I booked a reservation to stay at the Alta lodge four months prior to my travel dates. They required a $50 deposit. Knowing that my travel reservations might change, I was very careful to ask about the cancellation policy. I was told that I could cancel up until two days before my reservation begins.

Other hotels often call themselves lodges but are really just hotels located near ski mountains. The Alta Lodge is a true ski lodge, complete with the warm, cozy feel and amazing ski in/ski out accomodations! Many guests of the lodge have been staying there for 50+ years and I can see why!

The staff could... more

When I called the hotel, they told me they were rustic, they have no TV's or kitchenettes. I stayed at this hotel 25 years ago, when I was a kid, and the furnishings were outdated then. I think it is the exact same furniture. The layout is awkward, the halls are dimly lit. Some halls are wallpapered with jute carpeting,... more
