Top Alien Shack Trailhead Hotel Reviews

Elevation Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Large,clean, well appointed rooms. Helpful, polite staff. The restaurant was disappointing. The decor was cold and dated, and the food was average."

The Grand Lodge, A Vail Resorts Property

10/10 Excellent

"Nice resort with everything you need for a nice stay"

The Grand Lodge by Traverse Hospitality (No Resort Fees)

8/10 Good

"It was clean. Nothing special but good location and clean room."

Nordic Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled with a pet, and Nordic Inn could not have been more accommodating. The room was on the first floor with easy access to a grassy area for our dog. Accommodations for its human owners were just as welcoming. We knew we would arrive late, so the staff made it easy to access our room and settle in by providing us with written instructions. The highest compliment that we can give is, "We look forward to returning.""
