Top Thunder Spring Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn by Hilton Hailey Sun Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was diverse and the staff was pleasant and helpful."

Wood River Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is clean and well maintained and the staff was very nice. A previous guest changed the settings on the room tv and I couldn’t log in to my account. The front desk gentleman helped me get it all working. The room was spacious and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The hotel is a great location. It’s walking distance to several restaurants and a grocery store."

Tamarack Lodge Sun Valley

8/10 Good

"Spacious room. Was pretty clean. Location in downtown Ketchum was perfect. Bikes at the hotel were nice to go and check out their wood river belt. We didn’t care for the beds. Not very comfortable which is a personal preference But it was very noisy. Lots a road noise and business noise early in the am. Make sure you bring a fan to try and drown out the noise. Otherwise staff were very helpful and nice and room was very spacious"

Best Western Plus Kentwood Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Reasonable room rate. Nicely maintained property with a western rustic vibe. No breakfast but the Wraps place is right next door and The famous Kneadery is only a couple of blocks away. Well worth the 5 minute walk. Right across from the Appellation Hotel construcion project so there is noise during the day but convenient if you are in town for that project. Limelight Lodge across the street has a great happy hour on the patio."
