Review of the Marriott Summit Watch in Park City, Utah

1/30/2018

Comments

As you probably know, I am a big fan of Park City, Utah.  There are many reasons for this.  

The first reason is that it is a simple 30 minute drive from Salt Lake City airport (SLC) that is all on highways.  Even in a snow storm, the ride is fairly easy.  

The second reason is that the skiing is fantastic.  The weather is usually quite pleasant with beautiful sunny days.  It makes skiing a pleasure as opposed to the east coast skiing that I grew up with where temperatures could easily be in the single digits and icy.  In addition, Park City and the Canyons recently merged so it is the largest ski area in the United States.  There is ample choices for all ski levels.  There is also plenty of other ski resorts in the vicinity in case you get bored with Park City. 

The third reason is that there are plenty of great timeshares.  I rarely have a problem getting a great ski week at many of the top rated timeshare resorts. 

Marriott Summit Watch

As I have written about before, my family and I stayed at the Marriott Summit Watch resort the week before Christmas.  The snow conditions were a little weak this season but the resort is stellar. 

In my previous post, I compared some of the perks of the resorts as compared to many of our recent hotel stays.  In this post, I wanted to give a more detailed review of the resort as compared to some of the other properties that I have visited in Park City, Utah.

Since I travel to Park City a decent amount, I have had the opportunity to stay at the Hyatt Centric Park City (technically a fractional ownership property), the Westgate Park City , the Marriott Summit Watch and the Hyatt Place (hotel).  The two other timeshares that I want to visit but I have not had the opportunity to visit is the Marriott Mountainside and the Hilton Sunrise Resort.  

Location

The Marriott Summit Watch is located directly on Main Street.  The benefits to this location is that there are tons of restaurants and bars within seconds of the resort.  There are a few very good restaurants literally right outside the front doors.  

The resort is a one minute walk to Town Lift.  While it is not a ski-in / ski-out property, it is a simple walk and as I mentioned in my other post, they have free ski storage right at the Town lift which makes it very convenient. 

Rooms

As I showed you in my other post, the studio units are quite nice.  If you are accustomed to Marriott properties, this property is definitely on par with other high end Marriott properties.  

The Marriott Summit Watch also has one bedroom and two bedroom units. I have stayed in a 2 bedroom unit at this resort in the past and it is very spacious with a large living room and kitchen facility.  It is definitely big enough for a family of 4 to spread out comfortably and could easily accommodate 6 people.

Activities

The Marriott Summit Watch does a great job with various activities around the property.  They constantly had plenty of free things going on and had many adult activities that were fun.  I really enjoyed the constant offering of free wine and beer tastings.  In case you missed it, here are a few photos of the various activities that were being offering during our stay.

Pool Area:

The pool area at the Marriott Summit Watch is quite nice.  They have an indoor outdoor pool that is heated.  You can spend your time in the inside pool or you can swim under the divider and get to the outside pool.  Despite it being less than 30 degrees outside, the pool was quite warm. 

In addition to the pool, they have 4 hot tubs, one on the inside and three outside.  The biggest hot tub can easily fit 15 people if not more.  Overall, the pool facility is quite nice.

Kids Club / Activity Center:

The kids club / activity center is located in the pool complex.  It is a ten step walk from the last building.  The activity center has a lot of different options for both kids and adults.  It is on the smaller side but they have video games, arts and crafts, chess, checkers, air hockey, and various board games.  It is a well stocked area with plenty of things to keep you busy. 

Marketplace

One downside to a lot of timeshare properties is the lack of food outlets.  The Marriott Summit Watch does not have any food and beverage outlets on premises but there are tons of restaurants right out the front door.  In addition, they have a marketplace where you can get some simple items such as beer, ice cream, coffee, drinks, and various other snacks.  In addition, they do have tons of DVD's where you can rent them nightly for a nominal charge. 

Conclusion

The Marriott Summit Watch is one of the nicer timeshare properties that I have stayed at.  The location is stellar since it is so convenient to Main Street, restaurants and town lift.  I also really enjoy being able to bring a car without a fee so you can explore other areas. 

I really enjoyed our stay at the Marriott Summit Watch and would highly recommend this property.  I did do a timeshare presentation here and will report on those findings soon. 

Have you stayed at this property?  What are your opinions?
