Worst Vacation Ever

If I could give this place half a star, I would. I just came back from the resort on a class trip and it was the THE WORST vacation experience that i have ever encountered. Nothing was free. It seemed as if they wanted to make a profit on everything. Even on heat. Of all places, you would expect a hotel that's located on a snowy mountain to have a decent heating system. Instead, the hallways were so freezing I was able to see my breath in the air. In addition, the hallways smelled. Imagine an aroma containing a mixture of smoke and dirty diapers. The rooms were clean but were nothing special. The rooms were nothing more than the rooms of an average motel. There were hardly any activities there besides the ones that cost money (a lot of money by the way). One example of a "fun-filled" activity is shuffle board, which only reminded me of a nursing home activity. The food was ok, but the service was TERRIBLE. One morning, I went to the restaurant for breakfast and I had to wait for 40 minutes before a waiter actually took my order. The waiter would disappear for 15 minutes, and when he did appear again, I would ask him when he or someone else would take my order. The waiter just kept saying that someone will be with me in a minute, but no one did. When I finally got my order down, I had to wait another half an hour for the waiter to appear with my food. During another meal, my friend asked our waitress for orange juice and she snapped back in an annoying/mean tone, "I'll be there with you soon." Well, she kept her promise, though "soon" meant 15 minutes later. They also lie about things that they say are included in the activities, such as the ski package. I never got the helmet, goggles, or ski poles that were stated on the paper. They also did not have ice skating even though they said they would. I only spent $**for 2 nights because it was a class trip, but honestly, it was not even worth $**especially since they force you to pay for everything else. In conclusion, DON'T GO HERE! I sure won't make that mistake ever again.
Villa Roma shows stretch marks due to age

My family and I have been going to Villa Roma for almost 20 years now and we have watched a sharp decline in the facility over the past 6 years. Their was a fire that destroyed their main building which housed their beautiful lobby, bar and cafe. They are builing a new facility which looks good on paper. The problem is the overall hotel looks old and outdated and though they are addressing their remodeling needs, they cannot catch up to the many needs of the orgainization. I would say it is still a great place to bring your kids for the week. I am in my 20s and I would say that anyone in your 20's without children are going to be bored to tears and will be stationed at the bar for the duration of your stay.

The Place was fabulous! Everything imaginable was at your disposal. I can honestly say that we were never bored. There always seemed to be something to keep me busy, if it wasn''t glorious walks along the property, it might have been swimming in their luxurious pool, or even just basking in the hot tub in a semi-slumber. The decor of the Villa Roma is beautiful and stylish. As soon as you walk into the main lobby, your mouth will drop open due to the splendor. The service is wonderful, the rooms are tidy as can be (they supply mini bottles of shampoo/conditioner and soap), there are hair dryers in each room (so no need to pack one), in short - everything was at your disposal. While staying here, you will feel more relaxed than you thought possible. Definitly a lap of luxury without paying an exorborant amount of money - it is worth every penny they charge.
