Grand Summit Resort Hotel

The location cannot be beat. I was fortunate to have a mountain-​facing room — so I was able to see the reflection of the sunrise off the snow. Yes, the night that I left the curtains open, I could also see the lights of the groomers — but that was no bother to me.
The room that I stayed in was an efficiency, complete with a Murphy bed and a small kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, coffeemaker, and plates/​forks/​knives, etc). A great way to inexpensively stay right on the mountain side. The bed was what you might expect for a pull-​out, but after a day on the slopes, I could have slept anywhere. Otherwise the hotel was clean, accessible — and the staff super friendly.
You can walk out the back door of the hotel and right up to a lift toward the Greens/​Blues. There is a valet for your skis/​board — so that you don’t have to drag them through the hotel. Overall, I was totally happy with my stay. A nice spot for a weekend away.
If you are looking for a place that is kid-​free, this is not the place.

Grand Bedbug Hotel! Stayed there on Christmas but turned out to be a nightmare from hell! Great service but infested with bedbugs. One of the worst nights I’ve ever had. Found bedbugs crawling in the bathtub, walls, chairs, beds, pillows. They ate me alive! Killed about 12 before getting out of there. Informed management and left that place forever. Take care of your loved ones and stay somewhere else.

I’m not a skier, nor do I play one on TV. But I recently attended a wedding held at the Grand Summit, and I suppose I would have been able to get the full experience had I gone during ski season, as well as knowing what to even do about it. But the hotel was a solid choice for a fall wedding against the trees, and I enjoyed my stay.
The rooms all have kitchenettes, so my suggestion would be to bring your own food if possible. You’ve got the stove, oven, dishwasher, and fridge at your disposal (no pun intended). Had we known we would have all this available, we would have at least brought a box of cereal and almond milk at the most possible minimum. Granted, this was our own fault for not doing adequate research before leaving, but I digress. Don’t do what I did, bring food and take advantage of the kitchen! The other option is to visit the general store in town and bring the food back to your room. Whatever you choose, the end result should be the same. The rest of the room was lovely, and the Murphy bed descended right out of the wall. I did worry that the bed would fold back up with me in it, but it didn’t happen, and it’s a huge sign that I watch way too much TV.
The best thing to do year round is to take a ride on the scenic chairlift. For $ 15, adults age 19 – 64 can take a round trip up to the top of the mountain and take in some truly amazing views. Nature is the best, seriously. When there’s wind, the chairlift has a windshield that can close down to your liking. You get to feel like you’re flying up the mountain in a fancy space pod. Once at the top, you can get a drink at the Bullwheel tavern and sit on the patio and continue to drool over the mountain. The ride down gives you a view of houses that remind you of the opening scenes from «The Sound of Music», and who doesn’t want to say that the hills are alive and actually mean it?
I’m not sure when I’ll have the opportunity to return to ski country, but I enjoyed my stay at the Grand Summit on the whole. I still don’t think I’ll be signing up for ski lessons any time soon, but that mountain covered in snow? Sign me up for the scenic chairlift.

Summer on the mountain. The place is run down pool area is small not enough Lounge chairs and pool is small; to add to it you are hidden away behind a six foot high wood stockade fence, feels really claustrophobic. Staff seems nice.

We have been season ski pass holders at Mt. Snow for a number of years, and whenever we stay overnight we stay at the Grand Summit. It is much improved and the best place to stay in the area considering location. All the rooms have recently been renovated. For those rooms with a kitchen they now have stainless steel appliances and all rooms have new linens, fresh paint, and new furniture. The rooms are now very nice.
You can not beat the ski-​in, ski-​out location right on the mountain. Just a few steps to the new bubble lift to the peak. They offer valet car service and ski check to make things easier.
The outdoor pool is huge and heated year ’round. There are also two very large outdoor hot tubs. Few things beat the warm pool after a day of skiing. There is a full gym, but no indoor swimming area.
My wife has used the spa and found the masseuse she had to be very good. In general the staff is friendly and helpful.
In room wireless internet has consistently good connections and fast speed.
Overall, if you are there to ski, it is tough to find a better choice.

As usual Grand Summit is awesome. Great food at Harrimans, rooms are cleans, staff is friendly. Now if it was only snowing now !

The Grand Summit Resort Hotel is a sprawling facility with something for everyone – spa, game room, pool, etc. It’s an older building (can tell by the creakiness of the floors), but very well-​maintained. The marketplace offers a nice breakfast (or snacks throughout the day), and the staff were all very friendly. We were there during «mud season» (before the late spring/​early summer tourist season starts), so it wasn’t very crowded and many surrounding restaurants weren’t open. The only downside was the limited parking out front and the need to park down a winding downhill road in a dirt parking lot (which is certainly not appropriate for professional meetings when it is wet/​raining).

If it’s may don’t stay in west Dover at Grand Summit Vermont.
I have stayed here at least half a dozen times in the past four years most of those times have been in the summer or the fall. This was a first for spring. skiing season just ended two weeks ago here and there still snow on the mountain tops of Mount Snow. I don’t ski but I’m not much for winter sports I prefer summer sports so I basically come here from New York City to chill out. We expected that the restaurant would be closed and many area attractions would be closed this time of year and that was fine. However what we did not expect was the service or lack thereof at the grand Summit Lodge where I have a timeshare. We actually have three units this week and there are five of us staying all women.
We’re mostly from New York City so we really just wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle in the noise and breathe some fresh air in the green mountains of Vermont.
I booked this as an exchange through Rci and we each had one bedroom and studio units which are nicely appointed. The beds are very comfortable and it’s a usable kitchenette and the Murphy bed is very comfortable.
As I said it was very quiet here or so I thought.
First it’s a large lodge. Kind of feels like the shining and spring I expected for Jack Nicholson to jump out around the corner at me. Or at least have some big wheeled bicycles and a couple of twins asking me to come join them.
But what really was scary about this trip was at first we had some construction workers staying here and they put them on top of us and they were pouncing on the on the floor all morning at 6 AM.
Then they decided to test the in room fire alarms which are excruciatingly loud at 9 AM for three or more days in a row at several intermites.
Then they forgot to clean our room several days in a row or leave towels or anything else.
All that was fine and well but then they started doing construction in the one whole way out of many that we happen to be staying in.
When we arrived back to our unit from a day out here they were spraying chemicals and putting together construction on furniture in the hallways.
So far and we are still here we’re lucky not to of been sent to the hospital.
As of yet they have not compensated us for any of these incidents.
Because of this I do not recommend that you come here in the spring in May or even June.
If you come anytime from June through October it will be many weddings taking place here on each weekend and the cars and motorcycles are numerous and it’s very difficult park and the parties continue after after midnight. However during the week it’s like a ghost town.
I stayed here before and have enjoyed my visits as long as it’s not in the spring. When Harrimans restaurant is open it is excellent and have many different craft beers and local food it is Farm to table restaurant. However that is not open in May.
There’s a huge pool and several hot tubs located outside that are open till 9 PM as well as a game room and owners library adding owners lounge that is accessible with your room Key.
There is a 70 inch flat screen TV in the owners lounge that is available for use if you get there first. As well as a full kitchen couches and games that you are able to utilize for your family or friends.

Luxury you are not, Grand Summit, but nice you surely are. It was just two of us, so no need to rent a house or condo, and this is the nicest hotel on the mountain.
Upon arrival you have the option to valet park or park in a small lot. We only had to opt for the valet once during our week stay.
You check your skis/​boards in the lobby which is nice. Our stay included a daily breakfast (choice of buffet or something quick in the café.) We did the buffet everyday and I highly recommend it. There were pastries, muffins, yogurt, fruit, eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and French toast or pancakes. They also had cereal, bagels, oatmeal and the likes. During the majority of breakfasts we got stuck near tables whose occupants were absent on during the inside voices lesson in 1^st grade (hi «diva table!»)but that is through no fault of the hotel.
The staff was friendly if not a bit clueless at times (as others have mentioned).
The rooms were pretty spartan but clean. They could use an upgrade from their 80s décor, but I felt it really added to the charm of the whole experience.
Each morning we picked up our gear at the ski valet and treked up the mountain to ski down or over to the lifts. I was actually surprised at the amount of trucking we had to do for a slope side resort. Regardless, it was a great workout so I can’t complain that much.
After skiing, be sure to check out the outdoor pool and hot tubs. They do no allow alcoholic beverages by the either, but if you bring down a little wine in a paper coffee cup from the café it will be our little secret ;).
There is a restaurant in the hotel but they stop serving food relatively early. The bar stays open though, so if it’s more wine you’re looking for you are in luck… until around 10:30 that is!

beautiful!

Clean, friendly and the price was unbeatable. Just stayed here this past weekend and I believe that the room was 120.00 (plus fees)… but a small kitchenette/​murphy bed and a GORGEOUS view of the pool/​hot tub/​mountain…
I HATE ugly carpets in hotels… so that bothers me… but there were many cozy sitting areas throughout the hotels with plush chairs and fireplaces.
There are options for food:
restaurants
bars
delis
and entertainment.
There is a shuttle to bring you to town or drive yourself and the mountain is right outside your day. What’s better than that?
Nice night away. wish we had more time.

Awesome resort. Many vending machines with lots of choices, arcade and bonfires every night. Interior is extremely modern. They also have a pool that can be heated for use in the winter. It is entered directly from the inside. Come here!!! And I don’t even ski! I came here in Summer 2013 with my friend. I’m 13 in 8^th grade. Damn that was a fun summer.

Ive been to many hotels and resorts. This one is not worth the price. I have stayed at much nicer places for the price I paid to stay here. Its not ski-​season right now and the parking lot isn’t full. No idea why prices are this high. Update: The hotel was testing the fire alarms today… No warning. 8:30am. Ear-​piercing.

Nice hotel RIGHT on the mountain and can’t beat it for ski in ski out in Vermont. A little bit dated, but not too bad, and my only complaint is the parking.
Dining was decent, especially the buffet breakfast before a day of skiing.

Waited almost 3 hours to get into a room. Front desk didn’t care and didn’t even ask if we needed anything or offer any water. Bell hop brought our luggage into the room and asked «can you bring the cart back down to us?». Of course, I obliged… because they left our ski coats and case of water AT THE BELL STAND!!!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
So… who has room service that requires you to COME AND PICK IT UP??? WTF… this place is out of control!

The nicest most conveniently located ski lodge to Mount Snow. Ski out. In the back where the ski attendant holds your skis you grab your skis and you are feet away from Blue Bird, the new high speed domed chair lift. Great buffet breakfast, accommodating staff and beautiful function al rooms with kitchenettes and dining tables. Perfect for families and small groups. I really enjoyed this place. unfortubately, hot tub and pool at the spa was undergoing maintenance but alternatives were made available.

Super!!! Very comfortable room. Fully stocked kitchen, great health club, sauna, steam, hot tub, heated pool and spa. The massage (Lucy) was beyond words in thoroughness, professionalism, and healing properties. My wife said the same of her, and of Juanita. It is worth the trip to come here; do some skiing, hiking, cycling, golf, sight seeing, leaf peeking, ice crème stands, antiques, lakes. They even have a super yoga class led by a very gentle and attentive practitioner, C.B. Don’t come here if you don’t like fresh air, space, and the outdoors. Reasonable rates all around. Treat yourself to a refreshing retreat.

I feel like I probably didnt get the full experience since I stayed here in October which is well before Ski season. I drove up to see the leaves and stayed here for one night. I got a great deal on the room, so for the price it was great. Staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The room did have a murphy bed, which I have mixed feelings about and the bedding was not the best, which is why this place gets 4 and not 5 stars. For a weekend trip to experience the fall, it was great.

This place deserves one star, but I am giving two because the Valet guy Jan was helpful and friendly. Wish I could say the same for the rest of the staff.
My boyfriend and I stayed here over the Columbus Day weekend, and from the moment we arrived we had to wait over 2 hours after check-​in time for our room to be available, which was ridiculous. We didn’t get to our room until after 5pm!
The next issue we encountered was their hotel restaurant. The food was decent; if you like it served cold. No, really. When you’re seeing people who came in long after you getting their main courses, clearly something isn’t right. We brought it to our waiter’s attention, and he was apologetic and ran back to get our food which was no longer hot because it was sitting back there forever. Got a free drink out of it, which to me does not compensate but what ever.
The kicker was their hidden fee we just discovered. My boyfriend booked this through Expedia at a set price. While overlooking the statement this morning, he noticed the hotel charged an additional $ 250 in fees! He called them directly and they tried to say that this was resort taxes & fees, but had no justification as to how they couldn’t compile this into the set Expedia price nor provide a disclosure anywhere that this would be charged.
There are much nicer resorts to stay at in Vermont if you want to spend that kind of money… this place does not deserve your cash. Needless to say we will not be going back here.

Perfect for mountain access, skiing/​hiking. Staff is very helpful. Hotel restaurant is convenient. Rooms are good.
