Sun Valley Resort

Great place

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.

I booked a stay at the Sun Valley Inn expecting a relaxing and enjoyable weekend, but my experience was anything but. I originally wanted to stay at the Lodge, but since it was full, I opted for the Inn based on its reputation. Unfortunately, it was a complete disappointment. They put me in a room next to a broken handicap-accessible door that let out a loud, high-pitched squeal every time it opened. Between that and the paper-thin walls, I could hear every single sound from the hallway—people coming and going at all hours of the night. I got the worst night of sleep I’ve ever had, which completely ruined my weekend. I was only in Sun Valley for two nights (Friday to Sunday), meaning I had just one full day to ski—but I was so exhausted from the lack of sleep that I couldn’t even go. On top of that, the room itself was a huge letdown. For the price, I expected something nice, but instead, it was worn down and dated—nowhere near the level of quality you'd expect from a high-end resort. When I brought up the noise issue to management, they admitted they were already aware of the problem with the door—so why would they put anyone in that room to begin with? They did move me to a different room, but the damage was done. I asked for a full refund for the first night since my entire weekend was ruined, but they only offered half off. To top it all off, they still charged me a resort fee, even though I had already prepaid for everything (including taxes and fees) through Priceline. For over $500 a night, this kind of experience is completely unacceptable. Instead of a relaxing ski getaway, I ended up stressed, sleep-deprived, and frustrated. I expected far better from a place with Sun Valley’s reputation, but I won’t be returning.

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).

Wonderful place to stay for a weekend getaway. The property village has everything you could need and more. My wife enjoyed the spa while I enjoyed the skiing. The bartender Josh went above and beyond on my wife’s birthday. Hope to visit again sometime in the future.

Perfect
