This place photographs way better than it looks in person. Grand Summit is by no means luxurious. When I first arrived I noticed the sad interior paint job, old frumpy couches and hideous check-in area. There were holes in the walls (one was haphazardly spackled at some point) and the carpet looked dingy and dirty (in their defense it was replaced during our stay, but then that made a mess that you had to walk thru for a whole day). The first room we got looked nothing like the pics and it smelled awful. We immediately asked for a different room and were informed that it would be hours before we could have a new room. Mind you, the hotel was pretty empty as far as we could tell. The woman working the front desk made apathy look ambitious and it took some arguing on my husband's part to get a new room. We finally got a new room, and it was a much nicer lofted room and most importantly it did not stink. The lofted room was spacious and nice, with a kitchenette. Again, it was nice but nothing special. If you must stay here, ask for the lofted rooms on the third floor.
We could see the heated outdoor pool from our room and were excited to check it out. All I can say is, EW. The pool and spa were dirty. Thank god children are oblivious to dirty pools. I let my child play as long as I could stomach it, but all I wanted to do was scrub myself with a wire brush after having been in the pool/hot tub. The sauna was actually ok, but not particularly warm.
The restaurant, which bills itself as "farm to table" was a hot mess and the worst part of the hotel. I don't care about the provenance of the food if it is generic and bland. The service was very spotty, the food very expensive and not particularly tasty. The breakfast buffet in the morning was spectacularly awful. It was located outside of the restaurant. Why? I have no idea. Not only was the food in the buffet terrible (the breakfast potatoes still make me shudder) but you had to come back into the restaurant balancing your plates while opening a door. Not once did I see the wait staff try to open doors for people. And no a la carte option for breakfast, so yeah. Eat at the Deli at the other side of the hotel, it was pretty decent.
The main perk of this hotel is that it is at the bottom of the mountain. So, when you're done skiing you can ski straight down to the ski valet. That part was really nice. There was never a line and the valet attendants were very nice.
This place is a time-share and I think that most people bring ten people and pile into their condos. So, don't expect a luxe feel here.
