Apollo Park A205, 1BD Condo: 1 BR / 2 BA condo in Vail, Sleeps 4

Yes the Apollo Park units are older and have not been updated so you can not judge the conditions to other nearby properties. They are what they are but purrs was clean and ready for us. However, the location is excellent, we met great people, and we will definitely try to rent here again.

The unit is dated and shows significant signs of wear and tear. Single pane glass patio doors that don't seal well allow chilly drafts past the fold out beds. There is an old sauna unit but despite considerable effort, it could not be made to work. The showers have been caulked up in an unprofessional way. The overall experience is like staying in a run down Motel 6. Of course, by Vail standards you are paying Motel 6 rates. Accordingly, this is an example of getting what you pay for leading to an overall "neutral" rating.

Perfectly situated with beautiful Gore creek views and views of the mountain and gondola. Condo interior could use updating, furniture replaced or repaired. However, the bed was super comfortable. The kitchen was also very well stocked. The pool was awesome. Super warm, not just heated to the the edge off, but actually waem and comfortable. There is a grill on condi patio and by the pool which is great!

Awesome spot! 5 min walk to village!

We knew we were getting an outdated condo, so I am not going to complain that the furniture and things were 20-30 yrs old. Some things that can be improved - both bath tubs didnt drain well, so expect to stand in 4 inches of water while showering. The outlets need to be updated, since many of the devices I plugged in would fall out of the socket...making it difficult to charge them. The condo was advertised to have a phone (and we were given a number!) - but there was not a phone in the condo...so I am not sure what that was about. Finally I called Vail mgmt to inquire about the internet access (since it was advertised as having internet, but they did not provide the wifi instructions). Vail Mgmt said "that condo does not have wifi" and basically told me to go to an internet cafe somwehere. They are actually incorrect with that statement (I emailed them a screenshot of the VRBO page which said it DOES have internet - I wouldn't have booked a condo without it!), but they stood by it and didn't attempt to make it right. Well, I eventually did find the wifi instructions - in a blue book in the sitting area - and got wifi to work after going 2 days without it. Vail Mgmt never did respond to my email which proved them wrong, so I guess they still think they are right (not the customer). Vail Mgmt did come out and fix the two non-working oven burners.

Plenty of space, nice view, and short walk to Village made this condo ideal from that perspective.
