Alpenhof Lodge

A nice Swiss chalet looking hotel. Rooms were big n good. The USP was the complementary breakfast, which was really great. The timings were very guest friendly, 7.30am to 10am. So we could catch the sunrise at Oxbow n Mormon row n come back n hv a hearty breakfast. Great staff. We had burgers for dinner, which was decent enough, in case u are too tired n not willing to go out.

Close to ski hill is the best I can say. In thirty years of travel this rates as my second worst place to stay ever. We were impressed by the on line photos.
We stayed for one week march of 2015 The following are the facts (please also see pictures) 5 broken and cracked tiles in bath floor, large crack inside toilet, crack in sink, curtains broken, front door lock wouldn’t latch, front entry stones broken, patches and wall repairs, fireplace smokes (directions say keep door cracked), doors and jambs severely worn, all furniture in restaurant worn, toilet plugged several times. Exposed nails, un finished trims and sub par finish work. restaurant food was barely passable. We purchased several events and were not given important information regarding those events. Several other beautiful hotels around close to ski, don’t stay here unless you want to feel like your staying at a friends broken down cabin.

Place is horrible. Walls are thin, you can hear everyone around you. Toilets are old so they don’t flush very well. The showers were made for people that are 4’8″. I nearly threw my back out trying to take a shower. I don’t know why I was expecting an A/​C unit but, I was dying of heat one night. Went down stairs and the kid at the desk in a pretty rude fashion told me that he wasn’t an engineer that he couldn’t do anything about my room. I don’t know how he thought that would help me. Then he told me to open a window and he would bring me a fan to pull cold air into the room. However, the beds are comfortable. And the restaurant staff was really nice and the breakfast is really well done.

This is really sad. I had such high hopes after seeing the menu online. I really love Bavarian food.
Sadly, the restaurant lacks any character or theme décor. There was no music and it was dead silent. The service was unenthusiastic and the whole experience just left me depressed.

Good place to stay, not very Western, more foreign but a friendly staff and comfortable place to stay. Needs some updating but not bad. High prices for what it is but I’m assuming that’s due to the amazing beauty in Jackson Hole.

We have stayed here twice over the past 2 years. It is pretty good. Clean family friendly hotel.
Rooms are large and breakfast is included.
The bar upstairs is good. This year i must say the waitstaff up there was not very attentive. We will continue to go back

All I can say is this place reminded me of my childhood when going to my grandparents house. The desk clerk Peter really made us feel at home. We stayed here in the off season. The hotel is aged but is very cozy. Our room was large and had a kingsize bed. The best part is it is pet friendly our dog Barney had a great time. It is located at the bottom of Jackson Hole ski resort. I’m reporting this the night before we leave, from other reviews it says there is a free breakfast. I’ll write more after that. Awesome breakfast best assortment of food I’ve seen in awhile.

We could have stayed forever :)
Beautiful lodge and such a wonderful comfy room. We were so happy the week we stayed. It was off-​season, so there was only one other couple, but they still pulled out all of the stops. The breakfasts were divine, and the restaurant for dinner was one of the highlights of our trip. They really did take great care of us.

Great hotel! It’s cozy, Bavarian interior is warm and welcoming. The location is prime – about a 2 minute walk to the tram and base, 3 – 4 min walk to neighboring eateries (Nick Wilson’s & The Mangy Moose-yum!)The concierge, Peter, is kind, friendly, and helpful. Our room was upgraded from a single queen to double queen w/​balcony! Definitely a pleasant surprise. You won’t find a mini fridge or microwave inside the room, because here it’s about simplicity! If you’re there during the winter and have leftovers I’m sure they’d keep just fine outside on the balcony! The front desk brought us a water boiler for tea and the occasional package of instant noodles.
There is a delicious breakfast buffet every morning – eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, cereal, oatmeal, toast, cold meats, cheese, fruit, and yogurt. There are also made-​to-​order waffles, pancakes, and french toast! The Alpenhof Bistro has a great lunch menu as well. Try the knackwurst and sauerkraut, as well as, the schnitzel sandwich. After a day of snowboarding/​skiing you can grab a complimentary cookie in the lobby! Soft, gooey chocolate chip and oatmeal apricot.
Strong wifi connection in the room. Chose to leave laptop at home and my phone did just fine. Après-​ski dip in the hot tub and pool, must do! You might also encounter in the lobby their resident golden retrievers. Sweet, mellow dogs who like to roll over for a belly rub!

This was a really disappointing meal. I went here with some friends very excited for fondue and a nice meal, and instead we experienced inattentive service and food that was, for the most part, very poorly cooked. While our fondue was fine, the entrees we ordered were almost uniformly bad. My goulash looked like it came out of a can, and a chicken entrée was so overcooked that it was almost impossible to cut with a knife. We really expected a lot more, and left unsatisfied. It was an unfortunate end to an otherwise awesome day at Jackson Hole.

What a great hotel. Yes, the room was small, and we had a hard time getting it cool enough in there in the July balmy night (despite the window AC unit), but it was quaint and clean and quiet.

Wonderful place to stay! Front desk was super accomodating. I made a mistake when I booked on Expedia, accidentally reserving the date prior to the date I planned being in town. The young man at the desk was SO friendly and accomodating. He really went out of his way to fix my screw-​up and did it with a smile on his face. Wow. Since they’d already charged my card for the no-​show reservation the night before, he just hooked me up with a room free of charge to even it out. I’m sure this was made easier by the fact they had extra rooms on both nights. I might have lost a lot of money and may have had to sleep in the car had this been their busiest season.
First of all, the reason we booked this place was primarily because it was pet friendly, but boy, we found a gem in the process. The lodge was warm and inviting, cute, and reminded me a bit of visiting my grandmother’s house as a child. Our little dog enjoyed sniffing the lodge pet, Lucy, who is a very sleepy lab and basset hound mix.
Free breakfast buffet in the morning was excellent– I loved the fresh fruit! There was also a good selection of juice, pastries, eggs, bacon, waffles, toast, bagels, and cereal.
The only downside was that the bed wasn’t very comfy and the room was a bit smelly, as expected with a lodge of it’s age. If you like a very firm bed, this is the one for you. I do think this place could use a carpet replacement to help with the smell.
Very close to the ski lift if you’re interested in that and in the proper season. Bus stop is right out front, too. Also, walking distance to a couple restaurants and sports apparel stores.

The Alpenrose restaurant where you can get fondue is way overpriced. We paid $ 17 for a side of mushrooms, garlic, and to have mushrooms mixed in with the cheese fondue. That is outrageous. Plus I ordered fondue for 1 person, but they charged me for a 2 person meal. Definitely would have rather had a hamburger and saved the money.

Stayed here with my family and wound up with a sick child in the middle of the night and no car. The night time desk clerk offered her personal car! May not have all the glitz and glamour of The Four Seasons, but this kind and compassionate staff member won our loyalty and business forever. Clean comfortable rooms, ski storage, boot dryers and solid restaurant make this place very desirable

The fondue was OK — nothing special though. The service was a bit slow and the staff not very attentive.
An all around pleasant after skiing experience … but if it were anywhere else it would not have been a very memorable meal.

I stayed in the Queen Dolomite room as it was the cheapest, and I was paying out of pocket for a business trip. The room was a bit small, but this was fine as I was on my own for this trip. The bed was a very comfortable pillow-​top. The bathroom was also small, but to my delight included a tub (c’mon, who doesn’t like a good soak after a long hike in the Tetons?).
Overall, the room was a bit small, and though updated at some point, still retained artifacts from the hotel’s construction back in the 60’s, but was a very comfortable and «Homey» room.
What really makes this hotel shine was the fantastic service from the employees (and the dogs that live in the lobby). Each and every employee I interacted with was very friendly and helpful without it seeming like they were doing so because it was their job. I mean, it seemed (GASP!) as if these were genuinely friendly people that actually liked interacting with customers!
While there, I ate at both the bistro, and the alpenhof restaurant, and can say that the food is quite good at both places.
To sum things up, if you want a super deluxe fancy schmancy über-​modern hotel, then this is not the place for you. If you want a friendly and comfortable place where the staff will make you feel like part of the family, then this is the place for you.
Also, who doesn’t like having a friendly golden retriever solicit butt-​scratches from you when you walk in?

I am currently staying at the Alpenhof on a ski trip. It’s a great hotel, and I would highly recommend it.
Location: About a 2 minute walk to the ticket office and tram, and a 3 minute walk to the ski lifts. You cannot beat the location. It’s about a five minute walk to the Mangy Moose. The bus ride to Jackson is about 10 – 15 minute. The bus ride back is about 20 – 30 minutes.
Room: I stayed in the Queen Gable room. I liked the sloped ceiling. The room is paneled with wood. Has a great alpine feel. Flat screen TV with lots of channels. Has a love seat, a coffee table, and a desk. The bed is very comfortable. Bathroom is adequate, though the shower drains a bit slowly. The toilet drains a bit slowly too. There is also free wifi.
Hot tub /​pool: Both are great. They are outdoors. I went swimming a bit… it’s warm, but could be 5 degrees warmer.
Food: Breakfast is complimentary. Otherwise, for folks not staying at the hotel, it’s $ 14 per person. The fruit at breakfast is great — strawberries, blueberries, grapefruit, grapes, cantelope, honey dew, pineapple. There is also eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, pancake/​french toast, muffins, yogurt, danish, oatmeal, coffee, orange juice, cereal, and milk. The eggs and potatoes are decent. Today, the eggs were pretty good. I haven’t really liked the bacon and sausage as much. The bacon is a bit thin. The oatmeal is a bit gluey — I think it’s the quick cooking type.
Service — good service. Room cleaned well. Check-​in was easy.
I would recommend this hotel if you are skiing at Jackson Hole.

The Alpenhof Lodge is one of the original places in Teton Village. We stayed there 1÷9÷2010 — 1÷15÷2010 and enjoyed every minute of our trip. We were upgraded to a Tyrolean room by the wonderful owners. The lodge is not four star accommodations, but more than makes up for that with superb service in every aspect of its operations and friendly attitudes of all encountered. Honestly cant say enough good things about the Alpenhof.
The complimentary breakfast was awesome and had anything you could want. Hot foods (eggs, sausage, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, hash browns, etc.), cereals, fruits, muffins, beagles, cheese, cold cuts and on and on. All good stuff!
The Alpenrose (inhouse) Restaurant is genuine authentic swiss/​austrian food and delicious to boot. Fondue is great as is everything else we had there.
The Alpenhof Bistro (and bar) is great for après-​ski action. Good german beers on tap (as well as full bar) and a full munchies menu. Nachos are back and are awesome as is the fondue and the fresh baked pretzel. The Dusseldorf mustard served with the pretzel is unbelievably good and I can eat it straight!
Overall we had a wonderful experience at the Alpenhof Lodge and hope to return as soon as we can.
Also, the newest addition to the family is a lab and basset hound mix that wobbles around the lobby getting all of the love from the ladies.

Chose the tiny size room to save some $$. And it was really tiny! The nicest part was the free breakfast. And experienced the European style ski lodge, for its architect style, interior design and Bavarian furniture
Pretty much that was it. Perhaps a bigger room (with more $$) will change the way I felt and the rating I gave…

If you want quiet, cozy and accommodating then look no further than the Alpenhof. Bonus points are awarded for its convenient access to the Bridger Center as well as the new Tram for all those people who want to start waiting in line at 7:30am on powder days. Extra bonus for the fact the bus picks up/​drops off right outside the front door so if you feel the need to go into the town of Jackson (believe me, you do), you don’t have far to stumble home.
If you like adorable dogs whose highest aim in life is the ulitmate belly rub, this may also be the place for you. If you don’t like dogs, the two at the Alpenhof are the most sedate creatures I’ve seen in my life. You can pretty much ignore them but you have a calloused soul if you can turn away from those brown eyes.
We don’t care much for ultra-​luxury so the clean and quiet room we stayed in was perfect. The king bed was the most inviting thing EVER after a long day hitting the slopes — we had a very difficult time getting out of it once we got in! There’s a decent flat screen tv but no DVD player in the room — you can rent one for $ 8 dollars but it’d be nice if it were included so I took a half star off for that. It would also be nice if there was a mini fridge/​microwave in the room (maybe hidden in the closet or something? I don’t know!) so you can eat your fabulous leftovers from Teton Thai. I took another half star away for that, too.
Overall, everything was clean, including the hot tub and we LOVED the complimentary breakfast. We’re not talking bagels and pastries but a full-​on breakfast — eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, etc etc. Okay, and breakfast also includes bagels and pastries. They also host complimentary fondue parties. Not ones to turn down chocolate fondue, we meandered down there to find a cheese fondue which was still very good. We just had to use our 20% off coupon for dessert later in the evening (suggestion: be sure to get the chocolate fondue at some point. It may change your life).
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying here again!
