The hotel is very dated and old. However, the room and bathroom was clean. The food at the Summit was average with no taste. The pool was the best part of the vacation.

No elevator have to carry luggage upstairs . Carpet through out resort is disgustingly filthy . Hallways smell of nasty carpet ! Coffee in lobby horrible . Bed had no fitted sheet had a flat sheet talked in exposing a worn out. Disgusting mattress pad . Sink was very low for like a small child along with the toilet just not a very pleasant day. Employees were fine and working hard, but obviously the place was in a shambles and nothing they can do to fix it even though they were cleaning best, they could all dirt on top of older dirt . If you plan on commuting from town back to resort at night, it’s a very dangerous dark winding road beware.

Property needs to be updated. The scenery is beautiful but the hotel itself is extremely dated and run down. For the price you pay, more things should be included.
