Very nice. Small but up to date and clean. Looks can be deceiving from the outside, as it doesn't look like much from the outside. But we were very pleased with the clean and comfortable room. Betty the manager is very nice and helpful. And being at a reasonable price compared to all the other hotels in the area we... More

The LiftTower lodge is cute and reasonable. The owner will help you find the perfect place to eat or the best bar for a drink. The rooms are small, but very clean. The price is very reasonable! We will stay here again.

Not quite sure why this rates so high. Who has a 20 inch standard def TV in any motel in the US. Small room, very small bathroom, what NO hair dryer for $89 a night. Clean and warm with small window in the shower (no bathtub) that looks up toward River Run in the distance until the steam fogs it... More

Not to be compared with $250 per night condos or the Sun Valley Lodge, this little throwback to days gone by was great. It is what it is, an early Ketchum motel with parking in front of your door, basic bath, creaky floors and a TV on a wall bracket. There is no lobby fireplace, valet anything, fancy pool, or... More

Right on Main Street in Ketchum. Rooms freshly refurbished in cute ski-y themes & super affordable rates. Locally owned. Look for the big lift tower sign right as you come into Kerchum on the South end of town.

We thought this place was GREAT. The management was very pleasant and accommodating. The room was very clean, the bed was great. The location is close to the bike trail. They have a small refrigerator with free bottled water. We will be back soon.

We enjoyed our stay at this economical motel a short walk from the River Run Lodge. The bed arrangement for our family of 5 was great with a Q, double and single bed in one room. The room and bathroom are petite and the price was OK. 4 of the 5 of us slept good but one thought the bed... More

For the holidays, my family always enjoys visiting Ketchum, but when there's six of you lodging can be expensive and space limited. The Tower Lift Lodge was perfect! We got a big room with an extra room attached, which allowed us plenty of room to be comfortable. It was close enough to walk downtown and to the mountain. And the... More

Stayed one night at this small lodge while traveling through this area. This place is very clean and pleasant. The owner was very helpful with details of the area and reccommendation for dinner and breakfast. Both which were excellent choices. It is ideally located within walking distance of all activity in Ketchum. My husband and I enjoyed our stay.
