Crested Butte Magic Carpet Hotels

"Rip off. By way of tricky name. The real “lodge” is just called “The Lodge”. The use of “grand” is to make it sound better or at least vaguely comparable to the actual, real Lodge. Apparently the only staff is perhaps an owners daughter forced to work something like 18 hr days. She tried hard but there was no bedding on out beds and here’s the kicker- UTTER FALSE ADVERTISING VERY WELL KNOWN FOR BY A VAIL PROPERTY (remember getting ripped off during Covid for passes now in the thousand plus range where you had to apply in a weird Taylor Swift concert ticket grab kind of scenario just to be able to rightfully ski with your massively expensive ski pass?) so the false advertising is that they sneak around through hotels.com, a somewhat reputable site, and show TWO KING BEDS looking all plush like an AI version, but on arrival you find every unit in what is NOT A HOTEL (in their title, “Hotel and Residences” but a slick timeshare style thing where the “owners” are never there but they hire a mgt company to pawn off nights at their places Airbnb style, with no supplies bedding or any vaguely hotel-like standards, no doorman no concierge and one over worked obviously relative of an owner trying to satisfy a torrent of incoming guests thinking they’re at a hotel. The “fake second kind bed” depicted in hotels.com photos as plush identical beds is a drab, dilapidated MURPHY BED fold-down, which if you’ve ever tried to sleep in one you well know you might as well sleep on drywall.

"Fantastic location right next to the lifts Staff were great across the board: valet, spa, ski valet etc. Pool and hot tub are pretty basic though and really the only downside of our stay- time for an upgrade! "

"Communication with host was great. View amazing and it was true ski in ski out. Checking in was easy and just a short distance to get luggage into the unit. "

"We had a lovely stay. We found the kitchen to be fully stocked with all the equipment we needed to make meals. Can't beat the location for ski-in/ski-out. Convenient to town as well. Water was piping hot with excellent pressure. Would highly recommend and would stay again."

"Comfortably fit all of us, super close to mountain, and responses were quick! "

"All of the above!"

"Really friendly staff, cozy vibe, great location"

"Host was welcoming. Nice clean condo in a great location. Having a garage was a big help with all the snow this week. Only thing I would improve is the guest room bed was uncomfortable. Kids did not sleep well."

"Our original booking got flooded from the unit next door and Wendy and James immediately got us booked into another unit and moved all our stuff for us. They did everything to minimize the hassle and inconvenience resulting from a situation that was triggered by the other unit (which wasn't one of their units)."
