Just attended a New Years Party at the Grand Summit .... worst event I ever attended. This party started at 10pm; there was an earlier dinner buffet party in the room that this party was being held. when we arrived the room had not been cleaned and reset, dirty dishes ,glasses leftover food on all the tables. The light food for this second party was leftover hor'devores, cake , coffee and some soft drinks!!
No party favors were given and after awhile the staff let anyone in ; no longer checking who payed and who didn't.

The only good thing was that we could leave at midnight as we were not stay at the hotel; could only imagine how bad my stay would have been based on this one event!!

We booked this lodge style hotel through RCI Exchange. My husband & I stayed the week
of Aug. 21/2011. We got a very nice suite, adjoining rooms with a bedroom and kitchen/
living room area. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was equipped with everything you
need to prepare a full meal. We enjoyed the outdoor heated pool, sauna and spa/message.
The workout room was well equipped and had yoga and aerobic classes scheduled throughout the week. We enjoyed the early morning walks and being in the mountains
we did need a sweater in the morning and evenings. The hotel provides with a listing of
all the restaurants and activities in the area. I must comment that the staff was very friendly and helpful and we appreciated the valet parking. The only drawback for me was that there wasn't much in the way of shopping, we went to the little town of Wilmington for groceries and
we liked the flee market on Saturdays & Sundays. For outlet shopping you have to drive one hour to either Manchester or Bennington. By the way, do bring with you the mosquitoes and black flys repellent, I get a very bad allergic reaction and forgot to bring the Off Deep Woods and calmine lotion, I found them at the Shop Rite Drug store in Wilmington. Nevertheless we enjoy all our vacations, we make the best with what we get!!

Hotel is one of those "just fine" type of places; nothing horrible, nothing really outstanding. Property is well maintained; rooms are decent size. It's not particularly fancy; about like a typical Best Western hotel. It's really stretched out - hallways are very long. Small balcony with sitting area. Flat screen TV but minimal channel choice. Coffee maker. Fitness center is better than most properties of this level; also an outside pool. Restaurant is so-so. We found the onsite deli to be a better choice, but it closes mid-afternoon. Bar on site. We had massages at the spa; massage therapists were good. Great fireplaces / sitting areas (although small) in the lobby. Good hiking just outside the doors.

The Grand Summit Hotel at Mt. Snow is a beautiful lodge style hotel with very nice rooms. As part of an RCI timeshare swap we got what was called a mini-suite. (kitchen/dining area, living room area, separate bedroom, two baths, AC.) As with all hotels of this stature, there was lovely outdoor pool, workout room, and a library, along with various areas to just sit and talk. I imagine that during the winter ski season, pretty much all of this comes in not only handy, but at a premium.
My wife and I are not skiers, hence the off season booking. The golf was excellent. And as far as a place to get away from it all, this was wonderful. Very scenic, views, very good staff and maintenance people. So if you're idea of a vacation is relaxing, maybe reading a good book, even after taking a dip in the pool. This is the place for you.
Now, the caveats: One of the reasons that we booked this hotel was that we were told that, in addition to golf for me, there'd be shopping for my wife. Shopping, within a twenty five mile radius, consists of a lovely souvenir shop, a Rite Aid Pharmacy, and a supermarket. There are actual shopping venues in two directions but each is close to an hour away. There were some nice restaurants though, and our best meals of the week were at The Hermitage, 1846 and a luncheonette called Dots of Dover. I'll save my final caveat for the Restaurants section.
