Sun Valley Lodge

I think this is a beautiful hotel. Food is good not great but really upsets me is they have 2 gorgeous SWANS in their pond. They have clipped their wings. This is considered CRUEL. It hurts the bird physiologically and physically . For a bird to FLY is a key component of their existence. I’m shocked it’s 2025 and they are choosing animal cruelty!!!

Checked in with King Suite with view. Got to room on 1st floor. Turned out to be the basement with 2 small windows at 5ft above floor and dirt level of garden outside. Went to front desk to discuss it. Manager was not available and never returned message call. Room was $1300 on weekday. Yes $1300 per night. Couldnt cancel. Front desk and managers were not available to discuss. Never again.

Going slowly downhill . Expensive to stay .amenities close early … One of the best amenities the giant circular pool. Zero service after 6… BUT, it closes at 9 pm ( sunset doesn’t happen until 10at least ) I’ve never been to a 4 star resort that literally starts yelling and kicks people out (40 people: families, kids ect ) at 9 pm . Customers very disappointed. Spa , bowling , everything closes early.

This place is amazing. The room was great and the bathroom is incredibly large. The pictures of people who have been there lining the walls. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even provide what they call "Magic Ice". You call the front desk and the ice is delivered to your room.

Spent 3 nights at SVL while skiing Bald Mountain It’s dated but sort of by design because of the rich history. Has sort of a country club feel. It was very busy, super crowded in all common areas and restaurant. Lift tickets can be purchased at the front desk, which was convenient Rooms - renovated and nice. SmartTVs and otherwise well appointed Restaurant - excellent with friendly and attentive staff Gym - Excellent, renovated and spacious Location - not ski-in, ski-out (Sun Valley does not have any hotels that are ski in/out). But short walk about 3 minutes to the bus stop. Bus comes every 15 minutes and runs exceptionally on time, so easy to plan exactly when you want to get your ride to the lifts. About 10-15 minute ride to the River Run lifts. Walking distance to some small shops and small restaurants, but there is not much else in the immediate walking area. Front desk Staff - Adequate Overall - Nice experience. Would definitely stay again but certainly would be price conscious because it’s more of a upper 3-star or lower 4-star experience, so would only be willing to pay the correlating prices for that level
