Remember my four top priorities for a hotel? Let's see how our Vail hotel choice measures up...

The Sonnenalp definitely wins a prize for location. Nestled in the heart of Vail Village, The Sonnenalp is as charming as it gets.. the exterior is absolutely beautiful!

The view from our balcony...

I'm pretty sure I got every single possible angle... 

Just across the street from the hotel looks like this...

I felt like Dorothy skipping down the yellow brick road on my morning walks!

I'll confess, the outside is more appealing than the inside for me, but the hotel is a winner regardless. So how does the Sonnenalp measure up with regards to my grading system? 

• The bed? Comfortable enough (sheets could be softer...)

• The bathroom/shower? Amazing (major massaging jets)

• The location? Primo

• Clean? Yes indeed

Overall, a wonderful resort with great appeal!
