The upper-middle-range Marriot’s Mountain Valley Lodge
at Breckenridge is within walking distance of downtown Breckenridge and a short
drive to many attractions. With a view of the mountains, the heated outdoor pool and four hot tubs are a guest favorite,
though the fitness center is impressive as well. It may be a large, impersonal
hotel, but it’s comprehensive in features that encourage camaraderie such as a
family-friendly game room, a sundeck with grills, and a lounge room with a
pool table and board games, though there's no restaurant on-site. The 111 guest rooms
are homey and modern with flat-screen TVs, full kitchens, and private balconies, though they lack air-conditioning. Travelers might also want to consider the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Breckenridge, which has similar
rates and offers a restaurant and breakfast buffet.
Scene
Lodge-like chain hotel that caters to couples and families
Marriott’s Mountain Valley Lodge at Breckenridge is housed in a large lodge-style building with sloping roofs. Between the buildings are various footpaths that lead to a
bridge that crosses Maggie Pond. Interiors are cozy, with a stone-floored lobby that has a wooden ceiling and crimson-colored accents like area rugs and patterned armchairs providing seating in front of large windows that illuminate the space with sunlight. A birch tree branch arrangement acts as an attractive partition between the lobby and a small business center, while a vintage-style popcorn machine and a table with pitchers of refreshments are a welcoming touch, though guests have noted that messes near the machine remain
throughout the day. Mountain scene paintings are found throughout the hotel, and
colorful carpets festooned with tree or flower designs are placed in the hallways and near the
elevator. The property mainly attracts couples,
though families are common guests too and utilize the game room or lounge
areas.
Location
Within walking distance of downtown Breckenridge
The hotel sits next to Maggie Pond, where travelers
can participate in fun lake activities like kayaking and bubble balls. Main
Street in downtown Breckenridge has dining and entertainment options and is less than a
10-minute walk away. The nearest ski lift is the Quicksilver Super 6 lift at
only a few minutes’ walk, though other lifts take about a five- to 10-minute
drive to reach. Family fun can be had an eight-minute drive away at the
Breckenridge Ski Resort, which has the Gold Runner Alpine Coaster and the
TenMile Flyer Zipline. Breckenridge Golf Club is a 13-minute drive away.
Rooms
Homey rooms with full kitchens, some with balconies, but no air-conditioning
Rooms feature pleasant, contemporary decor with a neutral color palette that includes light gray
carpets, cream-hued walls, and wooden furniture accented by orange couches and striped armchairs as well as artwork depicting forest scenes and trees. Some items in the rooms appear dated, however, like the burnt orange bed skirts and granite countertops. All rooms have full kitchens with microwaves,
refrigerators, coffeemakers, ovens, dishwashers, cutlery, plates, and pots. Other amenities include flat-screen TVs, and some rooms have balconies (some with mountain views), though there's no air-conditioning (fans and humidifiers are provided). Full housekeeping services are usually provided during mid-stay, though the option of daily services is available. Villas offer more space than Studios and have separate living rooms with couches. Bathrooms are decent in size and offer plenty of storage space thanks to large granite-topped vanities and several drawers. They include shower/tub combos and hairdryers.
Features
Heated pool, hot tubs, game room, and free Wi-Fi
The hotel has a large outdoor heated lap pool that can be accessed from inside the hotel.
The pool patio has four hot tubs, lounge chairs, a grill, and tables
with umbrellas and chairs. There’s a large 24-hour fitness center with a number of cardio
machines with TVs, weight machines, and free weights. The hotel offers a variety
of common areas such as an outdoor patio area with plush
couches around fire pits as well as a lounge with a pool table, a small library,
and board games, plus there's a sundeck with multiple grills, tables with chairs, and
a life-size chess game. The game room is a family-friendly feature as it
includes a life-size Jenga game, Ping-Pong, foosball, a high-tech DJ music
system, and video games. The resort offers on-site ski, snowboard, and bicycle
rentals as well as free ski storage for guests. Business travelers can make use of
a business center with two computers and a printer in the lobby, plus Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Guests can also utilize a coin-operated laundry room. Free parking
is available, but it only allows one car per room, and guests have made
complaints about narrow spaces and difficulty parking larger vehicles like SUVs.
