The good: Unit had ample room. Bathrooms were spacious, well equipped, and luxurious. Kitchen had necessary equipment. Pool and hot tub were functional and well maintained. Plenty of linens were provided.
The bad: If you are staying in the Canyons to ski with a family, I would not recommend staying at this property. The listing indicated “steps to skiing”. Perhaps it was a literal description because you will need to climb about 50 steps to get to the chairlifts. The Silverado Lodge is oddly placed within the Canyons. You can take a bus down to the main transit center and ride the Cabriolet lift or walk/bus to the bottom of the steps that go up to Orange Bubble and the Red Pine Gondola. But walking to the lifts with ski boots from Silverado Lodge is unpleasant, especially if you have kids with you. To make matters worse, the room associated with this listing is in the complete opposite end of the building from the front door. While the map in the listing may make it look like it isn’t far and “steps to skiing”, the elevation is not accurately portrayed in the map. It’s probably an ok place to stay if you aren’t skiing but I would not stay in Silverado Lodge again if I were in the Canyons to ski. You will be better off staying off site and parking in the main lot by the base of the Cabriolet lift. An ever-better option would be the Wyndham or Waldorf that has their own lift. The overall placement of Silverado Lodge is terrible in my opinion for skiing.
Some other frustrations were the fact that the Silverado “ski check” which was advertised was closed due to construction, so we had to carry our skis up to the room each night. The check-in process also wasn’t smooth as our keys didn’t work the first time. This was frustrating considering the room is extremely far away from the front desk.
Additionally, while it may look like from the pictures that there is ample cabinet space in the kitchen, some cabinets have locks on them and cannot be used. So we really didn’t have a lot of space to store our groceries that we stocked up on.
