  : Location was great being ski out at top of lift.
  : Hoots Restaurant closed for food service due to Covid issue (bar was open). So, bought lots of microwave food. Then to find out microwave was fried (black burn marks inside and arcing when tried to use). Immediately called maintenance number and reported. They did not replace microwave during our stay. So, microwave food purchased was waste. Cleaning appeared Ok until finding child's underwear in bathroom floor. Can't imagine how you could clean a floor without spotting that.

  : The property is situated in a good location with ample parking, a d if it was ski season it is directly at the top of a lift. It is at the end of the walking path which takes you to the heart of Snowshoe Village. A 12 minute walk was easy and we never felt the need to wait for the shuttle bus. The kitchen was well equipped and setup given the size of the place.
  : This is not an easy review to make because I don’t want to compare it to other places, but rather just explain what it is. Top of the World is not a hotel in the common sense, but a building of tiny apartments and I knew this going in. It did still have fresh sheets/towels and was clean. The mountain controls many of these and rents out like hotel rooms. It appears other units are privately owned. There is no staff on site so you check in at a central location and receive keys (yes metal keys). This must be one of the oldest buildings like this and built when I assume there were no summer activities and Snowshoe was just a winter destination. We visited in the summer for a major mountain bike event and this place is what I found for a reasonable price. The decor of dark wood panel walls and late 70s/early 80s vibe is outdated, but really that by itself wouldn’t matter. Unfortunately we were on the top 3rd floor of a building not designed for summer. The heat and stale air smacks you as you exit the elevator. It was easily in the mid-80s in our room so I don’t mean warm - it was hot for indoors when outside was so nice. We left our window wide open the entire time, but there was no air flow and with sunny days in the 70s the cool nights could not bring down the temperature. In the summer bring a fan! If we could have blown in cool outdoor air that might have changed everything. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but since the heat made it so hard to sleep its harder to evaluate. There is a ceiling fan in the bedroom which really helped. If it was winter I might be describing this place as more warm and cozy, but for summer stays I would look elsewhere first.
