The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining

I thoroughly enjoyed the meal at Mae’s Dining Room. We had the chance to indulge in scrumptious crab cakes and seafood pasta, which were expertly prepared. The dessert selection, especially the chocolate flourless cake, was to die for. It was a dining experience that I will remember fondly.

Refreshing Pools

The outdoor and indoor pools were just perfect for relaxation. The outdoor pool was especially inviting, with a comfortable temperature that allowed me to lounge for hours. The hot tub was a great spot to unwind after a long day of exploring.

The Historic Summit Inn has a unique charm due to its century-old architecture and stunning views, but our stay was marred by cleanliness issues in our room and dated amenities. While the staff was accommodating and the dining room served good meals, the experience overall left something to be desired, especially considering the price.

Rooms

The room we stayed in felt dated, and we unfortunately encountered cleanliness problems, including dust and a musty odor that impacted our stay. There was also an absence of basic amenities like a waste basket.

Service

7.0

The staff was welcoming and did respond when issues were raised, though the lack of ADA compliance information was a bit off-putting. They did offer us a discount for our troubles which was appreciated.

Location

8.0

The location is quite beautiful with sweeping views of the valley, and it's conveniently situated for visiting nearby attractions like Fallingwater. However, access via narrow staircases can be challenging.

Dining

6.0

We enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the dining room, though the coffee certainly left something to be desired. The quality of food was reasonably good, but it did not meet expectations for a hotel at this price point.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel retains many of its historical elements, but the lack of elevators and air conditioning in the hallways was quite inconvenient. Some facilities, like the outdoor areas, were nice but could use improvement.

My stay at the Historic Summit Inn had its ups and downs. The view from the hotel was absolutely stunning, especially during sunset, which made for some unforgettable moments. However, I can't overlook the musty smell in the room and the discomfort from the old furnishings, which impacted our overall experience. Service was adequate, and while there were some charming aspects to the place, basic cleanliness and air quality are vital to a good stay.

I had a mixed experience at the Summit Inn. The views are truly breathtaking, especially during sunset, and the historic charm adds a unique touch. However, I was quite disappointed with the service at the dining location, which felt rushed and inattentive during my visit. The accommodations were decent, but I definitely expected more comfort for the price. While it offers a lovely setting, I wouldn't recommend it based on my overall experience.
