The alarm will be up at 6 AM. There was no button to pressed to turn off the alarm. The breakfast on Saturday morning was not good. Also, there was no coffee available. Apparently the coffee needed to be delivered from Starbucks. While we were in the Jacuzzi, we were told to get out due to the fact that more chlorine needed to be added. I have stayed at this hotel, many times and have always enjoyed it. Unfortunately, this day was less than pleasurable.

The staff preparing the pizzas were not wearing gloves during the pizza prep. Bare hands reaching into the containers grabbing cheese and toppings turned us off from ordering. We were also told that the bar couldnt make a pina colada due to no cocunut based liquers. The buffet was very nice and our room was clean. Front desk and shuttle service was very accomidating.

Makes you pay for stuff you dont need or wont use.

Based on the fact that we paid thru Hotels.com, there was still an additional charge for services and things that we did not use as we were staying for business. When asked if we could waive the charge, they said no. Because of this, I will never use this hotel again. $163 for Guest Amenity Fees, which are • Airport transfers to and from Sun Valley Airport (didnt use) • Ski Valet and storage (seasonal) (didnt use) • Bike Storage (didnt use) • In-town transportation, including daily shuttles to River Run (seasonal) (didnt use) • Daily expanded continental divide breakfast (Did use, but not wi=orth the extra charge) • Wireless internet service (didnt use, I have a cell phone) • In-room coffee & tea service (Didnt use) • Seasonal Adventure Program activities (Didnt use) • Audi Test Drive Program (didnt use) • Pool & Hot Tubs (didnt use)
