    Slow slow service, food was good, they have a nursery in the restaurant, kids running around, noisy, not the best ambiance.

And a card fee Well for 13 nights I was charged 400 dollars. I'll let yall do the math on your own, it don't add up) tried running our card multiple times at the beginning of the month without even contacting us first or checking to see if we were even planning on staying, WiFi never works and when you ask them to fix it they just tell you everything's working on their end, maybe it's a problem with your tv. (Tv is a fairly new Roku Tv, bought last year never had issues connecting it before.) . Had a never ending problem with mice here. (I caught 6 mice within less than 2 months.) And when loading up to leave, our water spigot wouldn't turn off. So I called to let them know that there was an issue and the lady was very rude and just told us "well our maintenance man will be a while before he gets there to fix it, its obviously been frozen and you signed an agreement that you'd wrap it to keep it from freezing, so you'll have to go and buy a T to shut it off, or I'll have to charge you for damages for flooding our park." (Which we did abide by our agreement, it was wrapped with heat tape and a foam insulter, our water didn't freeze up one time) Very rude and over all unprofessional. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The bathtub had somekind of dirt or something coming from the ceiling in it. Needless to say we did not take showers. The bed and the pillows I believe were the original ones from when the place was built, not good at all. The bed made noise everytime you moved and you rolled right to the middle of the bed and the bedspread had big yellow stains on it. The windows and windowsills were bad, cobwebs and dirty. You could see through the curtains, the light from outside came right through them. The carpet was DIRTY. Outside was just as bad, the chairs that were on the little porches were broken and hadn't been cleaned in years. The owners of this place have not done a good job keeping it up-to-date. The town is small so you don't have a big choice were to stay. Won't be doing it again.

The buildings and grounds are neat and well kept up. The family that run the motel were very nice and were helpful with advice about where to eat, things to do etc. Our cabin was clean, large and furnished with a table, 3 chairs and dresser. There was a kitchen area that had a coffee maker, microwave, sink and fridge. The bathroom has a full tub and plenty of space. The towels were nice and thick. The air conditioner worked great, if a little louder than I like. There was very little noise from the highway. For $60, this was a deal!

When we replied that we were concerned about the housekeeping department not closing the door completely so that it would be locked he said the housekeeping employees had been there for years and that it would not be an problem. Unfortunately, when we returned to our room after sightseeing later during our stay we discovered that housekeeping had not completely closed the door. We were able to enter the room without using our key. This was the second time we found our door was not secured. One employee's response about the door problem was "it's an older hotel"! Our numerous complaints about the door were mostly ignored and not addressed by hotel employees. The severe headaches and breathing problems I experienced only occurred while I was in the room. They began shortly after we were in the room awhile and completely went away after leaving the room. We only used the fireplace a few times for short periods at the beginning of our stay. We discontinued using it because we were afraid it was causing the headaches and breathing problems. There was definitely something in the room causing my headaches. My sister also had issues with her breathing while in the room. Her bed was further away from the fireplace. The manager's response To my complaint was uncaring and inappropriate. Her inference that the headaches and breathing problems were caused by hiking was ridiculous! I do have severe asthma and allergies but did not experience any headaches nor breathing problems while sightseeing (from our car). Hiking was not an option because of recent back and knee procedures. Walking is difficult and that is the reason I requested a room near the elevator when making the reservation. Unfortunately, the room we initially given was at the far end of the hallway. The second room was a few doors closer to the elevator but still quite a long walk for someone with mobility problems. Our complaints about the multiple issues we encountered during our stay were largely ignored. Management was not helpful.

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.

After he told us what time the bar and kitchen close, we quickly made our decision of what we wanted to order. When he came back he walked right past us and SAT DOWN with two other girls at a table to talk and flirt with them for about 10-15 minute. we decided to go to the bar to order becuase he was chatting away and there was no bartender. the cooks were very nice though. FINALLY he came over to us when we were standing at the bar I told him that we just wanted to order before the kitchen closed, and he awkwardly took our order. When my friend asked if they had decaf coffee, he said they "don't really have that" BOY what do you mean a hotel does not have decaf coffee?! so I ordered what I thought was a rhubarb crip pie. I thought it would be worth it, boy was I WRONG. I can handle bad service but after spending $15 damn dollars on a dessert my ice cream was old, we could taste the crystals and some was a little chewy, in case you don't know that's not how icecream sound taste. and when I looked at my "Freshly made" pie it was literally rhubarb filling with some soggy stuff on top. NOT freshly made, and I couldn't eat it, I was so sad. Also we never got an apology, so that sucked. as Gordon Ramsay would say, " apologies to your customers and shut it down." So limelight, I just want my money back or something because that was an awful experience. - Angry Customer!

I deal with intoxicated people almost daily so it didn't bother me but it was unprofessional. We got through it. When I walked in I saw a dark spot on the floor. Touched it with my toe, it was wet so naturally I get on my hands and knees to smell it. Call me weird, I don't care. Turns out it's dog pee. Cool. Because I got the last room and the employee was drunk I opted not to bother telling him. What else was he gonna do? Flip flops on all night. The room was fine, like I said, I didn't expect much. It was a place to sleep and shower. When I checked out the next morning I told the employee about it. He was more sober and admitted he'd started in the Jack a little early the day before. I told him about the wet pee and he was upset about it. He asked why I didn't tell him and I responded that he gave me the last room and what else was he gonna do? He walked off to go look at the room and said they'd refund me. Still waiting for that refund. Quite the experience.
