"Breakfast was mediocre at best. Bisquits and gravy, or oatmeal were only hot choices. 2nd night on this trip bathroom lacked shampoo and conditioner. Riverside is the only side to be. Very hospitable to raft trip meetings."

"The location of the inn was great! Staff was awesome. It had its own pool or you could use all the amenities at the sun valley lodge as well. I thought I had booked the lodge. That was a little confusing and I was a little disappointed about that but after staying at the inn it was great. The only thing that wasn’t awesome was the bed. It was a bit firm for us. The parking to our room was close so that was great. I’d stay here again for sure."

"5 stars everywhere. Fantastic hotel and facility. Only area of improvements were in our room's bathroom design: 1. The dual sink was too big and did not allow for more counter space 2. shower door design caused the bathroom floor area to be wet after a shower Minor items for consideration. Thank you !"
