Park City / Prospector Lodge Trip Report
"Mark T. Mueller" wrote:
The ONLY dark spot on the trip was the accomodations. We arranged travel through MountainVacations.com, and I am not sure I would ever use them again. We stayed at the Prospector Lodge, and I think it would be fair to say we paid far more than what the room was worth... We documented the following problems with the Prospector Lodge: 1) Bed had no mattress pad. 2) Bed sheets never changed during entire week. 3) Floor never vacuumed during entire week. 4) Shower stall never cleaned during entire week. 5) Irregular towel service (sometimes had to ask, sometimes no washclothes, etc...) 6) Trash not removed every day. 7) Sidewalks never cleared, very icy, you couldn't even carry your bags from Reception to our building without great difficulty (I hope if, god forbid, someone gets hurt they sue, they deserve it!!!) 8) Broken window blinds, no drapes, very light in room at night. 9) Drinking glasses never cleaned or replaced, no coffee cups (even though there was a coffee maker.) 10) No water for shower after skiing on 31 Jan and 1 Feb (entire building did not have water.) 11) Furniture in disrepair (knobs on dressers fall off, drawers hard to open.) 12) MountainVactions.com website states "4th night free valid November 22, 2003-January 11, 2004, January 25, 2004 - April 8, 2004", did not appear to be reflected in the price we paid. Except for the snow-related stuff, that sounds like the hotel we spent 2 weeks in in Paris because our business host had made the reservation. In addition, we had drunken Algerian day-workers guffawing at French-dubbed American cartoons just outside the room, over whom we had to crawl if we wanted to take a bath down the hall, which we mostly didn't after one of them barfed in the tub. In addition, the bed"spring" was a sort of metal net with 4-point suspension and they thriftily saved the price of pillowcases by folding the bottom sheet up over the pillow and tucking it in. We also had to ask for extra toilet paper if we used more than 5 sheets/person/day, and they were those cheesy individual folded-up sheets that you sometimes find in public restrooms. The best thing about it was gobbling up all the morning croissants for the entire floor before the rest of the guests woke up. -- Cheers, Bev ================================================== = "I love deadlines... especially the whooshing sound they make as they go by." -Douglas Adams |

Interesting that my original post appears to have "disappeared" from the server... Curious... Not really. Try a server with longer retention. It's still on the free German server.
