Cliff Lodge & Spa - Snowbird Guest Reviews
We booked this property because we ski 2-3 times a year and really prefer the ski-in, ski-out location. As our first time heading to Snowbird/Alta, we wanted something near the slopes. While Snowbird does not offer a rich variety of lodging, the Cliff seemed to be the best of the options when viewed online. Upon arrival the building looms like a concrete fortress stretching across the base. Built in the 80s, it screaming for refurbishment. We were there for the holiday season and the place was dark and dingy. Barely any holiday atmosphere with the only Christmas tree being stuck in the basement. The hotel lacks a common area or grand fireplace which would give it atmosphere. The hotel tries to hide the concrete with carpets everywhere which seems an odd fit to the Utah locale. It reminded me of ski vacations I took in Slovakia in the early 90s - large concrete souless hotels with drab interior that somehow depresses you. The rooms were functional, but nothing special. Flat screen TV a bonus. Save yourself some money if you must stay here and avoid the mountain view upgrade. It's a farce. We were on the 7th floor and you get a nice view of the parking garage and part of the slopes. No big deal. The other side you will also see the mountains as the lodge sits in the canyon. The food options were lousy across the resort. The lodge's Aerie Restaurant was closed for repair, so the only other options were in the dungeon/basement of the hotel. The buffet breakfast was mediocre. Like most buffets, they load it up with cheap carb items and I think the eggs were powdered. At 15.99 a person, you'd think they would offer more higher end options. Service across the lodge was haphazard. The breakfast gets chaotic and servers forget you. The valet staff are the best. For the rest, you could die in a corner in the place and probably be swept under one of the smelly carpets. Yes the hallways smelled musty. The coffee across the entire resort was terrible (of course this is personal), but they should just let a Starbucks in, since they can't seem to get it right. To be honest, you come to Alta-Snowbird for the skiing. Do yourself a favor and just stay in Sandy, Ut. You have more dining options and life around there and the slopes are within very easy quick drive.

This is a bit older hotel but has been maintained really well. The rooms were clean but the bed was not comfortable at all and bathroom was dated. Hair dryer was good and worked quickly. The dehumidifier didn't seem to help the dryness at all. The hot tubs were nice and not very crowed during pre-ski season. You can ski-in ski-out to Snowbird. Staff were amazing and very helpful and very nice. Not much in the Snowbird area for eating except the main restaurants- the Mexican one is wonderful. I would stay here again if there was a sale.

It was a nice trip till they imposed a $20 dollar a day resort fee. I have never had that done before and consider it a complete ripoff.
