Great budget place in the heart of Vail
It was business and pleasure type of trip. Education was wrapped around skiing time. Location was perfect right on the slope. Very friendly and accomodating staff

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!

Great family ski vacation
We would just like to say what wonderful and helpful staff work at the Lion Square Lodge - they could not have done more for our family and it made our stay enjoyable. We would recommend this hotel for everyone especially families - the location is perfect and the staff were great!

Great Location
We just spent a week in a one bedroom condo in the North Building of the Lion's Square Lodge. This South Building, which is the one that faces out directly onto the mountain, is about to be completely renovated. Our room and also the balcony were a bit shabby, so one can see why they are undertaking this work. Here are some things that will not change: 1) The view is amazing. 2)The location, steps from the gondola, cannot be beat. 3)The service was excellent. Here is one thing that I hope they will change: 1) the food at the restaurant Mezzaluna was horrible except for the pizza. Honestly, the worst pasta I have ever had in my life. I hope that they get a better restaurant when they re-open for business in December. While I would like to stay in the South Building again next year, it will be interesting to see how much more it will cost. In any case, the North Building, which has already been renovated did look quite nice, even though it is slightly less conveniently located. That one should still be affordable, I hope.

Short walk from hotel
The food in Lionshead is not so good. The Tavern on the Square, which is the restaurant of the Arrabelle, has gone downhill since last year. It is a bit uneven now and frankly some of the food is a bit contrived. Not the simple comfort food classics it used to be. The Chophouse is also a bit uneven. When we went there several nights ago, the filet mignon was perfect, but we had to send back BOTH side dishes as neither was adequately cooked.

We had a excellent time
This hotel exceeded our expectations. The interior is decorated in a beautiful lodge feel. The rooms are modern and lodge-like at the same time. The view from the modern pool was amazing. The staff was friendly and kept the hotel very clean. The only negative is that the exterior is decent and there is not a breakfast on-site. However, we loved this place and the location was perfect that we only drove our vehicle one time in 3 nights. We would love to go back at any season.

The gondola was just outside the hotel. So were miles of trails, restaurants, grocery store, STARBUCKS, bike rentals and shopping.

Perfect Vail location
The Lion Square Lodge is in the perfect Vail location. It's close to shops, restaurants, and a biking/walking train runs along a creek behind the lodge. We rented bikes at a nearby shop and had a great day exploring the area. The gondola is next to the lodge and is free after 4:00..gorgeous views!
