We
stayed
at
the
Ritz
Carlton
Residences
during
the
busy
Christmas
week.
The
facility
is
lovely,
conveniently
located
and
the
staff
worked
hard
to
deliver
services
and
problem
solve
when
needed.
I
have
two
suggestions
from
my
experience.
The
concierge
team
works
very
hard
to
help
the
families
assigned
to
them.
Getting
restaurant
and
activity
reservations
during
the
holiday
season
is
difficult
and
requires
understanding
that
reservations
for
most
places
are
opened
30
days
prior
to
the
date
and
are
filled
hours
after
opening.
In
my
experience,
going
through
a
concierge
often
gives
an
advantage
due
to
their
relationships
with
restaurants
and
activity
providers.
This
is
not
true
in
this
case.
Each
concierge
is
assigned
to
serve
>100
families
during
the
holiday
season
and
are
trying
to
get
all
of
them
reservations.
I
found
that
it
was
more
effective
to
get
recommendations
from
them
and
call
or
use
Opentable
myself.
My
second
suggestion
is
to
be
careful
who
you
are
booking
your
stay
with.
You
can
either
book
directly
with
the
Ritz
Carlton
residences
or
with
the
organization
that
rents
owner
offered
units
for
rent.
(
cant
remember
name)
I
booked
through
the
second
option.
In
the
end
this
was
a
mistake.
Given
the
significant
acceleration
of
Covid
infection
and
our
families
health
situation,
we
sought
to
reschedule
our
stay.
After
a
lot
of
discussion
and
escalating
many
levels
up
through
the
organization,
we
were
told
"
If
you
had
booked
directly
with
Ritz
Carlton
this
could
be
arranged
and
in
fact
families
were
allowed
to
cancel
because
there
wasn't
enough
snow
this
year.
We
were
also
told
"It
will
be
fine
and
you
can't
cancel
due
to
fear
of
something
that
hasn't
happened"
Members
of
our
family
cancelled
due
to
being
in
high
risk
health
categories.
It
was
not
okay
at
all,
restaurants
closed,
cancelled
all
take
out
service
and
had
terrible
service
issues
due
to
so
many
covid
positive
associates,
our
ski
lessons
were
cancelled
and
we
had
to
scramble
to
get
other
lessons
for
the
same
reason.
Our
ride
to
the
airport
had
to
be
rescheduled
because
the
service
has
so
many
people
out
sick.
A
member
of
the
staff,
said
"
I
woke
up
this
morning,
thinking
that
you
were
right
that
it
would
be
better
to
cancel
and
felt
badly
that
you
weren't
allowed
to."
This
was
in
no
way
the
fault
of
the
wonderful
team
at
the
Ritz
Carlton.
Take
away
is
always
book
directly
with
the
hotel
or
facility
management.
Do
not
use
other
travel
services.
