Killington Grand Resort Hotel & Conference Center
2 reviews for Killington Grand Resort Hotel & Conference Center
After building up this cozy idea of accommodations akin to the ones in Dumb and Dumber, I found myself feeling the dumbest for expecting anything from the lodging provided at a discount to Bentley alumni. I didn't make it to the slopes, so I had plenty of time to wander around the place. Plenty of closet space, a pull-out couch, decent bathrooms, a gas fireplace and a stocked kitchen are some of the pluses, while leftovers from previous guests, dingy furniture and cold decorations left a pretty sour taste from the minute we arrived. If you're skiing the majority of the time, I guess you won't care about anything except how comfortable the beds are (or are NOT, in this case). There's absolutely nothing to do in the near vicinity. The hot tub is more like a bar with a puddle next to it, and it's a meat market the minute the slopes close. The restaurants are mediocre. The only bar that was worth checking out had a $20 cover - more than any other rinky-dink bar I've ever seen in a major city. It would have been a better experience had I skied, hadn't let all the cars go to the slopes, or been mentally able to trek a couple miles in freezing winds to the nearest non-ski related shop.
You would think the place was seriously going to be grand. The rooms are pretty sad-but that's ALL snow hotels/chalets. I mean we're talking murphy bed BUT this hotel rocks becauses ITS so close to the slopes-walk over a little footbridge and your on a lift. The outdoor pool here is enormous and so nice and hot! We did NYE here last year, and it was kinda quiet-but also kinda nice that way. The place is run by teenagers but once you get over that, this is a good spot to lay your head for some nights while skiing/boarding at Killington! It doesn't come cheap, but talk about not having to slep your stuff around...you can even store your board/skis overnight, and never has to come up to your room. It may not be the grandest, nothing really is on the East Coast, but you can have a grand time while staying here and skiing on Killington.
