The Village At Squaw Valley

The location is spectacular but because of that, they get away with charging 5 star prices and delivering a 2 star experience. It’s basically a tied and dated roadside holiday inn. The staff are nice but have no idea what they are doing and not very helpful. It’s a terrible value but you get to stay at the base of the mountain.

One-bedroom condo very tiny without dresser or storage space for ski clothes. Common areas very outdated, esp fitness room. Loud throughout the night on parking lot side but hot w/o windows open. But can’t beat the location in the village.

We were there for a wedding. The rooms are very dated. The elevator in our building made a very loud and prolonged vibration every time we rode in it - it felt unsafe. When we checked in, I asked "are we overlooking the parking lot?" and the guy said no, but when we got to our room, it was indeed overlooking the parking lot and there was a bus that stopped about every 5-10 minutes right under our window and made a loud beeping sound. Luckily the property was not sold out, and we were able to change rooms. What was odd was that the day before we arrived, they called and said "good news! We've upgraded you to a 2 bedroom!" which was what the parking lot room was, but when we asked to not overlook the lot, they put us in a smaller room. That's fine, but the whole thing was kind of odd. We had a slight discount because of the wedding block rate, but we still paid over $300/night (in the off season!), and it's not even remotely worth that. I doubt I'll be returning to this property. It is just really poorly maintained. Really the only plus about this property is the location.
