Great Divide Lodge

Pros: Walking distance to Peak 9 base, comfortable rooms.
Cons: Slow service, strange layout for hotel.

We stayed at Great Divide Lodge for 4 nights during New Year's Weekend 2001-2002. It was difficult finding much information about the hotel online so I was a bit concerned about the quality of the property after I booked, especially so because I heard...

Pros: Staff!!! Staff!!! Bell Staff!!! Breck's Lounge Staff!!!
Cons: Rooms are not that luxurious.

Getting to Breckenridge was pretty hard. The road was almost closed because of the snow, so we got to the Great Divide Lodge almost at midnight. The hotel is very friendly, but the room was dark, a little dirty and the elevators system sucks. The second ...

Pros: Slope-side
Cons: Horrible layout & parking

This lodge says it's a 4-star lodge, but I'm not sure who's rankings that's based on. The inside is nice but nothing special; and they cut a lot of corners in decorating, hotel layout, parking layout, etc. The layout of the hotel requires you to take 2...

Pros: Close to slopes, ski rental station inside the hotel
Cons: Service, distance from Main St.

The hotel is good for skiiers with average demands - very close to peak 9 lift, ski rental / storage station inside the hotel. They have only one employee for storage / bell boy service, si you need to wait to store your ski.
The service is VERY average. At 3:55pm we called to order dine in and were told that dine in service starts from 4pm. We also asked if it will be possible to check out later than 11am - 3 representatives gave us 3 different answers. Eventually, I had to argue to get check out at 1pm.
Bar is lousy - no good selection of drinks available.
10min walking distance from historic Main str, which is OK unless it is extremely cold outside.
To get to the rooms on 8+ floor, you need to switch 2 elevators, which is not convenient
