Another note of thanks for posting about the free underground parking garage - saved parking fees over a 2 night stay. We parked in the Gerald Ford lot, and ran into a valet when going up the stairs and he mentioned that there is no overnight parking in the free public garage. We checked and found no signage restricting overnight parking and we didnt have a problem parking overnight in the public lot for 2 nights. Great tip! ^
The hotel itself was so-so: we were coming from the Westin which is a truly beautiful resort. The PH in comparison seems run-down (although some might prefer the location in the center of Beaver Creek). The breakfast buffet on the first day was disappointing, esp the omelet station. We ordered off the menu the second day and had a much better experience.
Overall, the hotel was average - I would say it is probably not deserving of the PH flag.

Yes, the latter. I emailed the city office and confirmed no overnight parking.

You would have my condolences but don't call if you get towed, but it appeared we were nowhere near the only people parking overnight. Some of the hotels did not seem to have their own parking facility and that was the only garage that was open. Then again we were there on a very slow weekend, and from how much the rate has gone up that has changed. Guess all of Texas is sick of being in Texas in July and went to Colorado. Maybe drive by and ask the guy on the non-hotel side first, or see if there is a sign.

Spent another memorial day weekend there - hotel service was great all around - never had to wait more than a few minutes for any housekeeping items, room service etc. Restaurant service improved since last year but food selection and quality remain pretty below average for the price. I assume the kitchen is staffed by temps in the off season. They have mid week special - an entree + glass of wine for $20 (was not available when i was there). The spa has specials as well - $100 for 50 min and a few others. The only complaint i have is about their basic internet quality - it was incredibly slow. Not sure if premium one is included for diamonds but i would suggest using that one. Underground parking was free - enter Gerald Ford lot, park all the way at the end and walk out on the other side - PH elevator will be to the left just past valet entrance.
Note that right now there is a lot of construction outside - not noisy but lots of workers and equipment.

The side effect is that service quality (especially at the restaurant) goes down significantly - they seem to hire a lot of temps during shoulder season.
Also the weather can be quite unpredictable - it actually snowed briefly this year.

Has anyone tried using a diamond suite upgrade?
We're considering a one night Stay on a Friday night, skiing Saturday and then heading back to Denver for Saturday night.
Would this be a good choice for my family...this will be my boys first time skiing...they are 5 1/2 and 7.
Thanks for any input.

No, because it won't work.
Upgrade awards are not available at Hyatt Regency Kyoto, Hyatt Regency Paris-Madeleine, Park Hyatt Sydney and Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort, Hyatt Place, Hyatt Summerfield Suites or Hyatt Residence Group resorts.

How about any ideas to get a good rate? Looks like AAA rate is $539 in low season Feb, and includes breakfast - but there's a mandatory resort charge for internet, water, etc - so what benefits to Diamonds get?

It's kind of painful, if you are on a paid stay, to pay a resort fee for things that are already complimentary for diamonds, like internet, fitness center, and a bottle of water.
