We stayed at Brian Head Lodge during a ski-and-stay promo that made our trip affordable and convenient. It wasn’t perfect, but the location and value made it a solid base for a ski weekend. Here’s what to expect and how to watch for future deals if you’re hoping to save.

Our Stay: What it was really like
We arrived late after the drive from out of town to a packed, snow-covered parking lot and icy walkways. Check-in moved slowly with one staff member and mandated paper forms, but we eventually got into our room and settled in.
The Room
Better than expected.
- Clean
- Good layout
- Mini-fridge + Wi-Fi
- Thin walls and loud beds if you or your neighbor move at night
Not luxury, but genuinely comfortable for a ski weekend.
Amenities We Tried
The pool was closed when we arrived, and the hot tub was completely drained. A little disappointing, but the game room redeemed the evening, air hockey and arcade games were fun, just bring cash and plan to buy tokens.
Checkout mirrored check-in: slow, understaffed, and out of coffee. Not a dealbreaker, but noticeable.
Pros & Cons

What We Didn’t
- The Pool waterfall was off and the hot tub was drained

Would We Stay Here Again?
Yes, particularly if a lodging or lift-ticket promo surfaces again. This lodging is comfortable, close to the mountain, and easy for a ski-focused trip.
