Top Thunderhead Express Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Steamboat Springs by IHG

8/10 Good

"Quiet and convenient. There were some stains on the sheets making it feel a bit uncomfortable/ not knowing how clean they really were. Did not like being charged to simply “park” the car. Guys at the front desk were excellent-especially when making recommendations for enjoying the town."

Charming Townhouse on Burgess Creek, Sauna, Winter Shuttle

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. This condo met our early-summer needs perfectly: secluded (not in the high-rise resort area), next to a mountain, back yard with pine trees and a creek running just beyond it, covered balcony to enjoy all that nature. It is a 3-level unit with extra little levels thrown in on the main floor to descend to the living room, etc. Lots of stairs.It has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, enough that each bedroom has its "own" bath. The "primary" bedroom upstairs sits at the front, near the parking area, so receives a lot of light (and potentially noise) all night because the parking lot is well-lit and the curtains are not light-blocking. Plan accordingly: ear plugs, eye mask. It has a queen bed and an attached double-sink vanity area with a doored-off toilet/shower room. You must pass through this vanity area to access the loft bedroom.The "loft" bedroom has an amazing night sky view looking out the clerestory windows from the loft bed. Leave a window open to add the sound of the creek. Its "own" bathroom becomes the one on the main floor--not super convenient but doable. (The loft bed mattress is actually an XL twin, although the space it sits in creates the optical illusion of making it look shorter. It's not.)The "second" bedroom is downstairs with a queen bed and a twin bunk bed. The queen mattress is uncomfortably firm for me. It's "own" bathroom is four steps down the hall past the (5-ish person) sauna.Kitchen is well-stocked but needs more teflon-free pans."

Sheraton Steamboat Resort Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We were very happy with our choice and would book this resort again. Everything was super clean. Room was spacious and comfortable. They tell you about a $30/day parking charge when checking in, at that point what are you going to do, because you make your reservation in advance and you are kind of captive. Hotels.com should mention this and factor it in to the per night charge. Overall we were totally pleased."

Storm Meadows Townhome 29 | Ski In Ski Out | Pool & Hot Tub | Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"We can’t wait to come back! Everything was even better than described I felt. Views from every window and balcony were amazing. Very well appointed decor wise and amenities wise. Check out was very clear and simple. There wasn’t a list of tasks we needed to do which I appreciate as a mom traveling with family! Beds were incredibly comfortable we felt and rooms were thoughtfully laid out. I’d give it an 11/10 but I didn’t get to see a moose or a bear so just a 10/10"

Walk to the Thunderhead Lift

10/10 Excellent

"We came with a large group for a family reunion and had an amazing visit. We loved that there were bathrooms attached to almost all the bedrooms . Two washer/ dryers and two dishwashers were so helpful with our large group. Kitchen was fully stocked. The owners truly had thought of everything.We loved the hot tub and the pool table. It was nice to have several different areas for our group to gather. We really liked the back porch. The railing went all the way around so we could sit and talk while the toddler played without worrying of her falling off. The chairs were comfortable, and the atmosphere was amazing.The owner was quick to respond to all my questions and great to work with. We’ve stayed at a lot of different cabins, and this was by far the best. Thanks for the great experience."

Creekside Retreat Near Gondola

8/10 Good

"Did not get a unit number after purchasing. I had to call the Retreatia office to have them look it up. There were no basic cleaning products so we had to improvise on cleaning up after ourselves. There were also quite a few spiders throughout our weekend stay. Other than these few issues it was a nice property with a beautiful creek view out the back balcony."
