Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Alta

  1. If you're looking to travel to Alta on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $85. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $202. Staying a short amount of time in Alta is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Alta, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Alta, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Alta, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Alta cost?
Budget hotel prices in Alta vary, but you can find a great deal from $85 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—off-peak and mid-week stays are typically cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Alta?
The most affordable time to visit Alta is generally during the shoulder seasons, specifically late spring (May to early June) and early fall (September to October), when the ski resorts are closed and demand for accommodation is lower. During these periods, you can often find reduced rates on lodging and airfare, and the crowds are significantly smaller.

For solo travellers, these shoulder months offer a peaceful experience, allowing for quiet exploration of the natural beauty without the bustling winter crowds. While the ski lifts won't be operating, the surrounding trails become accessible for hiking and mountain biking, providing free and enjoyable activities. You'll find many lodging options, from cozy guesthouses to larger hotels, offering attractive off-season pricing.

If you're a couple looking for a romantic getaway, the early fall, with its vibrant foliage, presents a particularly picturesque and economical time to visit. Enjoy scenic drives through the canyons, picnics amidst the autumn colors, and evenings by a fireplace, all while benefiting from lower prices on stays and local dining.
What free activities should we do in Alta?
While Alta is primarily known for its winter sports, there are several free activities that solo travellers can enjoy during the off-season, offering a different perspective of this beautiful mountain town. You can explore the stunning natural surroundings without spending a dime.

During the warmer months, Alta offers numerous hiking opportunities. Solo travellers can embark on trails like the Cecret Lake Trail, a relatively easy and scenic hike that leads to a picturesque alpine lake, great for a peaceful afternoon. Another option is the Albion Basin, which transforms into a vibrant wildflower display in late summer, providing a breathtaking backdrop for a leisurely stroll or a more challenging trek. These trails offer a chance to connect with nature and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

For those interested in the town's history and unique environment, simply wandering through the Alta Historic District can be an engaging activity. You can admire the rustic architecture and learn about the area's mining past through informational plaques. Additionally, the Alta community often hosts free outdoor events, such as stargazing nights or nature talks, particularly in the summer.
Is it cheaper to book a Alta hotel and flight package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect vacation package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Alta for you.
