#FAIRMONT FRANZ KLAMMER LODGE WINDOWS#

We are in fact a residence club that provides our ownership with an optional rental program. Your statement that Franz Klammer Lodge is not a normal hotel is very accurate. Typically the summer nights dip into the low 40s, providing our residences with excellent and environmentally friendly, passive cooling. The average high temperature for the months of June, July and August are 71, 76 and 73 degrees respectfully. It was a gorgeous weekend! As you stated, our summer months are typically very mild with cool nights and mild afternoons. Naturally, we sincerely regret any discomfort that you may have experienced as a result of the unusually hot and cloudless weather that we experienced over the 4th of July. We appreciate your 5 star service and location ratings. Thank you very much for acknowledging the great staff of Fairmont Heritage Place, Franz Klammer Lodge and the team’s effort to make you comfortable. Great restaurant, air conditioning, a real hotel. My grandmother stayed there and it's second to none. I am sure this is a nice place to stay during the winter but for the Summer Months I do not recommend the hotel. Be aware that the line becomes about an hour long and you cannot see any fireworks from Mountain Village.

The location is great for access to the gondola which you have to get on in order to get to town to see the fireworks on July 4th. We asked for more towels and they left all the dirty ones and just set piles of clean ones on the bench in the foyer. You truly are on your own unless you call and ask someone to come in and do it but be specific. I guess my point is we didn't stay at a high end hotel to feel like we were camping!!!!!!!!!! This is not a normal hotel where you have your towels changed, trash taken out, beds made. Honestly, even when it was cool outside we woke up with sore throats because the air temp can't be regulated. If you do stay here in the summer months DO NOT STAY ON THE 1ST FLOOR! The higher up the better for a chance at the breeze.

We had fans in front of doors and windows to try and circulate some air but when you have all the windows open you encounter bad allergens coming in and of course smoke from smokers passing by. The summer months should be fairly mild in Colorado, but this past week was not mild. I wish I had a read a review that said something about this. The staff is great! They tried to make things work for us but if you don't have AC and it's 90 outside there isn't a lot that can be done.

We will definitely return for a longer stay. The price also includes transportation to/from Montrose Airport which is about 90 minutes away. The nightly price is steep but its perfect for 2 couples or a family. There is a small spa with excellent services that were very reasonably priced (lower than resort spa prices because they said they operate as a service for the owners, not as a profit center). Both bedrooms were master suites with great spa tubs (both had views as well). In advance of your stay, Fairmont will do all your grocery shopping or the local store is only a gondola ride away (fun way to shop). The room was well appointed with a Wolf range and a Subzero fridge as well as a host of pans and basic seasonings. The service was terrific throughout the hotel.

There was a hot tub deck at the end of the hall with a BBQ area and a fair number of people just picked up steaks did a quick grill and headed back to their room.

The view from the room was stunning (you want to ensure you have a room on the 4th or 5th floor looking down the valley (away from the village)). I was very pleasantly surprised with the Franz Klammer.
