Go to Mo's BBQ! It's inexpensive and the BBQ pulled pork and the fixings are all really good! For $22 we fed 4 grownups.

Great

excellent and helpful staff. Requested a king bed on arrival and they got it instead of the booked queen. Lions head is out of vail village but the shuttle is right there...so it's not as crowded, but if you want the crowd, it's just a short free shuttle away. I'd stay here every time!

Lionsquare Lodge - Summer Weekend

Our room on the first floor of the Lionsquare Lodge (#166) was perfect for our needs. Comfortable bed, spacious room with mini fridge/freezer, coffee maker, & microwave. Small bathroom, but well arranged. Everything was finished quite nicely. (Each unit is owned individually, so your mileage may vary.) The room included a small patio which looks to the south side of the Lionshead runs at Vail and leads to a the bike path, a creek, and the lovely outdoor pool and hot tubs.

Good for the family

The kids really enjoyed the pool that included some pool toys. The lodge had their own parking lot and it was free which is a big plus in Vail.
