We showed up to the lodge area because that was the address listed. Upon getting out of the vehicle the two men looked at us and asked if we were in the right place. They had a little paper list and asked our name, they said ohhh you’re in the “inn” like we were dirt. They told us it’s a couple roads down. We went to the inn and the check in guy was a totally rude. Again treated us like trash. I asked a few questions about the restaurant and pool times, he replied rudely. We went to our room which was nice enough. Then back to the lodge for dinner. Dinner at Gretchen’s was great! Michael the server was the first normal and nice human we interacted with. Then my son asked if we could do ice skating so we go out and ask the concierge at the lodge who says she doesn’t do that and doesn’t know the price and gives us wrong directions to the skating area. We eventually find it and it’s too late and no one is there to get skates etc. The next morning at checkout we did finally have a nice lady concierge at the inn. It’s clear they get lots of rich customers and that’s who they prefer over the average customers like us who had been road tripping and hiking which is why we came here. Lesson learned, never again despite the cute town. I don’t enjoy spending my hard earned money to be looked down on.

It would be nice for them to specify if these rooms are at the Inn or Lodge. They are close walking distance, but the lodge has better amenities. It is purely out of convenience because you can still use lodge facility if staying at the Inn. Beautiful area, great pool/hot tub, food is average, and excited to go back when kids are a little older for some fun on the beautiful mountains.

Public spaces, bar, restaurant and surroundings are beautiful. The pool and hot tub at the Lodge were highlights. Rooms are absolutely fine but decor is dated. Staff varied from charming and proactive (door man, bar tender and wait staff) to curt and unhelpful (both times the person at the front desk).

There are a few amenities which were not correctly disclosed about this property There was no jacuzzi at the sun valley inn and we had to walk in cold weather to use the jacuzzi at the main building This is not a ski in ski out property and the hotel does not have a shuttle and you have to use the city’s bus service which is fine but makes too many stops Rooms open to parking lots and you are away from the main building where the main lounge and bars are located I would not have booked a room had I known these facts about the Sun Valley inn

Love the friendliness, service and attention to detail provided by the staff. Would live to see better lighting around the bathroom mirrors and more towel hooks ( Sun Valley Inn). Also love the fact the resort is "dog friendly."
