    View on the mountain from the hotel room

    We went to Alta lodge for a wedding and stayed the night. The view From the room was incredible! It was a beautiful venue for the wedding, I definitely recommend. The room was great, everyone was really nice, the breakfast was great. Just want to stay there again!

    The Alta Lodge is a great ski experience!!! Great food, facility, and best of all a very accommodating staff. While the lodge will take you back to the 70's, they have kept up necessary upgrades... My kudos go to Kaitlen, Jessica, and Anna for the awesome Yoga class... thank you so much... Their expertise, knowledge, and passion for Yoga was truly a great way to start each day...Can't wait to return

    I'd give it 6 stars if I could. Maybe I'd give it 10. Who knows. Stars don't matter at this point. The Lodge has a tradition that they are rightly proud of. That tradition is skiing, and the skiing in the Wasatch is outstanding. Add morning yoga, breakfast, second breakfast (not kidding), afternoon tea and cookies baked in house, sauna and hot tub, dinner with desserts also made in house, and last but not least the legendary Sitzmark club, and you have yourself one of the best vacations.

    Stopped in for brunch after checking out wildflowers at Albion meadows and Cecret lake trails (in July). The view from our table outside was incredible. The food was delicious. Great salads, lots of vegetables, eggs Benedict, waffles, cannoli, multigrain blueberry muffins, I won't go through the whole buffet menu unceremoniously, but basically it was all good and really well done. Real maple syrup!!!

    With carpet, wooden walls and furniture, the casual and cozy bar at Alta Lodge is the perfect place for an après ski - there's no whiff of ski resort corporatism here.

    Rustic! A real ski lodge. It's all about the skiing. Food was very good, limited wine selection, Starbucks coffee. Breakfast and dinner included. Friendly, helpful staff. Room was small but had perfect view of the mountains. No TV other than in lounge area. Cozy pillows and comforters in room as well as Aveda products. Short distance to Collins Lift. Rope tow access. Yoga classes in early morning hours before breakfast. Coffee/tea and homemade snack served before dinner. Hot tub and sauna on premises, too.

    Oh, the possibilities of what sleep could have been had we gotten that 1 packet of salt...

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would! This was the absolute worst hotel experience of my life. I stayed here along w/ my sister for 3 nights and the accommodations were terrible. I am genuinely confused by all of the 5 star reviews! #LIES! First of all, the lodge is located way up high in mountains where the scenery is absolutely beautiful... Unfortunately, this is the one and only good thing about this place. The stairs: There are no elevators at this ski lodge so you have to walk up and down 3 huge flights of stairs to get in and out of the hotel/lobby, this was terrible for us and will be to anyone else who has never experienced being at this high of altitude whether you are in shape or not. Trekking these stairs at 8,600 miles high and having no other option is outright hazardous!!! The room: Just awful.... If I didn't know any better, I'd say these rooms were put together w/ a hot glue gun! The walls are paper thin, cracks and holes in the ceiling, dark, dingy, smelly, old and there is no tv, microwave, mini fridge, iron, or even a clock radio!! Beds are hard as a rock and sheets are paper thin. The air conditioning system is a huge, old and loud box that sticks out from the window, carpets are filthy and there were open spaces in between the SINGLE paned Windows which left the Windows all foggy/sweaty and exposing our room to the outside elements. The bathroom is actually quite nice compared to the rest of the room. Bright, small and pretty clean. On our last night we were abruptly woken up by a LOUD banging noise coming from the air conditioner. We called the front desk and were told maintenance would not be on duty until 7am but were willing to come take a look at it... That was a huge waste of time as the guy from the front desk took one look and said he had NO idea what was causing the noise and didn't know how to fix it. The air in the mountains is very thin which makes it quite difficult to breathe, especially at night. Thankfully, they provide you with the world's very first humidifier to get you through the struggle! Seriously, the humidifier provided is REALLY old and gave minimal relief during the night. It also had a sign on it that it is "best used with 1 packet of salt," and of course, we weren't provided any. The pool: There is a very nice view of the mountains from the deck outside of the pool area, but one of the sliding glass doors was broken and wouldn't open/close. We tried to activate the bubbles in one of the pools by turning the dial and nothing happened... so, we went over to the next pool ( btw it's not a pool at all, it's a HOT tub) to use that one. We turned the dial to active the bubbles and water from the first pool started shooting up out of the Jets and splashing water all over the floor and making a very loud noise! We saw a staff member passing by and told him, he tried to fix it. He couldn't. He told a maintenance worker who came in and said that's how it was "supposed" to run.....? WHAT?! It was so loud and distracting we just left. The staff: Overall, I thought the staff were pretty friendly and at least made an attempt to be helpful until it came to the "breakfast situation." This ended up being one of the biggest disappointments of our entire stay. Based on several reviews, many had positive things to say about the breakfast served here. We were told that because we were attending the conference down the street we were excluded from the daily breakfast at the hotel because "they heard" that complimentary breakfast would be served at the conference. Apparently, there was a miscommunication because breakfast was in fact NOT included in the conference we were attending. We expressed to the front desk that we were not being served breakfast at the conference and we were STILL excluded from daily breakfast at the hotel. Had we actually gotten to try the food here and liked it, this review may have earned an extra star... I guess we'll never know. Frankly, this place just needs to be completely remodeled, revamped, and redone. I cannot see how anyone could ever stay here in the winter season when it's snowing, staying here in summer was as bad as it gets. Also, all of the other hotels in the area were completely sold out at the time of our stay so it was impossible to find other accommodations, if we could have, we definitely would have. I will NEVER EVER return.

    Beautiful view from the deck eating lunch!

    The Aerie - Bleu cheese salad on some kind of radicchio *NOT GOOD*

    I had an enjoyable dinner at the Aerie. I was slightly apprehensive given previous mixed reviews…read more The carrot appetizer was tasty but not so good that I would order it again. The wagyu osso buco was good, very tender, but the seasoning/flavor was not superlative. I enjoyed the mushroom bolognese tagliatelle the most (it was the most flavorful, and was filling). The coconut gelato was absolutely fantastic (creamy, rich, yet vegan), but I believe I had the same gelato at SeventyOne so it's not solely available at the Aerie. A friend had dinner at the Aerie the evening before and was disappointed in the mushroom appetizer, celery veloute, and sea bass (which she said was overcooked). So it's possible I enjoyed dinner also because my expectations were tempered. The ambiance is terrific with the tremendous windows and view Service was reasonably attentive, especially the sommelier Given the price/value alone I'd probably rate 3.5 but the ambiance bumps it to a 4

    Located on the top floor of The Cliff Lodge, the ambiance is gorgeous. I had extremely high hopes…read morefor my experience here and they fell flat both times we dined here. I had trouble with the elk meatball pasta. The balls were very tough and tasted gamey. The pasta wasn't thick pappardelle ribbons as noted on the menu, but rather thin like linguine. The $18+ dollar soups were anticlimactic (especially for the price) and needed more substance. The children's pasta was very salty and wasn't made with homemade pasta. The salmon entree looked beautiful on the plate however the fish was medium rare to rare and not as flaky as I hoped. The blue sauce had no actual flavor and was scant. The papaya salad was weird to say the least and tough. Possibly the worst plate of food had to have been the salad I've pictured, with some spotted radicchio. Super bitter and inedible. We sent it away and noticed the table next to us also complain about theirs. The other salad that we replaced it with was just okay and needed more elements. On a positive note, the staff were really friendly and polite and the complimentary bread with honey butter was delicious. My recommendation is to skip this restaurant and walk down to the Steak Pit.

    My husband and I decided to try this place for brunch after church and Since it was the off season,…read morewe knew there would not be lot of people there. Upon arrival we requested patio seating, where a large party was also seated. The server was a little slow to acknowledge us, however as she was helping the large party we let it go. We did overhear someone from the large group they wanted to order biscuits and gravy and was promptly informed they were out (this was about 10 am - posted business hours were from 8 am to 4 pm). The patio was had great view, the weather was perfect and of course being in the off season hardly many visitors It took the several minutes after taking their order to finally stop by. My husband ordered the black bean with chicken and informed they were out. So he opted for the Caesar salad with chicken and I ordered the eggs Benedict; he chose to stick with water and I ordered a n iced tea. When our order was brought it, it looked great. And was brought out by someone who was not our server. However my eggs were very overcooked; husband's salad had too much dressing. Not once did our server come by to check on either us or the large party until it was time to pay. My husband ended drinking the water brought to us when we're seated and I drank my iced tea slowly to make it last for the duration of our meal. We did observe another couple who was seated on the patio about the time we placed our order, the server was very attentive to them. Additionally there was a single young man also seated about the same time who was ignored by the server for good length of time.

I ordered Bacon, Scrambled Eggs, Potatoes, and Sourdough Bread Toast. The breakfast was good. An average breakfast but the best part was the view. It was spectacular. In my opinion the prices are quite steep for breakfast. The breakfast plate was twenty two dollars but that's to be expected staying on a ski resort. The customer service was good and could be quite slow at times.

We stopped in because they had modifiable options for a vegan. Apparently their veggie sandwich can't be done without cheese? That was the first signifier that everything is pre-made and sitting, waiting for you to order it. I asked the server about taking it off and before I could even finish my sentence, the answer was no. Granted he did spend 10 minutes talking to another server and avoiding us, his one table, putzing around, so getting food made to order didn't seem to be the biggest concern. And with asking about getting cheese not being on my sandwich, no way. Couldn't be bothered. Aka: you got dietary restrictions, good luck, we're not going to help you. I ended up ordering the kid's PB&J because it was the only non-dairy, non-meat optipn on the menu. And then I got it... My bread we as hard as a rock. Clearly had been sitting for a while. Very pre-made. My mom's turkey sandwich was also horrible. She tried to eat the turkey our of the stale bread of her sandwich, but that was way too dry. I hate saying all this because the staff was so friendly, except when the server took 10 minutes to greet the table. Every other interaction and meal we had at Cliff Lodge was great. Maybe that's what made this interaction and meal so incredibly disappointing. Go elsewhere for food.
