Marriott's StreamSide Douglas at Vail

We had an amazing stay in a one-bedroom loft villa. The pool was warm and welcoming. Comfy beds, spacious room, fast WiFi, solid views. Already planning our next stay as we had such a great time. It’s a 40-minute (brisk) walk to Lionshead or a couple minutes by car to there, vail village, or further to Avon or Edward’s. Highly recommended.

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.

Overall the room is nice. Outdated, but nice. Having no ac was absolutely miserable. The pool was also closed for the week which kind of ruined it for my little one. I am from texas and can withstand the heat, but going out hiking all day and coming back trying to recover, is rough when it doesn’t get less than 80 degrees in the room. We had to sleep on a pullout because they didn’t have any standard rooms available and with a family that is not very easy to do. Just wish they could have been more accommodating. Even a window unit wound have been better than no A/c. The shuttle drivers were very pleasant and prompt. We loved them.

The good- decent rooms, clean and furnished. Staff is very friendly and willing to help for anything they can and in a timely manner. Free frequent shuttle service to vail village and lions head. Great shuttle drivers. The bad- There is NO AC in the rooms, if you come in the summer time please be aware of this. It has been extremely hot and uncomfortable in our rooms the entire stay we’ve been here. They provide box fans but it’s just not enough. It really is pretty miserable. We have a toddler as well so leaving the door open at night is not an option. The pull out couches that turn to a bed are extremely uncomfortable as well. Hard as a rock and there are no toppers available to make it any better. We’ve stayed at other Marriott locations and have never had any issues at all.
