We are so sorry to hear you had issues during your stay. I have reviewed your reservation and do not see that you mentioned any of these issues to us during your two night stay. We just finished our remodel and have all updated furnishings. If you would like to contact me directly I would love to hear more specific issues and find a way to improve your experience in a future stay.

Inattentive, inexperienced, ill-informed, often absent, part-time front desk personnel. No amenities. Locked up like an armed camp. Way over-priced for a marginal lodging experience.

I'm so sincerely sorry you felt so strongly about your stay with us. I have checked your reservation from weeks ago and did not find any complaints or issues with your stay that we were made aware of. We are fortunate to have staff that have all been with us for many years. We have pool, hot tub, bikes for free use, games in the back courtyard, etc. We do not have anything locked up. Our property is exterior access. So we cannot lock things up. We are the best rate in town for location with offerings. Tamarack Lodge just finished a full remodel of rooms and made many improvements to the property as well. Please, contact us directly if there is something more specific that we can assist you with. We work hard to ensure great experiences for all of our guests!

Great location in the middle of Ketchum! Spacious room. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Three complaints: the room was smelly. Sort of like, dirty feet. Had to get a room freshener. Also, ran out of hot water in the shower. ( weird) And the towels really need to be replaced. Some were very discolored. Front desk was great. They texted me before, during and after my stay!

Proximity to downtown Ketchum and Sun Valley Resort was excellent. It would be nice if there were some sort of filtering or sheer curtains or translucent shades for the windows. There are only blackout drapes and roller shades. If the roller shades were Roman style are could roll in reverse that would work as well. Front desk staff was very friendly.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We do have roll down and roll up blinds in the first floor rooms for privacy and sheer drapes behind our blackout drapes. We will take into consideration adding the up and down blinds to the second and third floor rooms! Hope you come and stay with us again.
