We recently stayed at the Sheraton for eight nights, and the experience was excellent. We reserved a two-bedroom villa. A few notes and comments:
- The location can't be beat, with easy ski-in-ski-out. There are three lifts (Wild Blue Gondola, Christie Express and Steamboat Gondola) a short walk from the hotel. There is a ski rental on the first level which was convenient, along with a ski store. Because we were staying at the Sheraton we received a 20% discount on our snowboard rental.
- We reserved a 2-bedroom villa, which was clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Both bedrooms, and the living area had large TVs. There was a 6-person dining table, clothes washer/dryer combo, and balcony. The full kitchen could have used a few more utensils such as a spatula but no big deal. No fireplace. We did not hear noise from the adjacent rooms (but we did hear drunks singing loudly in the hallway in the wee hours one night).
- We were charged $20 per day for parking. There is a parking ramp near the entrance, but the spaces are tight, especially for a large SUV like we had. There are two levels, and we parked on the lower level because there were always spots available. The hotel does not have a shuttle, but there is a bus service (which we didn't use). Steamboat Springs is about a 10-minute drive from the hotel.
- There is a small restaurant and bar (Saddles) in the hotel near the lobby. We did not eat here, instead opting to walk to some of the local restaurants such as Truffle Pig and Timber & Torch. There is also a market next to the lobby that has a good selection of RTD beverages and food, and also offers coffee and sandwiches.
- The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Check-in was easy. Of the eight nights we stayed, we received room cleaning three times (which is all we needed). They did a good job and even loaded the dishwasher for us. There was a restaurant charge on our bill that wasn't ours, but the staff quickly corrected it. Check out was 10 am which is earlier than I'm used to, but they did offer late checkout (which we didn't need).
- Our 2nd floor had two outside hot tubs which we enjoyed, and there was also a large hot tub and heated swimming pool on the main level (which we didn't use).
Overall, big thumbs up on the location, room, staff and amenities. We've stayed here twice now and will continue to choose this hotel when skiing in Steamboat.
