they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.) Few restaurants deliver to the resort. Safeway is also very close to the resort and is open until 11pm. The resort could benefit from having an onsite market, but by no means a deal breaker. Overall my stay exceeded expectations. I was wary at first knowing it was a smaller resort without onsite restaurants or markets. However everything you need is close by and having shuttle service is key. Free parking, no resort fees and free shuttle makes this resort a winner.
