The Galatyn Lodge was simply the best place I have stayed at during a ski trip. The place is clean, very organized, and the location is perfect.
It is almost ski-in/ski-out (within one block). Also, there is a bus stop right in front of the Lodge that runs every 3min and is one stop away from Golden Peak (if you don't want to walk that one block).
The amenities are perfect. Ski lockers are in the lobby (so no walking up/down stairs), very clean and organized, and stocked daily with snacks, hand warmers, chapsticks, and sun screens.
Finally, the service and staff are outstanding. On the 2nd night of our stay we had a leak in the bathroom. Within 10min of alerting the manager to the problem, he showed up with new sets of keys to another room and helped us relocate.
I will definitely go back to this place on next trip to Vail.
