This hotel is located right at the upper end of Breckenridge's Main Street. Many restaurants and bars on both Main Street and the parallel Ridge Street are within a 10 minute walk. Breckenridge Brewery is just across the street. A couple of convenience stores are close by as well. A front door (on the opposite side of the building as the parking lot and vehicle drop-off) provides the best access to Main Street. Front desk staff are professional and accommodating. The breakfast is better than average for a hotel, and includes both self-serve waffles and an automatic mini pancake maker. Some of the hot food change each day. There's one particular man who works cleaning up at the breakfast and brings a happy vibe sometimes breaking out into song. Housekeeping is every other day by request and does so reliably. The suite-style rooms aren't overly spacious, but are plenty well appointed, comfortable and very clean. Excellent smart TVs provide easy high-tech connectivity. A full kitchen with a full size refrigerator is included with all rooms. WiFi is easy to connect to and reliable, thankfully not requiring routinely reconnecting. The public areas of the hotel are welcoming as well and include a lot of cool ski-related art (see my pics) and there's a very pleasant outside area with a firepit and some seating. Both indoor and outdoor parking are available. During ski season a shuttle provides non-stop service during the daytime to to three different drop-off points at the slopes. All three shuttle drivers that I encountered had helpful advice, with Alex perhaps having the deepest knowledge of the slopes and conditions at any given time.
What a spectacular lodge and location! Located up the mountain across from the ski slope, it offers great views all over - from our room, from the restaurant, and from the porch. Be aware there is no elevator, so be prepared to take steps to your room and to the restaurant. The lodge offers a shuttle all day which will save you on parking in town. Our room was wonderful - what a great morning view watching the sum come up over the mountain. The bed was comfy. The room had a keurig type coffee maker which was excellent! There's happy hour at the bar offering discounted drinks and appetizers. Weather was nice so we enjoyed our cocktail on the outside porch. We were able to talk with other guests from the lodge as well as others who stopped by the restaurant for drinks and food! Truly a wonderful experience!
This resort is a true gem in the breckenridge area. It is located outside the little town which is great for not being in the midst of the crowds. The welcoming at the front desk is really nice and staff is very kind in general. We had the please of staying in the suite and it was wonderful. Full kitchen, full bath, full siting area and a full bedroom. Everything you need is there! Swimming area is a true joy, including the hot tub.
SsusanbZ6050NIHighly recommend the Crystal Peak Lodge when staying in Breckenridge. The ”condo” we stayed in was a 2 bedroom + den and the den had a queen bed. Three full bathrooms. A wonderful kitchen and spacious balcony with great views. A short walk to the gondola. Exceptional property with wonderful amenities.
This place can be spectacular or shabby, depending on the room you get. And the only way to know what room you are TRULY getting is to book through the property. I learned this the hard way. Important discoveries: 1) do not stay here unless you can guarantee a river-facing unit with a balcony. These can be quite affordable and they are nothing short of a dream. The sound of the river just outside your window all night will lull you to sleep with the most beautiful white noise of nature. Sit on the patio and soak in the views of the rustling aspens as you sip coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Also noteworthy: these units face the East and only get gentle morning sun so the place never gets hot. This is especially important in the summer bc no properties in Breck have air conditioners. It can get really hot in the units facing the west. Also noteworthy: many units not facing the east overlook a busy-ish street which can be really awful with all the noise (lots of loud trucks all day and even into the night) and the smell of exhaust. But again— you must keep your windows open bc there is no AC. This makes for a miserable experience. 2) do not get a loft unit. Ever. The loft is the bedroom no windows, which means you will suffer a horrible heat when trying to sleep, summer or winter. There will be a skylight but no screen so opening it could allow unwanted critters. You’re in the mountains after all. The single story units (non-loft) have screens on all windows. 3) Stay off the ground floor if possible. This reduces the noise level and allows for a much better view of the river and beautiful trees. The river facing units are not to be missed, but the street level doesn’t provide the same experience. Still, ALWAYS choose river facing. Even street level is great, especially compared to the non-river facing units that face the street or the parking lot. 4) Do not believe the images you see on the hotel websites bc they are often not images of the actual unit you think you are renting. To be safe, always contact the property directly to confirm you are getting the room/amenities you want. 2)
