We stayed here during the Thanksgiving weekend 2012 and I was pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere and the friendly staff. We were there mainly to snowboard so we didn't spend a lot of time in the Hotel but we did go down to the heated pool and Jacuzzi at night, it was clean and cozy, you can go for a swim than relax by one of the fireplaces outside. Its within walking distance from everything so you don't have to drive just walk along the river to get to the village. The rooms were excellent comfortable beds, very clean, and the bathtubs are enormous so you can soak in them after a long day of skiing or snowboarding without having to go down to the pool or jacuzzi. The concierge hooked us up with tickets to the cine bistro which was excellent for my teenage girls that wanted to see the new Twighlight movie.

Every need of the guest is thought of before arriving here. We stay here on every trip to Vail. The Spa is great and the overall ambience is just terrific! The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast buffet in the Atwater is huge with both hot and cold food items, the chef preparing eggs any way you would like them is an added bonus. Great variety of food for every taste.

Stayed here for a wedding. Was a little outraged at the price charged for a room here; it was early january and the snow coverage is still pretty poor. But this place is the only ski-in ski-out resort I've ever stayed at. But too bad with all the wedding events, we did not have time to ski. Also, this place charges an extra resort fee, parking fee and if you wanted to use the fitness center even it is $27 extra, crazy. The resort felt like something in the 80's esp the elevators and hallways. The room we stayed in was very small and had low ceilings. The bathroom was outdated but not amazing by any means. I am from LA and have stayed at Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Westin and this place was ok. The best part was probably the lobby area where there was a nice fireplace and the library next to the reception area. The staff was very nice and helpful. The hot tub was cool too, right next to a ski run. The Aria spa is nice if you're willing to pay extra, but it does not compare to the Four Seasons spas I've been to. The wedding restaurant made the best steak i have ever had at a wedding so kudos for making good food even in large mass quantities. But the wedding set up seemed a bit awkward. And if you had the leave, you basically cut through the dance floor.
Yeah, so I don't think I'd ever stay here again.

We have stayed at the Cascade in the past and have always been thrilled with the attentive staff and variety of amenities, especially the ski shop and chair lift right on property! However, we were a little apprehensive about traveling with our three children over Christmas, for fear we might miss out on some of the "Santa traditions". Little did we know that the Cascade had a ton of great activities planned for the holiday. One night we made gingerbread houses...and not with little graham crackers and some icing. These were real, good sized houses which gave us all plenty of room to be creative with all of the goodies the hotel provided. Another night the kids decorated stockings but the best part was that the hotel FILLED the stockings the three nights prior to Christmas with all kinds of great gifts and treats. The kids were THRILLED!! There were also movie nights planned, smores around the fire pit, an incredible magician, contests...the list goes on. We had asked the kids if they wanted to do some of the activities in Vail Village after skiing and every night they wanted to go back to the hotel and take part in their activities. We could not have scripted a better Christmas away from home!! The Cascade staff truly made it a special occasion for all of us! The Cascade will continue to be our resort of choice in Vail!
