super experience from the start, res staff was excellant and took the time to describe property, ammenities, and location. upon arrival we weren't let down as the check-in process was also warm, friendly, welcoming and informative. hotel is certainly an older property, but the location was absolutely amazing. we know ski-in/ski-out has become a popular term with questionable interpretation, however,... more

My sister & I wanted to getaway from Denver for labor day weekend, got a reasonable rate last minute for the Best Western Ptarmigan. When we arrived around 8pm, we checked into our room which was hard to navigate through the hallways, I got lost once. When we arrived at our room, we double check all the sheets before settling... more

We booked this hotel from the Steamboat Springs Reservation Group and feel this property is completely overated and overpriced. Yeah, maybe it was stylish in the 70's, but when was the last time you saw salmon colored formica in a bathroom? The beds were hard and the pillows were crushed. Our "slopeside" room, #220, was in the basement, with a... more

THE PORCHES have bought this little hotel and maybe after the 2007/8 season it will be leveled to make way for MORE CONDOS to add to the every spreading sprawl of condos at this once quaint western countryside that has totally lost it's western country appeal! Sadly, it is just a massive sprawl of million dollar condos on top of... more

Be aware of getting "stuck in the middle": We made reservations through the "TripAdvisor" web site, through links to Expedia and in turn Best Western -- but somehow the fact that some of our party were children got lost (children under 18 are supposed to stay free at Ptarmigan Inn, according to their web site). Expedia refuses to deal with... more

The front desk staff was very nice. The price was right, but the hotel is older and not really that great. The floor had that matted down look and the carpet in our room needed a good vacuuming. The sock found under the edge of the bed was less than appealing as well. The bathroom had some hair on the... more

We stayed one night here, mid-September - this is 'between season' in Steamboat, reflected in the room rate of around $60. We are experienced travellers, but had a bit of trouble finding it! This, it transpired, is due to a city-enforced absence of road signage, which we think is fine. (I see no other reviewers note this problem, so it... more

Lots of dirt. The floor looked like someone spit up on it and it was never cleaned up. There is something that looks like blood running down the wall. The lights don't all work and the toilet has something running down the front of it. However the last straw was when I opened the ice bucket and it looked like... more

I can't say enough good things about the staff. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone traveling with their pooch, and bargain hunters because they have some of the best rates in the area. Even if you don't stay try the restaurant, the menu's small but the food and service is better than the Slopeside Grill (both accomodate pooches on the... more
