This was not our first stay at the Christi Lodge. We are RCI members so knew exactly what we were getting. The Christi Lodge isn't the Ritz but it has everything you need and there is no better value for the money near the beautiful Beaver Creek ski area. The small Kitchenette had everything we needed and the bus to the Village stopping right at the entrance is fantastic and it's FREE. When we first checked in the room they gave us smelled of pot but they quickly moved us. I highly recommend asking for a room on the first floor. Dealing with skis and poles on the upper floors is a pain. Overall an excellent value and the Vietnamese restaurant on the first level is the bomb!
We had a wonderful time here as always. Christie Lodge is very convenient to everything! Buses, apres ski, services, food! Rental car, ski shop, two restaurants in the building.
