The Sebastian - Vail

Guests lauded the clean, well-maintained rooms and convenient location. They appreciated the comfortable beds and spacious suites, along with excellent, friendly service from the staff.

We recently stayed at this hotel while attending a wedding, choosing to extend our stay to explore Vail. Unfortunately, our experience was consistently disappointing, and I feel compelled to share the full scope of what occurred. However, I will say that the staff definitely made the stay more pleasant and tried to accommodate the best they could hence giving it 4 stars. In addition, there were several members of the staff that agree there are issues at the hotel. 1. Reservation Issues We had a room block for the wedding, but the booking link did not work properly. Around January 2025, I called the hotel directly. A staff member assisted me and provided a confirmation number, but I never received a confirmation email. When I followed up, the second representative couldn’t find any reservation under my name. If I hadn’t double-checked, I would’ve arrived with no room reserved. This was both frustrating and stressful given the nature of our trip. 2. A/C Problems Upon arrival, we discovered the air conditioning wasn’t working—and no one informed us at check-in. Only when we asked at the front desk were we told it would be fixed the next day. It took two full days, and even then, it never cooled below 71 degrees (despite being set to 65). We had to sleep with the windows open, which only opened 4–5 inches and faced a busy road. Traffic noise and warm temperatures made for uncomfortable nights. Others from the wedding party also had to be moved due to extremely hot rooms. 3. Bellman & Room Upgrade Confusion Victor, the bellman, was excellent—friendly, informative, and welcoming. We appreciated his tips. However, we never received the water we requested to be sent to our room. I had upgraded our room but wasn’t informed of what the upgrade entailed. When Victor showed us in, the connecting room was unlocked, so he left it open, assuming it was part of the upgrade because we didn't know what the upgrade included. We didn’t use it, except to take the water that was there since ours never arrived. Kimberly later kindly provided bottled water from the lobby when we walked down to request it. 4. Concierge Unavailable We attempted to reach the concierge, Steve, multiple times, both in person and via phone. He was never at the desk when we asked, and despite leaving messages, he never returned our calls. 5. Room Assignment Mix-Up Robert from the hotel called about the attached room, but I missed his call and returned it shortly after. He was busy, so I hung up and went to the lobby—only to overhear him discussing my situation with the mother of the bride (MOB). He incorrectly assumed we thought the extra room was ours and stated it was meant for her mother, who had to have her room switched three times. He also claimed it was a handicap-accessible room, which I confirmed it was not after personally showing the MOB. Another person attending the wedding heard be at the desk and said I ditto everything she said, she was having the same frustrating experi
