I waffled for months between the Montage and Summit after double booking both -- I realize different price points but I'm loathe to pay Montage prices for subpar service and food (per several friends who had stayed recently). SO glad we chose the Summit. Would go back in a heartbeat.
The pros:
- Location, location, location. TRUE ski-in, ski-out with terrific ski valets who even walked my skis up the (very) little slope. Two fast, heated, covered lifts right outside. Many varied and excellent dining options within a 3-min walk.
- Accommodations were fine, rooms seemed updated recently. Not the height of luxury but good enough. Showers had good water pressure. Thermostats weren't very responsive but fine for us as we like our rooms on the cool side.
- Excellent service. The people everywhere, from the front desk to restaurant staff to the ski valets, housekeeping, etc were friendly, attentive and efficient. Notably good for post-Covid service.
- Coordination with ski rental, etc was AWESOME. They met us in our room with boots, helmets, lift tickets, etc right after check-in. Skis were waiting for us at the valet the next morning. SO convenient.
- We really enjoyed the Chophouse for dinner and the Carabiner was a good place for apres ski.
Cons:
- The kitchen in our suite didn't have a fry pan. Asked for one but it was never delivered. We managed.
- Spa is in another building.
- Laundry facilities, though free with free detergent, are not en suite.
