We stayed at Trappeur's Crossing on the weekend of August 10th to the 12th, 2007. Check out the below for some tips:
The Room - We stayed in Unit 2207, and it was very nice! I saw some different pictures on the internet of Trappeur's Crossing, obviously pre-renovation and post-renovation. Let me just settle it, the rooms are completely remodeled to the level one would expect in Steamboat. The architecture and furnishings are very similar to the Steamboat Grand Hotel, which is top notch. Very western/mountainy, very cozy and very comfortable. We also cooked breakfast one morning, and the kitchen was very well stocked with all the utencils needed to make pretty much any meal, which was very nice. The condos don't have A/C (like most places in Steamboat) so it can get pretty warm in the late afternoon, but it really cools down at night.
The Noise - Because you have all the windows open pretty much all the time (in the summer, anyway) the noise from the road is pretty loud at times if you stay at the Timberline building, as we did. Between the cars and busses, and drunk wedding/bar goers late night, it got a bit distracting. So I would recommend that in the summer you stay at one of the other buildings than the Timberline, just because of the noise. In the fall/winter, no problem.
The Facilities - The grounds are very nice. Since the condos are a little older, they have very nice mature landscaping. There is a pool and three hot tubs in the courtyard of the place, and its nice updated. The clubhouse offers computers with internet access, and DSL in all the rooms. The front desk staff were very nice as well. The parking was awesome, as there was parking in the middle of all the buildings, and then under each building as well. We never had any problem finding a parking spot under the building.
The Feel - We've stayed at several different places in Steamboat over the years, and Trappeur's Crossing are as good as any place. If you are looking for a condo, Trappeur's Crossing provides a very solid choice.
Happy Traveling!
