I don't think this is a fair review because the facility is under construction so there were not a lot of amenities. For the price per night I think we should have been told.

Better Than You Expect
The Hotel is under construction, which the staff was very willing to let you know what was going on. They had ear plugs if needed(we did not need them). Our room was lovely, quaint and had his and her closets! Bathroom towels were top notch bath sheets. The bathroom was very clean! Plenty of outlets to charge your electronics and a desk! Loved the reading light on the headboard, great for going to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Excellent blinds, heat worked great and so did the bathroom fan! The continental breakfast was spectacular with something for everyone! They also replaced the water bottles in the room everyday! The refrigerator was spotless and worked great(quiet)! Every staff member and construction worker was very friendly! We look forward to when it’s finished and we would definitely stay there again!

The hotel is undergoing renovation. Perhaps they should close and finish the job. We felt "taken."

Zero Stars. It has delusions of grandeur claims to be 3 star but has NO AMENITIES. Seriously overpriced. Restaurant is Closed. Pool is Closed. No phone in rooms no way to contact the front desk staff who were unhelpful in person. Rooms are dated and basic. Bathroom steams up as there is no window or fan so steam gets into bedroom. They claim that renovations are underway but there is no evidence of that. It is the Only hotel in Summit but it no longer deserves to be called a hotel. It's a bad BnB. The only nice thing I can say is beds are comfortable and staff (other than front desk) were friendly.

Great potential
This hotel has tons of potential but we do have a few problems. No pool no restaurant no bar it needs to be renovated and room prices need to go up!!!! This place is in summit downtown is flowing lots of people they need to put money into the hotel and have the locals eat and drinks at the hotel. And still get customers to sleep there

Disappointing
Super disappointing to see what new owners have done to this classic hotel. We have stayed here before when visiting family in the area, so we didn’t hesitate to book our rooms for this trip. The remodel doesn’t make sense, materials were poorly chosen and poorly installed, and because of more ongoing work, amenities were not available. No pool, no restaurant, no bar. Falling plaster, holes in the floor, and trash left behind the nightstand. . . We will look elsewhere on our next visit.

Small Rooms
Front desk upgraded me to a king but the room in the second floor was a bit noisy from the ac in the roof close to the window. The room is very small but the bed is comfy. The breakfast was ok nothing special. Fire department was there with three engines and I walked to my room and there was no water pressure till the morning.

We had a short stay. Got in around 9 and left in the morning without breakfast due to our other plans. We expect to stay again for 2-3 nights in a few months.

Nice room, walk in shower is always better than tub shower. Renovated bathroom was nice. TV had poor reception but I’m not there for the TV reception. Walking to town was only about 7 minutes which is nice. The town is pricey but nice area but very enjoyable to walk in. Many churches in surrounding area. I would definitely stay there again.

When I went to check in they said they didn’t have a room for me and this was only about 2 hours after I booked the room on Hotels.com. Luckily there was one cancellation which opened up a room. This had the makings of a vary bad experience.

Don’t Stay Here!
This hotel is being renovated by a new owner. Instead, it should be closed for the complete renovations. The website listed amenities that were not available or closed. The room next-door had a dog. The front desk didn’t even know about it, let alone that it was left and attended most of our stay. There was mold in the shower. A leak in the room ceiling. Charming is not neglected, in need of basic repairs, or lamps and light fixtures in rooms that don’t work. Upon check in one of the people in our party, at 9 o’clock at night, was told their room was not ready. Another family member who booked two queen beds, instead was given a room with one king, and told they had to pay additional for it. The person who checked us in, warned us not to use the Keurig’s in the rooms because they were dirty and disgusting. This was consistent with the rest of the hotel!

Perfect for our short stay with our pup. Free parking on site. Clean rooms. Just a bit noisy as we were near the elevator, ice machine, and housekeeping room so we frequently heard noise day and night. Would stay here again though! Just not in the same room.
