TLDR
Hotel Horror: A viral Reddit post sparked debate after the Westin Puerto Vallarta denied a late checkout to a guest during a cartel emergency
Coffee Maker PSA: Do NOT use hotel coffee makers for anything but coffee—apparently, cleaning underwear in them is an old "trick" some travelers use.
Vail Residences Review: These condos range from 2 to 5 bedrooms and provide full access to Grand Hyatt amenities like the pool, hot tubs, and ski valet.
Condo Pro-Tip: They provide luxury robes, but you must bring your own slippers/slides as the hotel won't supply them to the Cascade residences.
The "Warming Hut": A standout feature at the lift where guests get complimentary daily treats like hot apple cider and s'mores.
Skiing Advice: For beginners, Beaver Creek is superior because it funnels all skiers back to the same area, whereas Vail is massive and easy to get lost in.
