Hotels Near Rainbow Lake in Breckenridge

Nice place, room was a bit small and hot with no air con but only for one night it was fine.

Wow.... what a bummer of an experience. Where to begin with what went wrong!?!? This is the 4th year we have stayed at the Village. We have ALWAYS loved it and have been very happy there. This year was we were NOT happy. 1) Upon getting my confirmation email shortly before our stay, I called in to see if we could request a Premier Room (our reserved room type) with a bunk bed set up like we had had our first year there. The gentleman said I had to request it when we arrived on site to check in. No problem. That's what I planned to do then, per his suggestion. 2) Upon arriving, there was a HUGE line. I waited about 20+ minutes, behind 6 other groups to check in, with another 4 groups behind me. When it was my turn, I explained our desire to the front desk person, who promptly told me I needed to have called in beforehand and that my room was already assigned. Feeling the pressure of the people behind me, I continued to ask for what I was told to ask for upon check-in. She kept telling me the same thing until I asked for a manager. The manager NEVER came out of the back room, which I felt was tacky and unprofessional. The front desk person came back and had switched us to the bunk room. I kept verifying that this was a premier room still but with bunk beds. She said yes. The reason for the bunk beds is that last year our second bedrooms were REALLY SMALL with two full beds in them. There is no room for bags or to even walk around. 3) Upon getting to the Chateau building, we loaded our bags into the elevator while also getting 3 kids in. I held the elevator with the button, but also had my hand in front of it while my son got his last bag and got in with our other two children. While walking through the door, the door started to close, alarms went off and he barely got through without the door CLOSING ON HIM!!!!!!! IT DID NOT STOP and almost crushed him in the door. What kind of elevator doesn't stop when something or SOMEONE is in the doorway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4) We then got to our floor and were getting out and it did it AGAIN, this time on my daughter. I screamed and pulled her through the door before it crushed her. I am NOT exaggerating. 5) After getting them in the room, our bags in the room, and waiting for my husband, I went to the front desk, only to have the manager (the same one that never came out of her office before when there was a HUGE line) belittle me about the incidentS. Incidents PLURAL. She kept smirking and telling me that they run the rooms and the HOA runs the elevator. What kind of person says something so stupid! Oh I'm sorry your child almost got crushed in the elevator, but that's not our responsibility. We only rent the rooms on the 4th floor but we don't provide you with a way to get there. The HOA does, so we wash our hands of the elevator... that's not our responsibility. Did she not realize how stupid and inconsiderate that sounded? I was PISSED. No doubt if my kids lost a limb or got cr

This hotel is located right at the upper end of Breckenridge's Main Street. Many restaurants and bars on both Main Street and the parallel Ridge Street are within a 10 minute walk. Breckenridge Brewery is just across the street. A couple of convenience stores are close by as well. A front door (on the opposite side of the building as the parking lot and vehicle drop-off) provides the best access to Main Street. Front desk staff are professional and accommodating. The breakfast is better than average for a hotel, and includes both self-serve waffles and an automatic mini pancake maker. Some of the hot food change each day. There's one particular man who works cleaning up at the breakfast and brings a happy vibe sometimes breaking out into song. Housekeeping is every other day by request and does so reliably. The suite-style rooms aren't overly spacious, but are plenty well appointed, comfortable and very clean. Excellent smart TVs provide easy high-tech connectivity. A full kitchen with a full size refrigerator is included with all rooms. WiFi is easy to connect to and reliable, thankfully not requiring routinely reconnecting. The public areas of the hotel are welcoming as well and include a lot of cool ski-related art (see my pics) and there's a very pleasant outside area with a firepit and some seating. Both indoor and outdoor parking are available. During ski season a shuttle provides non-stop service during the daytime to to three different drop-off points at the slopes. All three shuttle drivers that I encountered had helpful advice, with Alex perhaps having the deepest knowledge of the slopes and conditions at any given time.
