Chestnut Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is helpful in finding the activities I'm looking for & basic information. Room is clean and well maintained. Keep.in mind this is an older resort so there is a musty aroma. Didn't mind that. Internet connection works better in the lobby vs the room which is very spotty. Breakfast is not free - there is a very nice selection of items that is reasonably priced. Enjoyed the Alpine slide and the "zip line". Would stay here again. The views are amazing"

"Clean room, comfortable bed. Layout was a bit strange, with closet in rear of room instead of by the entry door. Breakfast was good, though limited somewhat. It was convenient to the WW II Days which we were attending both days. We plan on returning next year for WW II Days (too much to see in 2 days) and will stay at the La Quinta again. Good value for that weekend."
