Female private room was clean and nice as it was just for two people. But this place isn’t super comfortable for women traveling alone. It is filled with older men on boys trips or who stay there longer term. Very few women around the facility. Communal meals are only large tables where a female traveling alone is expected to be the entertainment for men in their larger groups. There are no smaller tables where one can sit alone and read. Would not feel comfortable staying again as a female traveling alone.

The property is convenient to skiing but very outdated. The alpine rooms are small and in need of a major upgrade. No amenities in the room whatsoever - no tv, one set of overhead lights, one pair of outlets in the entire room, rooms were VERY warm at night with no ability to control individual room temps, Our shower wouldn’t drain and as they were unable to fix it we had to shower 2 doors down. The staff was very friendly and helpful but in an outdated property such as this, there was only so much they could do. Food was fine (not great) but we did find that eating every meal with others you didn’t know was sometimes not what we wanted to do. It would have been nice to have that option, but not expected at every meal. A good place if you truly just need a bed after a long day of skiing, but if you want any amenities whatsoever this may not be the place for you.

This is a classic old ski lodge. Ski shop and all your skiing needs are in-house. Classic all-inclusive meal plan. You are seated with different people each night for dinner. Rooms are rustic, but as expected for a building that was once an army barracks. The old school vibe can not be beat.

Everything was as good as it has always been. We greatly missed 'movie nights',fresh cookies in the main lobby at the end of a ski day, and while walking buy the front desk the staff no longer looks up and says 'have a great day'.

Absolutely classic ski lodge experience
The Alta Peruvian Lodge is a step back in time to classic early era ski culture. Resorts like these are hard to come by and it's an absolute treat to stay there. I can't wait for my next trip.

This is a great place for access to Alta and Snowbird. The facilities are a bit old, but it makes up for it with wonderful dining. However, dining is in groups. This made it really fun and friendly, but may not be for everyone. The bar is also quite fun and entertaining.

Mixed, But Would Return If Plates Are Clean
We gave the Peruvian a so-so review, but would be happy to go back. The facility needs to be spruced up, yet it has ski lodge charm. The staff was friendly and helpful, yet it was under-staffed and daily maid service was unavailable. Seems like a lot of money for no service. Our room was nice and clean when we arrived -- no issues at all there -- but kit seemed that the dishwasher was broken and some of the plates left out for use at the buffet were outright dirty -- food still stuck on -- disgusting. No hotel anywhere should ever allow that for more than a second -- yet that's the way it was for several days. That's pretty much breaking a cardinal rule of hospitality and reflects a lack of management care. All that said -- I'm pretty sure that will NEVER happen again at Peruvian. Love the family dining, location and apres ski pool situation -- along with lively bar

Great trip
Its an old style ski lodge right at the base of the mountains… wonder location and view… every staff member we encountered was nice and helpful.. always professional.. they were experiencing a staff shortage like most businesses at the moment… the meals were good, available amenities were great.. we are already reserved again for next yr.. its a European style lodge.. seating for meals was family style so that was fun.. lunch and breakfast was buffet style. It was a lot of fun

Rooms are tiny and offer very few amenities. Not even enough room to dry ski clothing, etc. Very retro atmosphere with communal dining. Property definitively needs an update, especially with exorbitant prices they charge

Not fancy, but the perfect stay for your ALTA Ski get away. The staff went above and beyond. My wife injured herself on the ski hill, which required a visit to the medical clinic and an all day stay in the lodge. The staff completely took care of her, made sure she was comfortable and provided transportation to and from the clinic. Thank you.

Ski lodge. Full dining included with a great food (a lot of it). Good service! Need to walk to a ski lift (but they provide a ride to families if needed. thank you!). You can hear your next door lodgers well, good luck with quite ones! Overall, a great ski lodge!

Hi, and thanks for the comments. Yes, as a ski lodge, we do hear the comments about the "neighbors" noise, and we do try to do our best to control the decibel levels. As for the walk to the base area, due to the COVID environment, we have suspended our base area shuttle for the season. We do hope that you can make another trip to the lodge in the future. Thanks, PSP
