Flying Dutchman 1117

The units are all individually owned, so they vary. Ours had been nicely renovated. It was a couple of miles from the conference center, which made for a quiet stay with few residents during the shoulder season. The worn shared areas and odd hamster-cage smell in the stairwells are why I took off a star.

Really relaxing and convenient. A bit dated, but very clean, and the grounds are beautiful.

We liked being so close to Keystone and A-Basin, and the place felt like a comfortable home away from home. It was stocked with dishes, silverware, and plenty of towels. The laundry facilities were handy, and the pool and hot tub were only a short walk away. The master bed could be more comfortable, but we'd recommend this place to families.

After two more nights, the staff still hadn't fixed the hot water, stove, or broken fan. They also asked me to leave at 10 a.m. on the last day. Instead of moving me, they said they'd refund the resort fee for the inconvenience. I won't stay in condos run by Keystone again. I was one night into a three-night reservation when I wrote this, and the stay was already far from the relaxing vacation I'd hoped for. On arrival, the kitchen burners weren't working properly, so I couldn't cook and had to eat out for every meal, adding expense. There was no hot water for showers, and after a day of activities a cold shower was neither pleasant nor acceptable for a supposedly premium place. The unit had no AC. I understand weather can be unpredictable, but it was uncomfortably hot even with the two provided fans, one of which was broken. Those problems left me exhausted and frustrated after a restless night with little or no sleep. Guests should be able to count on basic comfort and amenities, and Flying Dutchman Condos fell short. Maintenance issues can happen, but they need prompt attention. I can't recommend Flying Dutchman Condos or #1142, and I regret giving the experience one star. I hoped the remaining nights would improve and management would fix things for future guests, but they didn't.
