Best Western Tyrolean Lodge

The location was great, walkable to town and had a nice open area adjacent to walk our dog. I appreciated having an espresso machine in the lobby.

The beds and pillows were not very comfortable. It didn't seem like a great value for the cost, but we recognized that it was spring break in a ski town.

The hotel was clean. Friendly staff. We had a pretty mountain view from our room that included a little balcony. The swimming pool was heated and the hot tub was nice.

The staff did not know answers to some questions about hikes or things to do around town. We arrived early evening (4:30 PM ish). We wanted to go on a hike to see the area. The FD rep did not know of any hikes or when we could go on the gondola ride up Bald Mountain. (In his defense, we asked several locals and they did not know either) The balcony was cool but it was connected to other rooms. It was one large balcony across 4 or 5 rooms on the 3rd floor. Traveling with just my daughter and I, I felt a little uneasy. There was a bar in the sliding glass door that barred the door shut for extra security in addition to door lock.

I liked the receptionist. She was extremely efficient after I had a bad experience with people partying in the room above me, into all hours of the night. I was comped my room that evening. Overall, I had a bad experience. Additional note: I have always known Best Western Hotels to be associated with very great service and standards over the years.

Very close to River run base Lodge. Great breakfast. Great views of the resort.

Old creaking floors.

Worn mattresses

We stayed here four nights while skiing and exploring Sun Valley and Ketchum. While the rooms and lobby are a little dated, everything is clean, and you cannot beat the location. There is a bus stop right outside the facility, or you can walk or drive to the main lodge. We left at 8:30 each morning and had a close-in parking spot by the lodge within five minutes. The lobby features comfortable couches and a fireplace; we enjoyed chatting with other guests each evening. There is also a 24/7 latte machine in the lobby.
