Reviewer Comments:
PineRidge Condominiums are THE prime Breck location in my opinion, have stayed at many many different units in this complex over the years. Have never come across the deal breaker issue we had with 7E. The window in the guest bedroom and the window in the loft are absolutely unopenable, not even an inch. In Breck you do not need air conditioning, but you do need airflow or it gets hot in a top floor condo. Sleeping in either the 2nd bedroom or the loft was not comfortable temperature wise. Beyond the 2nd bedroom and loft getting hot, I was particularly concerned with the escapability of the 2nd bedroom in case of fire or other emergency. That window cannot be opened by design according to Pinnacle Lodging. Coincidently the 2nd bedroom closet did contain a nice fire escape rope ladder, a really nice feature, if only it could be used in an emergency. I have no idea what fire code is in Breck, I simply was uncomfortable knowing the escape wasn't available and felt compelled to let Pinnacle Lodging know as well as you with this review. Pinnacle Lodging was quick to respond to my concerns although they were only able to say the requirement that the windows not open was an HOA requirement. I could see other units with the windows open in the 2nd bedroom so I inquired with the on-site property manager. He was able to confirm what we had experienced with all other units we had rented, that the 2nd bedroom windows all open in the other similar units. Pinnacle Lodging did provide a couple of 8x8" square fans that you added cool water to, they made no difference. They weren't able to provide a portable AC unit as they require exhausting the hot air outside and with the window sealed that wasn't an option. Personally I'll stay in PineRidge condominiums in the future but just not this particular unit over my safety concerns and preference for cool spaces for sleeping.
