I have stayed at Alta Crystal Resort three times, and each time has been a warm, cozy, pleasant experience. Every room accommodation has a fireplace with instructions on how to make a perfect fire. Every bathroom has quaint and appropriate decorations and bathroom necessaties expected in a mountain resort. Every room was clean, and the beds are very comfortable with... More

we just returned yesterday from our week long ski/snowboard trip to alta crystal resort. our room was spotless, the bed comfortable, and nearly everything worked just fine. the staff was great and we enjoyed the extra activities, including everyone's atrocious singing at karaoke. probably due to the complementary wine. last week was the record snows and rains in the area...

We were on a vacation after the christmas holiday we chose Alta Crystal Resort. We pulled up and it looked very nice, you could see steam rising off the heated pool and hot tub. We walked in to the lobby to check in and when we told them we had an extra car the manager freaked out and was very... More

Thank you, Manhatttan Traveler, for your kind words. Yes, I am one of the owners and yes, I enjoy my job. I especially have fun at the evening events since it makes our place more personal and I've met many, many wonderful people over the years whom I would never have met in my "old" life before Alta Crystal Resort....

The staff here are good folks and it pains me to leave this feedback but this pricey place leaves much to be desired. The setting is wonderful, near crystal mountain and the national park. We checked into a room filled with smoke. The front desk says this on rare occasion happens due to weather inversion but can be handled but... More

We just finished our holiday season and we are happy that the vast majority of our guests had a great time, and many reserved for next year at the time they left. It always pains us to find out someone did not find us up to par as we try very hard to meet and exceed guest expectations. We are... More

Just a short drive from Mt Crystal resort/chair lift, we stayed here with friends this past August. What a nice little respite!! Comfortable rooms, and a beautiful location for hikes, etc... the Proprietors were very nice, and had a 'BBQ' dinner that was 'to die for'. At a cost that was "complimentary" ie: you put your donation in a 'tin... More

My girlfriend and I just returned from a weekend in the Honeymoon Cabin at Alta Crystal Resort. To wrap the experience up in a word it would be PHENOMENAL. We were immediately more comfortable than we could have hoped to expect the instant we walked in. The quality of the facility was first rate. We were keen on being able... More

The one thing that I expect a hotel to have is a good mattress and functioning plumbing. The hotel website claims that the rooms have been recently remodeled. Yes, the fixtures, drapes and carpet look new, but the new foam pillowtop could not disguise the thin,cheap, saggy and ancient mattress underneath. The toilet flushed one in every 10 times that...

I've stayed here three times, most recently over Thanksgiving 2011, and always had a great time. The location is beautiful and it's a short drive up to Crystal Mountain (and Sunrise in the summer). It's true that there are no close restaurants, but part of the fun is that the location is secluded. We always bring food to cook in... More

Lovely resort / condo. We stayed here Oct 15-17. There were only 3-5 other occupied rooms during our stay and I never saw any of the other guests---it was like a ghost town. We arrived at 10:30am on Oct 15 after having just flown on a red eye from Orlando the previous night. The first thing out of the woman... More

Thank you, Running Nurse, for your nice comments about the rooms and about Travis. We are very sorry that we couldn't accommodate your early check-in and it sounds like you feel we didn't handle it very well. It is true that mid-October is the start of our slow season, but we had just had 4 groups staying with us in... More
