A friend of mine went there to enjoy Galena's Illumination of the city. We spent our off time at the resort and as a resort I really thought it would have WiFi TV. But this was not the case, very disappointed.

Jesse in the restraunt was awesome. He waited on us Friday dinner, Saturday night and had a quick conversation Sunday morning at breakfast. Very attentive, friendly and all around nice guy. Hotel needs a elevator as carrying luggage up 2 flights of stairs sucks! Hotel rooms and hotel itself needs to be upgraded to the 2000's. 2nd time we stayed here and probably will be back but will request room on 2nd floor over looking the ski slopes.

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.

The breakfast was buffet and somewhat greasy. We had hoped there would be fire pits outside to enjoy fall on the grounds!
