An amazing surprise!!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Feb 11, 2018
To stay here for Alta is the best you can get there and you will be very happy. Not only is it ski in and out but breakfast and dinner are included and.......not only is the food delicious with an awesome breakfast but the service is up there with any 5 star place I have stayed. The rooms may not be as nice as a Four Seasons but the service and food are right up there with them!! Rooms are better than han I expected and nicely appointed and very clean
Best to ask for a corner room if avialable and pay the extra

      There is no finer place "to stay to ski"... than at this extraordinary hotel in Alta. Year after year they outperform my expectations. The staff are exceptional and the atmosphere & facility are superb. If you are a serious skier looking to combine the best Western skiing with first class lodging experience....this is it. Nothing else comes close. Our annual group is large and difficult to manage...but these folks do it flawlessly year after year.

      Rustler offers every possible amenity in the friendliest possible environment. A pool, spa program, excellent meals - including the only sit-down “real” lunch on the mountain distinguishes Rustler from the rest. Friendly and family owned-operated, this is the gem of ALL western skiing.

      Everything perfect. Food, service--both 5 *. Charming bar/lounge with central fireplace.. Indoor and outdoor hot tubs,outdoor pool, sauna, eucalyptus steam room, beautiful views, ski in-ski-out. PP
      Staff super friendly & professional. Breakfast buffet excellent (can also order from table.) Dinners on a par with top notch restaurants.
      We had room in Cecret section which did involve a curious route to restaurant but had a great view--and at a lower tariff than other mountain view rooms.
      A not inexpensive lodge but worth every $

      The rooms are nice and the location is perfect for skiing at Alta or Snowbird. The fitness room is good and the hot tub, spa and sauna are nice. The Powder House offers great service in providing ski rentals and goggles, etc Most importantly, the people who work at the Lodge make this the very best place. The Rustler Lodge Restaurant food is incredible. Breakfast and dinner are included in the cost of the room. They redefine what "service" means. Kathy in the dining room went out of her way to make sure we got the type of food we needed for multiple meals. She constantly moves around the restaurant to make sure everyone has just what they need. John, the bartender, was patient and excellent in finding us the right drink. Johannes was a great server. Max helped us tremendously with AV needs and shuttle service. Everyone who works there has a smile on their face and they care passionately that you have the best stay ever. We ran a conference there, and asked where the attendees wanted to stay next year. Everyone agreed, and I do mean everyone, that Rustler is the very best place in the entire area.

      Leave your furs and diamonds at home - this is skiers paradise not Aspen or Deer Valley. If you are comfortable with who you are, have no need to impress, and just want to have a great week skiing while enjoying the best high end laid back ski lodge in Alta this place is for you. Families, large groups - men & women, couples, singles all return to this best kept secret year after year, generation after generation. The slope side view is spectacular, rooms/beds exceptionally comfortable, gourmet food incredible, spa heavenly and the pool along with the indoor/outdoor hot tubs are the best there is. Apres Ski in the lounge is filled with skiers swapping stories in everything from Rustler Robes to ski boots while enjoying very generous and creative appetizers with complimentary wine. The staff welcomes everyone to be part of the family and the guests/staff quickly become your new friends. They are most accommodating no matter what situation arises and are there to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. From their own ski hill complete with lift, to the convenient ski lockers, game room, 24 hours coffee/tea bar and morning stretch classes you won't find another lodge anywhere that comes close to making you feel right at home like the Rustler does. No wonder we keep going back year after year - heaven!
