We had a wonderful stay here. Staff was great everywhere on the grounds. Food & service was good, a little on the higher price said. We did have the majority of our meals there as the drive to town isn't the closest. The slopes were well groomed. My son and I spent the entire day on them. The rooms were decent and clean. We are planning to return next year for more skiing fun.

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.

Nice comfortable stay. The pool was warm and very relaxing; the hot tub and sauna both worked fine. Although not complimentary, the breakfast at the Summit Restaurant was excellent. Beautiful views of the Mississippi River from the west balcony of the hotel. Very nice! Will stay again.
