The Sun Valley Resort was built in 1936 by the Union Pacific Railroad. It is located in the…read moreNorthern Rockies region of south-central Idaho & is open year round. There are many outdoor recreational activities. At the base of Bald & Dollar Mountains are scenic vistas, sports & activities. The grounds are meticulous, lush & serene. There are many shady places to sit & enjoy the landscapes. We are over 5,000 ft high so it's cool, breezy & dry. There is a camp with children's activities. The outedoor ice rink near the pool are luxurious. A racquet center with tennis & pickleball courts was busy. Bike rentals & horseback riding were popular. There are many dining & shopping options at various price points, however nothing here is a bargain. I did find beautiful unique gifts in the shops. The mountaintop dining options are closed for the season. Marilyn Monroe, James Earl Jones, Tom Hanks, Ernest Hemingway, Rosa Parks, Tony Curtis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Lucas, Candice Berger ... all stayed here & have fun photos in the lodge.

I recently skied in Sun Valley for the first time. It was a cool place and I enjoyed myself but it…read morewasn't the best skiing I've ever had. In fairness the mountain hadn't had much fresh snow recently and it would probably have been better with some more snowfall. The terrain wasn't the most interesting though. The bowls off the top of Bald Mountain were cool and I appreciated that a lot of the easier groomers had mogul runs off to the side of them. As with many big name ski resorts in the US the lift ticket prices here are extremely expensive. You do get nice facilities though. The lodges are all very pleasant and I think that Sun Valley has the nicest ski resort bathrooms I've seen. The lifts are also well laid out for lapping the good terrain. As others have noted there's no real ski-in/ski-out lodging here. The town does have a free bus service but they don't run very frequently.

The lovely Carol's Lodge is a great venue at the small family related Dollar Miuntain ski area…read more Named after Carol Holding, wife of Earl Holding and a co-owner of the Sun Valley resort for several decades, Carol's is a substantial structure holding a locker area for personal equipment, restrooms, a ski rental shop and a large dining room with an adjacent food service area. The food itself isn't quite up to par with some of the other Sun Valley resort venues, but they do have a large assortment of sandwiches, pizza, soups, baked potatoes and a bar which serves wine, beer and cocktails. It's much nicer than many other ski resort facilities and goes far beyond a burger, hot dog and chili menu. The dining room itself is a deluxe cavernous space with lots of tables and cushioned seats. Like most of Sun Valleys facilities, it is well thought out, with a professional staff and designed to provide a top tier experience.

As a nervous skier who didn't learn until adulthood this is my mountain. While it doesn't quite…read morehave the amazing energy and other perks of Bald mountain it's a great low-key mountain to learn to ski. The pros: - Minimal (if any) lines - Fabulous instructors (special shoutout to the amazing Clay who has taught all 3 of my kids to be amazing skiers...and even more importantly to love skiing) - Plenty of options for a day of beginning skiing here: 1/4 dollar, 1/2 dollar (when it's open) and full dollar for a challenge - The last day on dollar is super fun for families with music, costumes and the famous pond skim event (loved watching those risk takers try to get across the pond on skis) To be improved: -1/2 dollar seems to be closed all the time limiting us beg skiers to 1/4 dollar - 1/2 dollar chair lift is also pretty old and needs to be replaced - Dollar closes way earlier than any other ski resort I know, which impacts many spring break travels. Would love to see them keep it open an extra few weeks and close when they close Baldy - The very expensive food caters to kids, but could use some healthier and tastier options for us adults learning to ski Overall, I've become very fond of Dollar mountain during my trips to Sun Valley and would love to spend more time doing spring skiing there if they'll keep it open just a little longer in future years.

She calls her friends in the back of the line and asks them what they want while 5 people are waiting In front of her friend.

So 5 stars for the building and ambiance. 1 star for the food. While they have an extensive gluten free menu the staff is NOT knowledgeable!! And their laziness led to a very miserable experience. Be sure you ask for the manager to find out which soup of the day is gluten free and confirm that it is. Then remind them to switch out the roll for a potato, then all is okay. With some basic training, they could take this places to 5 stars all around.

Once we saw they had pizza, we bought a whole pie for $47 with tax. Each slice is $11 and still the cheapest option so we bought a whole pie and could customize with any toppings we wanted.

This review is difficult to write because there were genuinely good things about this hotel…read more The staff members we met were friendly. The dog welcome bag was a nice touch. The dog relief area was excellent, and the views were beautiful. Unfortunately, the room itself was a different story. We booked this hotel because our Labrador was scheduled for TPLO surgery the next morning, and I specifically requested a ground-floor pet room since she already had a leg injury. Instead, we ended up carrying supplies and walking an injured dog up and down stairs every time she needed to go outside. The room had an overpowering odor, stained carpet with pet hair, blood on the comforter, and several maintenance issues. The smell coming from breakfast the next morning was so strong that my wife became sick. What really changed my opinion wasn't just the stay--it was what happened afterward. Instead of immediately writing a negative review, I contacted Best Western Corporate and tried to resolve everything privately. I submitted a detailed timeline, offered photographs, and waited while Corporate contacted the hotel multiple times. I was repeatedly told someone from the Tyrolean Lodge would contact me. No one ever did. That lack of communication ultimately convinced me to write this review. I genuinely hoped management would simply acknowledge the concerns and discuss them with us. Unfortunately, that never happened.

this is my experience at the best western Tyrolean Lodge:…read more BREAKFAST: the place was very, very cute and very Fancy! I had waffles I had breakfast potatoes with ketchup and it was really really cute and very very yummy. My sister had cereal And hot chocolate. BEDS: best beds I've ever slept on in hotel very very comfy. I slept right next to the air conditioner. but the only Downside of the bed is that it sometimes gets too cold or too warm. ROOM: the balcony is lovely, even though it was shared., the bathroom was very well decorated. it had a marble counter and it had a bunch of different pot products that you could put on your skin and hair the TV also wasn't very well place. It should've been it should've been in the middle of the room. so both sides of the room could see equally. POOL: there's a pool here and a Hot Tub and it's very very nice but the only thing that isn't good about it is that in the pool it has a bunch of pinecones in it and other unwanted debris Game Room: there is a game room here that has 4 Game ping-pong, air hockey, tic-tac-toe and foosball. And there is way more. There are a lot of board games in the lobby as well. Wi-Fi: was very hard to get to the password and wasn't even really that good anyway. Other things to add: this is the best hotel. I think I have ever been to. I recommend coming to this place if you are a deep sleeper. and are willing to pay a high price. This hotel feels like it's never ending. It's really cool. They are outdoor rooms. There are indoor rooms. It's so big! This is the coolest hotel I've ever been to! (Also try the mints in the front lobby they're very delicious!) Happy Father's Day to all!

The lobby is closed at night and does not open until 8am. The room smelled of old mildew or simple age, not appealing.

We stayed during ski season and here are the things I was most happy with (in no particular order): * The said it was a continental breakfast so I wasn't expecting all they offered like fresh local bagels and pastries, fresh berries, cut up pineapple, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, a very high quality granola, oatmeal with all the fixings, a pancake machine, juices, coffees with syrups and milks, lots of high quality tea choices, scrabbled eggs allow and with some mix-ins sometimes cheese or veggie, hard boiled eggs, meat like bacon sausage patties or links, sometime or potato like hash brown patties or shedded hash browns, roasted veggies, and on the weekend days they offered salmon with capers and onions. Plus flavored yogurts in individual containers and whole fruit like apples, oranges, and bananas. * humidifiers in the room. The hotel is so dry. We live at elevation in Park City, UT but Ketchum is drier! We ran the humidifier on high constantly but it was so great they offered this in the room. * they have a parking garage. It is $30/day AND there are easy access free spots around the hotel, but I imagine during peak season the offered parking is best. And it's covered so your car will be snow-free! * the heated pool for year round enjoyment (and two hot tubs). The air was too cold for my liking (because you have to get out eventually). * pretty decent gym with peloton bikes. * oh and the restaurant happy hour seems to be a hit with hotel guests and locals. The one huge downside was because it's so dry and they don't have a humidifier installed for the hotel, we got static shocked every time we touched the elevator buttons or unlocking our room. And it hurt! And when you're in town, I recommend the city museum, the wolf museum, the library, and the cemetery. And if the pedestrian paths are snow-free then head down Sun Valley Road.
