Residence Inn Steamboat Springs

The room itself was lovely, but I can't give a hotel more than three stars when it uses and throws away paper plates and plastic cutlery. That shows an unacceptable lack of concern for sustainability. Charging another $7 for laundry also feels cheeky after paying $250 for the room.

It's easy to reach town or the ski resort by bus or car, and the rooms are fairly spacious with decent amenities. But breakfast was poor, the food wasn't great, and drip coffee was the only option. Disposable plates, cups, and silverware make the whole setup feel cheap, and should never be used. They charge $10 per night for parking, so covered parking would have been nice. A garage would've been even better.

The property has spacious rooms, a nice lobby and bar, a great breakfast, and a well-equipped exercise room. The outdoor pool and hot tub got plenty of use. The breakfast team were awesome both days. I tried to tell the young lady at the front desk that one of the bikes needed repair, but she didn't seem to understand. Also, the young front desk guy working during the day shouldn't be sitting there with AirPods in and constantly looking at his phone. It doesn't look good.

Dear Mason, thanks for such a warm and genuine welcome when you checked us in. Your tips about the free bus lines around Steamboat and your local restaurant recommendations made the start of our vacation so much easier and more enjoyable. We really appreciated your kindness. The Coopers
