Best Western Ptarmigan Lodge

Close to ski areas… Hardy breakfast buffet… Excellent hot tub…!

Just missing pool

Room was least expensive Friday night we could find in the area during ski season. Rooms were clean and well-maintained. Hot tub was great and accommodated 2 groups with no crowding. Ski locker was too small for 4 sets of skis. Room was a bit noisy due to folks upstairs stomping around late at night.

The hot tub was lukewarm at best. Sauna did not work. Walls are paper thin. It’s in a great area and the staff is very friendly. Could use some updates on basic amenities that brought us to the property.

The rooms were super clean, the staff awesome. Breakfast was great with a lot of options and good coffee (which is so rare at hotels). The view is beautiful! The hot tub nice and big and well maintained. Can’t say enough great things about this place.

Very nice motel on the lake, very good breakfast buffet, hot tub and sauna. We liked it a lot!

Check in was rough and our AC didnt work so it was hot in the room but everything else was fantastic. The lake outside is beautiful and the breakfast offered a lot of little options. The sauna wasnt very hot but it was nice and the jacuzzi was excellent.

The pet rooms with the kitchenette are like a tiny home so you can cook lunch or dinner for a money saving trip. Breakfast is included so that’s already taken care of. Very pet friendly and directly across from the lake and a path to walk your doggo. I love this place!

Great location for skiing and well worth the price. Some of the community areas like the hot tub can use some updating.

The hot tub was perfect, really warm but not too hot. Remind guests if they want to use the sauna, to turn it on when they first go in, so it can warm up while they are in the hot tub. Area is very eco-friendly for dogs with lots of walking areas.

Had a great stay! What an amazing location and view. Yes, the facilities are very old but it's clean and the staff are nice.

Old buildings but clean inside the rooms

View was great. Room was musty and smelled, staff was rude. Key didn’t work several times.

Old but clean.

Clean room and very nice accommodations for the price. Breakfast is great.

Incredible location with views of the reservoir and Mtns that’s better than advertised. Housekeeping does an impeccable job. I’ll be back again and again.

Property is pretty outdated when compared to other Best Westerns. My husband thought the room smelled like cat piss, although it seemed fairly clean. Breakfast was okay. They had a good supply of coffee, which is always a plus. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful! I’m giving a low review because some staff were not very nice. Checkout is at 11:00. We were opening the door to our room at 11:02 to take our bags out to our car, and a rude staff member with an accent yelled at us that checkout was at 11:00. This is not something that will keep customers returning to your hotel.

It was clean, quiet and beds were comfortable!

Room was clean and quiet. Wonderful breakfast. We loved the location. Friendly staff this morning at the front desk.

The view from the road across the street was amazing, the hot tub/sauna area was nice, clean and relaxing. The room was decent, outdated but alright. The bathroom shower curtain was very dirty and moldy. When brought to the attention of the front desk receptionist in a nice way for possible next guests she completely disregarded us and was just very rude in general. Recommend the views though for sure!

Thin walls and ceilings in building 3; you can hear everything.

No air conditioning in the room (open noisey windows) and turn on ceiling fan. Didn’t sleep well because of temperature! Bed was comfortable and room was fairly clean but no elevator only stairs!

The hotel is in a very old building. My room did not have the lake view as advertised—instead, it faces the parking lot. I feel this is misleading and not honorable.

Older property. Room was comfortable. You could hear people walking above & doors closing/slamming was bothersome but stopped and was quiet for sleeping. Warm breakfast options. Staff was very friendly, parking very convenient. You could look out over Lake Dillon.

Though the outside is dated, the room was spacious, nicely remodeled and comfortable. It was also very quiet despite being full. We came with modest expectations due to other reviews and were pleasantly surprised and how nice it was. Additionally, the breakfast was excellent, hot and the area was well attended/clean. If we are in the area again, we will certainly consider this hotel again.

Only a few issues to note: - Wi-fi was unusable from 6-10 pm. Too many people on at same time. They need to upgrade their internet plan to relieve network congestion. - The bulb in the hanging lamp above the table and chairs is not covered by the lampshade. It's like you're sitting at a table in an interrogation room. It's also hung too low. It should be raised and the fixture should be changed so the entire bulb is covered by the lamp shade. - The second Q bed makes for a narrow passageway to the bathroom. I was always on edge about breaking my toe on the bed frame, b/c I was in town to ski. - The towel rack c/b re-located above the toilet so the bathroom door could swing open all the way and not block access to the toilet. - Closets are an antiquated waste of space. This 2Q room had plenty of space on the bed sides to put a free-standing coat rack, or even wall-mounted pegs. To make better use of the space, the closet should be transformed to the bathroom entrance; The tub/shower should be moved to the back window (b/c bathroom windows are antiquated, too, not to mention they're a heat-leak); The beds should both be moved towards the back of the space and have a little less space between them so that they can put a bigger communal table that could be shared by 4 adults. - There's a table with benches and 2 separate benches in the area where dogs are expected to relieve themselves. They provide the bags, which is great, but this is NOT a sitting space. Replace with

Beds were very old and uncomfortable. The walls were paper thin and could hear everything going on outside and in the other rooms. Also, rooms had no AC, so was very hot and stuffy even with windows open.

It said lake view and there wasn’t any

Recommend you cancel if you can't get assurance there'll be no one above you. Floors creaky. Any walking will wake you.

For what I paid, there were a few things that could be improved. No AC in room, WiFi was extremely slow, paper plates and plastic cutlery at breakfast. Good at breakfast was good. Finding the office to check in was tricky too, as there's four buildings and I didn't know which one to go to.

We stayed here several times before. It is a convenient location, the price / value relation is very good. The breakfast area can get crowded, especially on weekends, but the quality of the free breakfast is very adequate. It’s always stacked up well and clean. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

We arrived in the evening and the person doing the check in process was not pleasant. Because someone was asking about extending their stay the check in person took 15 plus minutes looking into this as I waited. The rest of my family was waiting for 15 mins in the car . She wasn’t pleasant at all during this process. Other than that the breakfast staff was super nice and the beds were amazing . The view was incredible.

We arrived later in the evening. My hubby went in to pay for the room. He wanted to pay cash and give the card for incidentals. However the front desk argued with him and would not let him do that. And she was extremely rude. The bed had a smell to it. For the price of 150.00 we should have gone some place else. But unfortunately since we were traveling for a memorial service we didnt have a chance to find anything else at 10 pm.

Easy if you were seeing a show at the Dylan amphitheater, otherwise I would avoid this place. We didn’t have any temperature control in our room, which was hot and muggy. Multiple issues with room keys and had to go get new keys three times during our one night stay. Staff was not very friendly or warm, seemed annoyed and frustrated. Overpriced for what you get.

Aaron at the front desk was professional and very nice. He went above and beyond to make sure our questions and requests were answered.

Check-in was a breeze. We got here a bit before midnight. Breakfast is till 10! Awesome. Grounds look beautiful, can’t wait to explore in the morning. Sadly, we’re only staying 1 night.

Room was spacious and clean with convenient ski storage lockers. Front desk staff had a hard time checking us in with computer problems and then got to our room and someone was in there. Manager took care of it but it definitely wasn’t a smooth check in.

Front desk guy was very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous view of lake

The front desk was very rude and unaccomdating when we arrived. I had contacted the hotel to request a change to 2 x queen rooms weeks prior and was assured this was noted and would be accommodated. Arrived to a room with 1 king. We asked for a roll away bed and were met with attitude and eye rolls for making the request. I didn’t expect to pay extra for both a cot and the attitude.

Room was clean and quiet. Wonderful breakfast. We loved the location. Friendly staff this morning at the front desk.

Perfect stay when you are attending a concert at the Dillon Amphitheater. Less than a 5 min walk to the lake with beautiful views of everything around. Staff is super friendly. Room was nice and the bed was very comfy. Would absolutely be staying here again in the future.

Perfect! Perfect location by Dillon Lake & amphitheater. Comfortable clean rooms, nice pillows, nice staff, really great breakfast!

Great location for Dillon Ampitheater

Price during the shoulder season was very affordable. Clean room with a view of the lake. Moved from another hotel that we stayed at in Frisco. We initially booked one night here afraid that it would be less than ideal like our Frisco stay. Ended up staying 3 nites here. Easy access to the lake, bike path and a pub only 3 minute walk up the street. Breakfast was great! Better than most full breakfast that is served at many hotels The service person was impressive. He constantly stocked items and cleaned the area. A very hard worker! The only negative is that it is an older hotel and showing some age but for the price and the location, we aren't complaining.

Overlooking Lake Dillon, the views cannot be beat. Walk to the marina for boating or Pug Ryans for dinner.

This is a great place to stay, especially if you're there for a show at the Dillon Ampitheatre, which is right across the street. The lakefront rooms have gorgeous views! There's no a/c, but the area stays pretty cool most of the year. The staff were friendly and helpful. I'd definitely stay again. Wonderful - and very walkable - location!

The property sits in a wonderful 360 degree setting. Water Mountains and beautiful views. Rustic updated lodge Clean and comfortable across from the Dillon Amphitheater. Staff is friendly always working. Breakfast was more than ample. Highly recommend the stay. Dog friendly

Great location right by Lake Dillon. Close to ski resorts and lots of food options nearby.

Fabulous location next to the lake and the Dillon Amphitheater. Close to restaurants and stores. The beds were comfortable and the room clean. Overall, the grounds and hotel was very quiet. We will be back!

Enjoyed the view and location.

Perfect! Perfect location by Dillon Lake & amphitheater. Comfortable clean rooms, nice pillows, nice staff, really great breakfast!

the breakfast was great. The staff kept things clean and filled.

Best breakfast of the Best Western I have ever lived.

The room was clean, and the building was quiet. Breakfast was more than adequate and there was plenty of seating for everyone. Thank you!

Despite the area for the breakfast is too small, it gets crowded for not so long. The staff replenishes the items very quickly and keep the area clean. The guests don't have to wait for so long as the tables are free and clear quickly. The staff is very friendly. The lodge is next to the reservoir, which provides a scenic view and invites for a morning walk. Dillon is located close to many ski resorts. I'd definitively return for future trips.

The rooms were super clean, the staff awesome. Breakfast was great with a lot of options and good coffee (which is so rare at hotels). The view is beautiful! The hot tub nice and big and well maintained. Can’t say enough great things about this place.

Clean room and very nice accommodations for the price. Breakfast is great.

Very good selection at breakfast, great view, easy parking.

Awesome every time! Breakfast is the best
