Great place if you don’t need a lot of amenities.
This is the perfect spot if you are looking for an economical place to stay in between ski days. The attached restaurant makes meals and apres drinks very convenient, and the staff is beyond friendly!

We were so happy with our stay here. Room was pretty standard with bed, dresser and bathroom. The location is perfect. There is a bus stop right at the lodge to take you to and from the mountains for free. The restaurant served amazing food and we ate there every night. Any entree on their breakfast menu is included if you stay overnight making it the best breakfast at a hotel we have ever had. We will be staying here again next time we visit for the slopes.

The convenience of location to ski was worth it.
Definitely felt the age of the place, old wooden doors(a hallway closet door was hanging off the hinges). Our room was at the end of the hall, next to a curtain which hotel supplies. No TV's or alarm clock in the room. Sharing the entrance to the lounge with that of the restaurant, didn't fell cozy at all. Bar maid was also the front desk, which was odd. We did eat there one night, and the prices were outrageous for the quality of food. No elevator, so if your elderly, or have an injury, the narrow steps up to the rooms were a challenge. BUT, the rooms were clean, and location to lifts for the price, you can't beat.

This is a small 7-room property which operates primarily as a restaurant/bar, which was closed by 9pm. The staff was very nice and friendly. The rooms are rustic/quaint in decor and there is heat but no A/C. FREE BREAKFAST is included and it’s VERY GOOD! Not just a limited menu or a small buffet, but access to the FULL MENU. I had steak & eggs every morning and it was always top notch. There is no actual front desk, so I checked in with the restaurant personnel. This is basically a bed & breakfast, but instead of private owners, it’s run by the restaurant. I was part of a wedding group and we had a great time. Don’t expect fancy or full-featured… it’s more comfortable and rustic. But the price (I paid about $120/night was very reasonable for the area and the included breakfast makes it a VERY good value.

Any member Oct the staff I dealt with was courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. The included breakfast was outstanding, as was the waitress service.While I was there in early May and didn’t deal with any cold weather, the presence of a space heater in my room indicates that adequate heat could be a concern during winter months.

Refreshing
If you’re looking for the comfort and frills of a chain hotel, this is not it! This lodge is owned by the mayor, and is quaint and quirky. I absolutely loved this as a nice getaway from the valley, the heat and the crowds. Didn’t know that the restaurant closes after lunch on a Monday, but we were able to find a pizza place open up the road. Breakfast was amazing.

Wonderful breakfasts, wonderful staff in restaurant, cozy lodge. Very clean. Condition of room: no drawer pulls on bureau, hole in floor covered by rug, paintings on walls of English countryside with fox hunting-not a big deal but not the best choice. Overall I really enjoyed staying at the lodge. The breakfasts were wonderful as was were all servers. I would return for sure.

Milking the cow
This property has two great features. First the public bus stops in front of the hotel and the ride is 5 minutes to Solitude. Second, the food in the restaurant is great value. Portions are made for mountain men. Unfortunately, these positives are balanced out by negatives. The property was was acceptable 40 years ago when skiing and staying in the canyon was still bohemian. Since the owner has not made any significant investment in the real estate. The place needs simple things like sound insulating windows (the building is 20 feet from what has become a very busy road) and removal of the wood burning fireplace in the lodging area that leaves you smelling like smoke and wishing for clean air. A hot tub would be a nice feature, but with nobody but restaurant staff who one or two also act as lodging managers. there is no one to keep the chemicals in the water balanced. Bottom line, the building has exceeded its economic life. The owner knows this and that it is a tear down for a new mixed use development. Any money invested is unwise. He is just keeping it running to live on the cash flow until someday when he decides to sell for redevelopment.

Place needs serious Upgrades
I was excited to stay at the Silver Fork Lodge, it was very close to ski resorts and was sold on its rustic look. Boy was I fooled. First, let me say this if for the lodge only, the restaurant was fine and food was good. I now know why they dont put many pictures on on the website of the rooms. I stayed in the family suite, upon checking it, I was immediately taken aback by the number of space heaters in the room. I then knew why, the main heat in the bunk bed room did not work at all. The heater in the main room, worked, but looked extremely old and the thermostat fell apart when adjusting the heat. Next on the list was the shower curtain, upon opening it, the rod fell completely off the wall and I was unable to repair myself. Lastly the noise, this place is right on the road and every car that comes by sounds like its in your room. This place is in serious need of renovations, specifically because I think its a major fire hazard waiting to happen. I booked 4 nights. and left after 1, It was that bad. Upon my complaints, I was asked if it was the no TV's that was my issue, no it was not, I was aware of that going in to it. Also no mini fridge in the rooms, even though that was not a major issue. I didn't even fight the refund as their policy is clear, although I feel like I should have been offered a partial. I hope this review can help others.

Perfect location for lots of trails and good go between for Salt Lake and Park City. Only thing bad was no TV in room and there was a wedding which took room with TV. No table in room so it was difficult to play cards or do something while wedding was going on downstairs. Could have left the restaurant area open with the tables for guest. Just a suggestion. Breakfast was awesome!! Definitely would come back again.

Check in is 4-8. We arrived at 4. Not one person was on the property. There was a note taped to the door to tell me how to check in. No staff, no other guests. The empty feeling was scary. No TV. We left and didn’t even spend the night.

The environment and food are excellent!!! But the bedding and other services for staying overnight is moderate. For the price we are OK. However, we felt the the bedding and other services, like lighting, air-conditioner, soap, facial tissue provision would not cost too much.

A rustic/retro experience! Rooms are up a flight of 15 stairs which are a tad narrow. Dining room closed at 6 PM but we were able to get meals possibly because there was a rehearsal dinner going on downstairs. TV is in the common area which was quite comfortable. Our room (Wheat room) was very quiet during the night. The bathroom was separate from the sleeping room and the plumbing (toilet, sink, shower) functioned well. Breakfast is complimentary and selected from their regular menu. Huge portions! Anticipate first class mountain and scenic views approaching the lodge from either direction!

Swiss Days stay
The room was quaint and cozy. The bed was comfortable. No chair in the room either. The sink had a problem draining very fast so notified management in morning. No onsite manager available after the restaurant closed for rhe night and we could not get the tv and dvd player to work in the puplic game room. Another guest helped us figure out the tv and satelite box, but then we could not find a remote to play the dvd player. We got in late and just wanted to veg and watch a movie. Nothing good on tv except sitcoms. Disappointing and noone to contact for help. The next day reporting this the girl just brushed it off, saying well it is a public room and kids probably were playing with it. The breakfast in the restaurant, however was excellent! It appeared this was their focal point. Many people just stop there to dine. Very popular for meals. We did enjoy our one night stay, all in all.

It's not shiny or new but you have an epic location and a great atmosphere. My wife and I had a great evening followed up by a delicious free breakfast. When we were done we drove the car 3 minutes up canyon and spent the day hiking in the gorgeous Wasatch Mountains. What more can you ask for. The price of staying at Silver Fork is a fraction that of staying at any of the ski resorts and is only a couple minutes away.

There were no amenities. No staff on duty for the hotel. Air conditioning was an open window with no screen, with a unit in it that would fall out if you touched it. Restaurant staff was delightful though! Delicious breakfast from the restaurant. Absolutely nothing in the room, not even working lightbulbs in the bathroom. No conditioner or body wash. No plugs for phones. Nothing. It's sad because this could be the cutest quaint little place. It's in a beautiful area with lots of history, but just needs some work on the rooms. If you're going to completely unplug and read a good book, and don't need any amenities, this is the place for you.
