I recently stayed at Summit Watch for a short trip to Park City. The exterior of the property is adorable and what ski lodge dreams are made of. If spending time on Main Street is a priority, you really can’t get a better location, and the Olympic Park is only a short drive away. The general amenities and staff were what one would expect of a MVC property; some timeshare incentives were offered, but they weren’t pushy or forceful. I was concerned about a tight parking situation based on previous reviews, but it was much better than expected and I had no issues (small SUV). The room appeared to have been renovated somewhat recently and was comfortable in both its size and amenities. When it came to housekeeping, the room wasn’t the cleanest; little details like crumbs on the floor, a stained / pilling duvet, and some hair on the soap pumps in the shower were noticeable. I’m not sure what year the property was built, but the building overall did feel a bit on the older side. The elevator in the Silver Nugget building was slow and often smelled of cigarette smoke / food from the previous occupant. When I arrived at 3pm, I was told my room wasn’t ready and I would receive a call shortly (the property definitely wasn't full the night before). Check-in time came and went, plus another hour, yet I never received a call. When I came back to the front desk, the agent said she had been checking back on my room and it *just so happened* to be available when I walked in... interesting thing was I didn’t deal with this agent before, and she never even asked my name to check on the room. I found the whole situation to be odd. One thing worth noting is, during the offseason, the town is pretty dead in the mornings and evenings. Leaving Collies at 8pm on a weeknight, it felt like I was the only person left in town - the empty streets were eerie and, to be honest, a little sad. In the morning, the streets felt pretty similar; beyond people coming in / out of the Atticus coffee shop, there was practically no one in sight. I’m familiar with MVC properties and understand that their offerings tend to be limited, but this really stands out when there’s little to do in the area. I don’t know if the property and surrounding area come to life more in the winter, but I was honestly underwhelmed by the area despite fairly low expectations.
