Lake Dillon Condominiums — Local services in Dillon

We stayed in #105 on the ground floor. The place just plain smelled bad! It was musty, smokey, and didn't look like it had been redecorated since the 60's. The smell was just awful, and when we booked, they said it was a smoking unit, but a non-smoking couple was renting it for the month before us, so there should be no odor.||The bed was one of the hardest and most uncomfortable I've been in, and the pillows were really flat and worn.||The water in the shower went from scalding to cold quite a lot, and there was mildew in the shower.||The toilet didn't work well, and we had to hold the handle down (both bathrooms).||I would have complained to management, but they weren't there when we checked in, nor when we checked out, nor the other 2 times I tried. And this was during thier posted hours they were to be open.||It was a real pity, as the location was great. Just a few blocks from downtown, and the view was hard to beat. There's a big long community porch with plastic tables and chairs, plus gas grills for use by the guests.||The main door opens into the one bedroom. The unit is long and thin, with one queen (king?) bed, and one twin in the bedroom, TV, end tables, and a private bath and door leading to the hallway.||There is a 1/2 bath in the hallway, then the small kitchen, and big bar with 8 stools. There was a sofa, a loveseat, and a chair, with a few end tables and coffee table and TV.||The unit had a fully equiped kitchen, which we didn't use.||Just beware if you book a unit.

As soon as I can post a photo, I will. The views of the lake are amazing, especially from the top floor. Full disclosure: my parents have owned a top floor condo for more than 15 years. One thing you should know about these condos are that all units are individually owned, and truly it is up to the owner to do any major renovations, etc. If the owner is not local (at least somewhere in CO where they can check on it occasionally), then you might end up with a less than stellar unit. This does not excuse poor everyday maintenance and cleaning. Owners can choose to have their units in the rental pool or not.||||The condo itself is probably one of the older ones in the area, but you simply cannot beat the views and the location (walk right out onto the path that goes around the lake, walk to downtown Dillon, minutes from the highway and other Silverthorne retail, etc). A perfect central location for Summit County and all the main ski areas in the winter. ...

We had a family group of 10 that stayed at Lake Dillon Condominiums over Spring Break. Four parents and our adult children. We were assessed a $65 additional cleaning charge and a $32.50 reservation booking fee. When I called to dispute the charges, I was told the room was "trashed" and there was nothing they could do. We are responsible people and the room wasn't trashed, it had been lived in for 5 days and obviously needed cleaning. When I asked for their definition of trashed, I was read the portion of the rental agreement allowing them to charge us for additional cleaning, etc.||||I think this was an additional profit center that was added. We won't be back. By the way, these two families have been doing this same vacation for 15 years and we have never had anything like this added.||||Watch out for the Summit Resort Group and Lake Dillon...
