After staying at a few other "Grand Summit" slope-side hotels I thought I knew what to expect. But the Mount Snow Grand Summit is older and more like basic ski accommodations. The restaurant in the restaurant is passable, but stick to the burgers. This is a solid basic ski accommodation. The walls are paper thin - so expect to be annoyed if you are an early sleeper (like we are - we are here to ski - not to party).

The location is great, the staff is great, but dont expect luxury. If you know the Kaaatskill Mountain hotel at Hunter Mountain...this is no where near the luxury of that.

The paper thin walls and floors were a minor annoyance...but the major reason why I would give this place 2 starts instead of three is something that sounds really stupid...but soooooooo annoying. Ski accommodations need hooks. A two person room should have at least 6 hooks and a four person room should have 12 hooks. Ski gear hangs on hooks. That is the way it works. ALL SKI HOTELS MUST HAVE HOOKS...Unfortunately the Mt Snow Summit Grand Hotel has no hooks in the rooms...a major annoyance...I know it sounds petty. But the fact that they don't have hooks shows that they just don't get it..they don't understand how skiers live. I am sure all the real skiers can relate..hooks are all we need in a room.

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.
