We've stayed at other Alta hotels in past years and have enjoyed all of them. But in 2021 (and again this year) we upgraded to the Rustler and were not disappointed! If you are looking for an old-school ski lodge experience where the food is delicious, the views spectacular, the guests friendly, the bartender knows your drink, the staff enthusiastic, then Rustler is the place. Most importantly everyone (guests, staff, etc) shares a love of skiing this unmatched mountain! If your priorities are high threadcount sheets, pampered room service, or saving money...then you may do better elsewhere.

If someone's coming to Alta and says they're going to the rustler. My eyes light up and I tell them of the wonderful breakfast dinner and lunches I've enjoyed there. The food is so excellent, and completely takes the stress out of finding a meal while on a ski vacation. In addition to food, the Rustler does everything well. The pool is lovely, in the sun and clean. The sauna and steam room are top notch. There's a reason the Weasels do business with the Rustler. It's because they're incredibly consistent, just like us.

We have been staying at the rustler for 20 years. The quality has remained the same throughout this time. Good clean rooms. Awesome food. Lodge feel. Great bar. It is the place to stay on the mountain that has the best snow in the world. And no snowboarders!!

Family or friends, it’s a great place.
