About this place Best Western Ptarmigan Lodge

Best Western Ptarmigan Lodge is a mainstream chain hotel on Lake Dillon Drive in Dillon, Colorado, a short walk from Dillon Reservoir and the marina. It is gay-friendly in the ordinary sense, not a gay venue. In winter it is a base for Summit County skiing at Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper Mountain and Arapahoe Basin, all within a short drive; in summer the draws are boating, cycling paths and hiking. It rates 4.3 on Google from about 1,300 reviews. Phone (970) 468-2341. Dillon sits at around 2,700 metres, so take it easy on the first day and drink plenty of water. Breckenridge has the most nightlife in the area.

Great location. Clean room. Very good breakfast .Reasonable price. Just be aware there is no AC, only heat, so if your room is warm or hot, leave a window open and keep bathroom vent fan on. Gets nice and cool at night...

Outstanding Hospitality & The Perfect Base for Outdoor Adventures! We had a wonderful stay at this Best Western! From the moment we checked in, the front desk team was exceptionally helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Knowing we had an early morning hike planned, the staff went above and beyond by having coffee and breakfast set out a full hour early for us—a thoughtful touch that truly set our day up for success. The room was spotlessly clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable after a long day out. Fantastic location paired with amazing hospitality. We will definitely be back!

Overpriced and outdated. No ac and even with windows open and fan on I was unable to get any cool air flowing into the room. Inside smells weird and reminds me of the smell of an elementary school from the 90s. Key cards kept not working and I would have to go to the main office to get them reprogrammed. They told me it was my fault at first and that I probably had the key next to a magnet. Third time they let it slip that this is a common occurrence and I also ran into other guests that were unable to get into their building for the same reason. I would rather spend more and stay somewhere that has been updated in the last 30 years. The fact that the name "Best Western" is on this hotel is hilarious. It's a run down motel.

Unfortunately I didn’t realize this property didn’t have air conditioning prior to booking (non refundable) so I tried to make it work but it was miserable and I slept very little. The only fan in the room was a ceiling fan off in a corner (not even over the beds) and I didn’t want to leave the windows open overnight because I was on the ground level and traveling alone. The beds and pillows were comfortable. Property was clean but dated. Views were nice but that was it.
