The Holiday Inn Apex is higher-end than you might expect from the chain, with cozy mountain lodge decor in the public spaces. (Rooms, however, are for the most part typically chain-like, and could use an update.) The indoor Jacuzzi, year-round outdoor pool with beautiful views, and three solid on-site restaurants are all perks, but the location a few miles from Vail and Lionshead Villages is inconvenient.
