Top Salmon-Challis National Forest Hotel Reviews

Tamarack Lodge Sun Valley

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a great location to walk to restaurants and shops. The room was very clean with a balcony overlooking the courtyard."

The Village Inn Motel and Restaurant

8/10 Good

"First thing we did upon getting in the room was to check the bed sheets and the toilet, both of which were quite clean. The place is dated, but clean. The floors everywhere in our room, above and adjacent to our room give a good squeak upon every footstep, which to me was a throwback to some houses I grew up in, I didn't mind it. Staff were friendly."

Mountain Village Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great hot tub looking out at mtns! Rooms very basic but comfortable. Heater was loud"

Sacajawea Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Room was clean. Location was perfect for visiting my family that lived near by. Staff was able to adjust my stay time even though they had the wrong dates. Only recommendation is to get some reflectors to assist visitors with knowing where the entrance is at night. Lights are understandably expensive but possibly reflectors can really assist with seeing where to turn in. Thank you very much for accommodating our stay."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Hailey Sun Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Y"

Sourdough Lodge

"Highly recommend Limelight Hotel in Ketchum. Beautiful facilities and excellent staff. Loved our stay!"
