What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 190 guest reviews
The Historic Summit Inn earns consistently warm reviews for its spectacular mountain views, charming historic character, and enjoyable dining — particularly on the veranda. However, guests repeatedly flag dated and basic rooms, no elevator access, and occasional service inconsistencies at the bar and front desk. It's a property best appreciated for its atmosphere and setting rather than room comfort or modern amenities.
