Mountain Village Resort

We had a beautiful stay here. The room we stayed in was clean and the water pressure in the shower was great. We booked the private hot springs for morning and night. The morning has the best views. The springs would be best if there was a cleaning tool to use, because there were a lot of floating things that were human related. But other than that the private hotsprings were perfect! The best view is the shared hot spring. But you can't beat private sessions. We would definitely come back again.

The rooms were very clean, dog friendly. Customer service is excellent. Hot springs were amazing!! Love that you can reserve private springs. We will definitely be staying here again!! Very affordable!!

Amazing location! Had my pup with me. The room was a bit dated, but the not pet friendly rooms looked to be a bit nicer. The hot springs were unbelievable and definitely worth a return trip! Convenient with restaurants, gas station, and general store in walking distance. Lots of grass to exercise the pup. Lastly, every staff member I spoke with was super kind and helpful!! 10/10 will visit again

Take this review for what it is worth as I did not get to stay there and this is based strictly on my experience attempting to stay here. I made a reservation back in April for a September wedding. While trying to make the reservation I was having trouble with the website, so I did it through Expedia. I called the resort to make sure Expedia was a good way to book and they told me that it was and it was all automated. After this I received all the booking confirmations and my card was charged. About a week before my reservation, my partner emailed regarding hot springs reservation info. In this email she included my reservation information and my name. They responded to this email, never indicating any issues. The day before I left for Stanley, I called to confirm my stay one last time and they did not have a reservation for me and they had no rooms available. I spoke with the front desk person several times who could only respond by saying they had no idea how this happened and that they never received anything from Expedia. So then I checked with Expedia and they confirmed that they sent what they needed to and something must have happened on the hotel end. The front desk worker said they would call their manager and call me back but never did. So, I ended up with no where to stay. Due to a fireman's ball and wedding, every hotel was booked. I understand using Expedia is not ideal but there were several opportunities to catch this. Additionally, Expedia provided screen shots showing that the reservation was communicated with Mountain Village back in April. Ended up having to sleep in my car with lows in the low 40's at night. Extremely frustrating and disappointing. ***Editing in response to the owners response: I understand my name did not end up in the reservation system. This is something the front desk attendant and I tried to figure out. Per Expedia, they sent everything needed and at the time were able to provide confirmations of that. Two, still standing frustrations are these: 1. The front desk person over 6 months ago confirmed Expedia as a legitimate booking avenue and stated the things were integrated/automatic. (Again, I only used Expedia because your website was giving me issues so I wanted to make sure I got a reservation locked down. 2. When my partner emailed and provided my name and reservation information a week prior to my stay, no issues were raised. Her name is Laurie Sherry and I am sure her email is able to be located. I have included Expedia's confirmations to this review now.

This was our first time in Stanley, Idaho and I wasn't really sure where to stay. I'm so glad we picked the Mountain Village Resort. Our room was comfortable, the restaurant next door had good food. (We had breakfast and dinner there) Staff was friendly and helpful and the hot springs that are on the premises were very relaxing and great scenery. I would definitely come back.

Rooms are what you'd expect. Comfy beds though. Service is good. My only complaint is the hot springs tubs are by reservation but if you reserve an hour, it's not private. They cram you in a tub that isnt made for 6 people. My girl and I walked in and saw this and walked right back out.

Overall, I thought this was a decent hotel to stay at. It wasn't the best I've been at but decent nevertheless. It was very convenient for us. We went to the Salmon Festival in Aug 2025 and main event was right there. So we were able to walk over there. I will say that rooms could use maintenance though. It was very hard to get out door open. Luckily it was not blistering hot at night while we were there. I don't think there was A/C but we did have a fan in our room. We opened the window and were fine. We do plan to stay there again if we go up in 2026. I do think better instructions on how to get to the hot springs is needed. I had no idea and started walking down the road to find it. Luckily a lady from one of the shops there came out and helped. The path also needs better lighting or something. It was basically pitch dark and road it dirt, gravel, and some large rocks.

We didn't stay here but we rented one of the private hot springs and it was worth the money. Friday night we went for dinner and had the prime rib special it was so good we went back the next night to have it again. This time we went to the bar area and a man passing us heard us talking about the prime rib and he asked if it was good and I told him this was the second night we were there it was so good. The kitchen manger Cody over heard us and asked if we wanted a free dessert and he gave us two slices of peanut butter pie which was delicious also and super nice of him. Cody takes a lot of pride in his food and it shows. The prime rib was amazing but the mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables were as good as the meat and the peppercorn sauce was out of control good!!!! We ended up talking with Randy the GM and Cody and had some laughs. The bartenders Zack and Karen were great and the special margarita was yummy too. Thanks for making our last night in Stanley a great one.

I'm surprised by a lot of the reviews on yelp about this place. My husband and I did an overnight trip at Mountain Village resort. We had a great time there. We stayed in a 2 queen room. The room was spacious and clean. The mattress are a firm memory foam. I have a herniated disc in my back and had no back pain in the morning. Which is not typical with hotel beds for me. The hot tub soak was amazing. You really can't get the same experience anywhere else. The front desk staff was friendly and we had no issues. There are a few things people need to realize. This is a room facing the parking lot hotel. You can hear people in the parking lot. It's not over the top but you can hear people. It's a hotel and I always hear other people. So this isn't an issue for me but I guess it is for other people. If you have mobility issues, this may not be the best spot. The stair case upstairs is made out of real logs. It looks very pretty but the pitch of the stairs is off. My husband and I both felt a little awkward going up and down the stairs. The hot tubs are also a 10 minute walk from the hotel. It's not a bad walk but it isn't level. I would be worried if I had an elderly person with me or if someone had a knee or foot problem. We made a lot of memories and would come back from another trip when we can!

Nothing to rave about with this hotel other than the access to their hot spring. We rented a room for the night just to get out of town for a little adventure. Prices aren't the worse, but you get what you pay for. Basic room with no air flow other than a window, but it was incredibly smoky so we didn't want to open the window. So the room ended up feeling super stuffy and stagnate. We ended up getting a time reservation for the free hot spring option too for sunset which was pleasant other than the smoke. Doesn't seem like the reservations matters as a bunch of people kept showing up.

Only one of a few places to stay in Stanley, so not surprising that it is expensive. More options in Ketchum. Front desk folks were nice and helpful. Hot spring reservation system works well, especially if you reserve a day ahead. Beds are firm which I like. Rooms basic but clean. Walls are thin. One of my deluxe rooms had a smart tv and the other did not, so if that is important to you then inquire when booking.

highway noise, employee smoking next door, even after asking staff to request they stop, value was 100.00 a night versus 300.00 they charge. note website shows cabin outpost, no there is no cabin outpost, it's owners house, felt ripped off, saddened by this low budget place.​ when you go to hot springs of there's, loud intrusive rude peeps ruin it. never to return.​

Pretty disappointed by this place. Although we weren't guests we went to the front desk to book a time to use the hot spring. The guy told us it's first come first serve and to come back in the morning at 8am when they opened and we would most definitely get a spot. We did exactly this and the woman at the front this time was unkind and said we couldn't soak and was uninterested in even trying to make this work for us. She also said they opened at 7am, so the guy the day before completely lied to us. I think they need to get all their employees on the same page with rules and hours. It is also pointless to call because they do not answer their phones. If you're planning a trip out here to soak don't count on this place.

Very dissatisfied with the staff and service this company has to offer.. we walked in yesterday and we were pretty much guaranteed a spot by the male owner (since they do not take reservations) the next day. He was even kind enough to show us the hot spring and said in his words "I can guarantee there's not going to be anyone here, come in at 8am tomorrow and we'll be able to get you in." Well, the next day approaches and we arrive at 8am and were also told by Bree (who was very rude) the wrong hours of operation. She said they opened at 7am and they only prioritize their guests that stay with them (in my opinion is a horrible operation of business) and the next available time they had was after our checkout time/ after we were supposed to leave. We feel taken advantage of and advise you to not count on this resort for hospitality or your travel endeavors. If I could leave zero star I would.

Basic rooms were clean and stocked. Staff pleasant, wouldn't say they went out of their way to be inviting. Natural hot spring is located on the banks of a water way- beautiful scenery. The hot spring itself was dirty and unkept for my taste.

Although we were only here for one night, it was an incredibly pleasant experience! The outside does not appear to be anything special, but the rooms are very clean, very aesthetically pleasing, and they were able to accommodate us last minute. The staff is friendly and everyone seems happy to be here!

Great service all around!! Really loved how we were treated. I love coming up to Stanley and this was the first time we stayed at the mountain village resort. The only thing I have to complain about is the back breaking beds. They are no joke silent killers, luckily if you signed up to reserve time at the hot springs in the morning the wonderful view and hot water will mend you up nice. Worth the price, every single penny, but will definitely bring a mattress topper next time Great food and DRINKS at the restaurant and all your needs across the street if you need or forget anything! Again, such wonderful service and beautiful views . Can't wait to return!

It's basic. The beds need serious updating and the pillows. I usually bring my own soaps etc so I don't have to rely on the hotel. We did snag a hot spring spot in the early morning and it was great. It could use cleaning I agree but it was fine

We went there for our wedding anniversary. It was on week day and snow falling so this place was quite and we were able to enjoy hot springs multiple times! Need to walk / short hike to the hot spring but you will soon forget about that walk as soon as you jump in to the hot spring. The office people were nice and all the stuff works at the restaurant, bar are super nice! We would definitely come back and stay here! Thank you for amazing stay!

The Good: The resort was very quaint and clean and Stanley is a beautiful town. The food at the restaurant is pretty tasty and much of the staff seems very nice. The Bad: The cook at the restaurant destroyed $50 worth of (what was supposed to be Medium) Prime Rib by sending it out so rare the mashed potatoes were soaked in blood (he also seems confused about what asparagus is). Several other tables complained about the severely under cooked meat as well. Some of the staff also seem to have disdain for having to serve tourists (even though it's their life blood). The Resort also has an inane policy that will allow you to book a room in advance, but not a hot spring appointment. That's first come first serve, so people arriving on Friday book all the openings and the people coming in later are out of luck. That's just bad management. The Ugly: The beds are so bad it feels like sleeping on a lawn chair in a bag full of Doritos. Springs poking through the mattress. Boxsprings so old and noisy that when you move it wakes up everyone if you get up to use the restroom. The walls are so thin you could hear a gnat fart in the next room.We had a family with 4-5 young children next to us, which was so loud it ruined the mood of our romantic weekend getaway. By the time they went to sleep the Cirque du Soleil party started in the room above us and went until dawn. Needless to say, between the noise and the garbage beds, we got no rest at all. Overall: It's a beautiful place to visit, but the Resort needs to invest in better beds and insulation, and maybe rethink it's reservation policies. The restaurant serves decent food, but nothing earth shakingly good. $100 on a bad dinner (anyone can have a bad night), and $40 on an average breakfast won't have us coming back anytime soon. That said, the area itself is gorgeous.

Ate lunch at the restaurant (it's decent) and went to the hot springs as a one hour rental (we didn't stay there). Cost like $35 for 4 of us. It is a short walk from the parking along the river. We had the place to ourselves and while it was 27 degrees outside, it was perfect in the water. My wife even decided to go in the rotenburo (outside pool) by the river but didn't last long. Inside the hut is where it's at. Def recommend, especially if you can get the place to yourselves.

We camped here overnight on our way up into Montana- it was perfect for a quick one night stop. Restrooms (porta potties) and hand washing station was clean and well located. Area was fun to walk around and explore. We had diner and breakfast at the restaurant and it was really good.

We had a great meal (blackened salmon)! The beer and wine menu was equally excellent. Homemade apple ala-mod topped off our meal. Thank you Karen! our server.

I didn't mind the 12" TV from the 90's since I didn't go there to watch tv. What I did mind was the absolutely worst mattress I've ever slept on. It had to be 20 years old, no cushion, sunken middle and painful springs. The place was nearly vacant but they still crammed us all together so when the people above us woke up at 5:30 am (complete with their car alarm), everyone else was awake. The door lock was nearly impossible to open. The private hot springs is 2nd to none and absolutely breathtaking. We at at the restaurant and the ribs were cooked to perfection but they could lighten up on the pepper dry rub, as that's all I could taste. Service is always excellent and very friendly Room 114.

I came here pre-pandemic during the spring. It was part of a road trip and my first time in Idaho. This part of the state is COLD in the spring! The accomodation here is a motel style situation. The rooms are a warm refuge from the cold, but they definitely need to be updated. There is a mini fridge and a microwave but no in-suite kitchen. Parking is normally available right in front of your room although there are a lot of trucks with tows so they do take up space. The accommodations themselves are nothing special and dark and shabby -- very 90s motel style. What makes this place worth a stay is the little shed with a hot spring. The pool has reservable time slots although you might be sharing with another party if your group doesn't reach its capacity. The shed is freezing and there was only one working light when I was there. It requires a trek in the snow and the change rooms will be icy and wet. Expect for your eyelashes and hair to freeze while you are in the spring, as the steam condenses. The view is nice from within the shed although they definitely need more signage indicating the way, particularly at night.

Place was overcrowded with loud parties all night for both nights we stayed--overflowing from the campground which created no parking for actual hotel guests. People staying in the neighboring camp area partied all night and rooms were hot with scotch tape covering holes in the screens so that leaving the windows open for cool air created a miserable two nights of sleep. When I asked about where I was supposed to park that night the person working could care less.

Review is for the restaurant. I ate 4 meals here within 48 hours (2 breakfasts, 2 dinners)...outstanding chow...the hash browns were amazing. Had a southwest chicken salad one night and a ribeye the next....both solid meals. Will come back here whenever I am in Stanley. Note: the hot spring is 5 stars as well. The motel?...not so much...worth it for the opportunity to soak but it is a Motel 6 level room if that...terrible beds, no wifi, tv sucked, etc. Also, I stayed 2 nights but they would only let me soak once per their policy (1 soak per visit?). Kinda lame...just think if you stayed here 5 nights and could only soak in the springs once. Don't understand that policy at all. Luckily there are good soakers for free along the river to the east. I might stay again just for the soak, but would limit my stay to 1 night considering their lame policy.

Review is for their store across the street: Cute mercantile store they own across the street but no masks required. People walked in with no masks on and nothing was said as they talked to the clerk. Sorry, not acceptable during these tough times. Put our items back and walked out. Won't be back again

We had a boys trip to Idaho, the town of Stanley was the closest place for dinner and we decided to give Mountain Village Resort a try and we are glad we did!. It was totally unexpected that a restaurant of this quality could be located in the middle of nowhere. It's a fairly large restaurant with an attached bar area. Rustic with a lot of wood but comfortable and super clean. Two of us ordered the flat iron steak with mixed vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes and green chimichurri. Both guys raved how good it was. Another had the House Signature burger which was a huge perfectly prepared burger with all the trimmings. I had the smoked pork chop with apple - pear sauce, mixed vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. The very large chop was juicy and had a delicious smoky flavor. Service was friendly and helpful with suggestions. Good selection of beer, wine and non alcoholic beverages. If you are ever in this part of Idaho, be sure to stop in at Village Mountain Resort.

This review is for the restaurant and hot springs! We didn't stay here overnight. Excellent service in the restaurant! Killer Pasta was bomb after a week in the backcountry! The view from the hot spring was epic! Got a little lost finding it, but not their fault! Super hot, relaxing and loved the sandy bottom!

A special place with a few quirks The location is awesome but obviously there's some pros and cons. The rooms are old but they have fridge and microwave amenities. The front staff of the hotel are not very friendly. However the view is amazing and the Hot Spring is unbeatable. The bartender Porkchop is by far one of the better attractions. He has a great attitude and is tons of fun. He makes you leave feeling like family. If you can handle the cons the place is truly a little gem

This is a very cool older lodge in Stanley. Stanley is a very nice older small mountain community and this lodge fits in perfect with its character. Our room was a bit dated but clean. Staff was pleasant and helpful. We were staying here one night as part of a long motorcycle journey. We enjoyed it and hope to come back. The food from the restaurant was very good and the service was equally up for the task. I would recommend this place to anybody traveling to or near Stanley. The view is gorgeous of the Sawtooth mountains and the area is just perfect. We were thankful to be there.

This hotel is amazing! Updated room was very nice, beds were comfy, hot shower, clean towels, a mini fridge and microwave. Very quiet too. We received 2 free drink tokens which we used in the bar. Bar had great atmosphere and excellent service. We had ahi tuna for dinner which was perfect! Breakfast in the restaurant the next morning, fantastic. Overall, this is a GREAT place to stay and affordable!

No, it isn't always raining or snowing or sleeting in Stanley. But whenever I find myself checking into a $99/night hotel room here, at the Mountain Village Resort, inevitably it is. Generally this is because the MVR is my dependable, Plan B overnight stop when the Sawtooth NRA campgrounds are either closed or so battered by rain, snow, and wind that the prospect of sleeping outside is ... less than optimal. Fortunately, they know this here. They live in Stanley, after all. You get a lot of snow days when you live above 6,000 feet in the mountains of Idaho, and having a warm bed, a hot shower, a lockable door, and a dry roof over one's head goes a long way to keeping one sane. So, too, do the amenities here that defy the norm: a private natural hot springs soaking area within easy dipping distance to the beautiful, if frigid, Salmon River; a $5 wooden token good for a drink (or discount) at the attached Stanley Club Saloon, where you can enjoy a bowl of beef sirloin chili (highly recommended) with a glass of Idaho or Washington wine (or craft beer). The saloon, along with the reception area, offers free wifi, while the rooms themselves do not. I tend to set up my laptop in the saloon in the afternoon, after checking in, order a glass of wine (last time it was a generous pour of 2016 CMS Sauvignon Blanc), and decide how best to leave Stanley early in the morning for my next road trip destination. Each morning, you will also find freshly brewed, strong dark coffee at the reception desk, so fill up your travel mug before you leave! Even if you are arriving on short notice, it's best to call ahead of time to book your room, or reserve it online. Although it may not look it during non-peak times of the year, Stanley's hotel rooms can fill up fast, and the MVR is the closest you'll get to a one-stop destination, complete with car repair services, gas station, an outdoor gear and clothing store, a small grocery store, a music venue, a full service restaurant, and the saloon/bar area which offers food as well as drinks. The hot springs is open to guests in one-hour time blocks; you need to register at the check-in and sign a waiver before you can use the self-service facility, which has two changing rooms next to the tub. The octagonal-shaped tub is around 4 feet deep and protected in a wooden roofed shed that has large barn doors on one end that open towards the Sawtooth Mountains and is the height of rustic elegance when it comes to such things: a soft, sandy bottom, freshly circulating hot water, a metal ladder for easy entry and access, and the chance to dunk yourself in the Salmon River (especially fun when it's full of snowmelt) and then rush back to the warm waters inside. Between the wines for purchase at the saloon, the soaking tub, the soft pillows, and the hot showers, it's hard to find fault with the "luxuries" that MVR has to offer. No, it's not Mar-a-Lago, or a AAA diamond-rated hotel. It's much better than all of that! Snow or sunshine, the Mountain Village Resort has a special place in my heart. It has saved me from cold nights and cramped mornings and given me the time and peace of mind to continue the journey. I am already looking forward to my next visit!

We got the Nachos, Western Burger, and Churro Ice Cream bowl for take out. The burger was good, the fries were great, and the Nachos and Churro Ice Cream were UNBELIEVABLE. The Nachos were perfectly loaded and well balanced with fresh lime juice. The Churro bowl didn't even make it home. Our order was hand delivered to our car not even 10 minutes after we ordered, and the employee made sure the Churro bowl was carefully handled for a beautiful presentation. I would have taken a photo but it all happened so fast!

**review for restaurant** Completely surprised how great the food was! Stanley feels a bit like a ghost town in the winter and the Mountain Village Restaurant was one of two places open on New Year's Eve. We ventured over and the place was pretty empty, only a few other patrons, but had a cozy fire and a welcoming environment. Our server was great and really personable. Drinks were cheap so naturally I was bound to love this place. The food was delectable, a small menu but had what we needed. Oh lawd the blue cornbread is tasty, steak and chili hit the spot. I'm gonna bet this place has some of the best food in Stanley and you can't beat the rustic decor!

Motel was clean, staff was very nice and helpful. We had our dog with us so we got a pet friendly room. It was clean and well kept. There is also a pet area. IF you are going to Stanley, Idaho make sure you bring your own groceries because you are over 100 miles to a grocery store. The Mountain Village Resort has a small grocery store which isn't stocked very well and there are very few restaurants to choose from.

At the restaurant. Great food, great prices, awesome service. A rarity at a tourist location. Had the savory sausage waffle. Fantastic. Flawless internet too.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THESE RACISTS! I went to the restaurant with my husband (happens to be native and black) and they refused us service. Upon arriving the chef came out giving us a dirty look and said "let them know it will be 30 minutes before they can order" we thought that was strange but sat down anyways. The waitress was just as rude, asked us if we wanted drinks while we waited so we ordered a few margaritas. She came back telling us it was now 45 minutes before we could even PLACE a food order. We said fine as we were not in a rush, then she came back for the third time telling us it would now be 2hrs before we could place an order because the chef was too busy. There were not more than 10 people in the entire restaurant AND bar. She then asked if we still wanted our drinks. My husband said "why would we pay for drinks when your refusing to take our food orders, no thank you." The waitress walked away while calling him the N word and I kid you not a "dirty monkey" fast forward to the next night, our RV was In the shop so we reluctantly decided to stay the night at the hotel. online reservations said they had plenty of vacancy as did the sign out front. My husband gets there to check in and the manager tells him they have no availability and that we can't stay there. I spoke to the guests I saw checking in before us and they said they had no reservations and they checked in just fine. Real nice. I hope this place gets shut down.

Dinner is good, but breakfast is even better. Pretty fair prices too. The decor inside the restaurant is perfect for the mountains. Hotel rooms... Well, let's just say you get what you pay for--out dated and doesn't smell the best. Everyone is super friendly whether you go to the merc, the hotel, the gas station or the restaurant. The best part of it all is the lovely hot springs. What an incredible feature on property there! They really provide you with everything you could need in town which is much appreciated when visiting the gorgeous town of Stanley.

Had dinner in the bar a couple of weeks ago. No masks on any patrons or staff. Bartender rude. People sitting cheek to cheek all along the bar. Food came quickly, but was disgusting and inedible. We ate as much as we needed to and got out of there quick, as they were having karaoke. I think they should rename the bar the "Superspreader Room".

Had a great time, Pork Chop is on his game. Needs a jukebox / live music / karaoke Food was good, a little pricy for the service. We booked the hotsprings hoping it would be a private booking and unfortunately got bombarded by other guests, we would have appreciated a heads up that others would be joining us.

Stopped here to order takeout on our way back to Boise. First off, about half of the staff was NOT wearing masks. The host/server was rude to us from the start. Our two pastas came out to $50, which seemed steep and was not aligned with the price on the menu. When we got the itemized receipt, AFTER our card had already been charged, we saw that the server had added "20% gratuity for groups of 6 or more." We were two people, and had ordered two dishes to go. The server disappeared/avoided us until our food came out. When we asked him about the charge, he said that they are adding 20% gratuity on all take-out orders. This isn't listed anywhere on their website, on their menus, or anywhere at the entrance or inside the restaurant where we placed our order. He didn't give us a heads up or even mention it. If we hadn't checked the receipt and asked about it, we wouldn't have known. Maybe he would've gotten a tip if he hadn't been rude to us throughout the entire transaction. We left wondering if he was racist and if he'd upcharged us because we're not white. Now, after reading the reviews that some other previous guests have left, that notion seems reinforced. I'm still unsure of whether all guests are being charged this 20% take-out fee, or if it was just us. To add insult to injury, the food was not good. I should've just eaten a trail bar and saved myself from this experience. Really disappointed by this place.

Two things happened at this resort that ruined our experience of this beautiful town: a complete disregard for security, and a violent, drunk, and incompetent staff. We checked into use the hot spring at the front desk, and our key didn't work. Tyler tried for about 5 minutes get the door to work, and we decided to go to the hot spring because we had a limited time slot. Tyler assured us it would be a quick fix and that the door would work when we returned. The hot spring was nice, very much what we expected from reading a few travel blogs. We lost track of time (there are no clocks on the wall in the spring I should note), and a visibly drunk staff member burst through the door. "Who are you?!" He slurred, demanding to know who we were before indicating who he was or what he was there for. Startled, we politely identified ourselves and asked for his name. "Doesn't matter!" He stammered in response. He was about 5'6" with unkept hair down to his shoulders and a goatee. We surmised it was time to leave, and we quickly gathered our things. "There's no need for an altercation!" He shouted. No one said anything about an altercation... No one said anything to him at all that would even remotely suggest it. "If you lived here as long as I had, you would have done the same thing" he inexplicably mumbled as we left. "No, I don't think I would have." I said. "Whatever, just get the f*** out!!" He yelled as we hurried back to the hotel. We found our door unlocked with a piece of paper Tyler had slid into the latch to keep it open. Our valuables were inside, and we had no indication they would be left unsecured by Tyler. We went to Tyler to complain about the door and, more importantly, the drunken man who accosted us at the hot spring. After saying "she could see both sides" of the encounter, she only offered "she would talk to him." In a customer service industry, any one of these two things would warrant a refund or at the very least an unqualified apology. They almost seemed happy to lose our business. Needless to say, their staff is completely incompetent, violent, and should have nothing to do with hospitality.

Rudest manager at the restaurant. Her name is Danielle. Danielle is nothing but an arrogant human being with no sense of customer service and I don't know how she became the manager of that restaurant. My family decided to have breakfast at Mountain Village Restaurant and she seems not having a good mood from the very start. We were welcomed with a blank face and were seated on a table that has two air vents on a cold morning. I get it, that time that maybe the only table available. We kindly asked if we can get another table because we are freezing and she said that " no, there isn't any available table". She took our orders and we got the wrong one. She gave us attitude and said " I can comp your food and you guys can leave". At that point I was shocked because I have never met a person as rude and as arrogant as Danielle. I asked for her name and she said I can get it to anyone and everybody knows her! Wow,she must be a celebrity! I don't care if she is the owner of that restaurant or owner of the Mountain Village Resort. Treating a customer like that is not okay. People visit Stanley because they want to have a good time and not be pissed by a rude and arrogant manager.

I have stayed at MVR in both the summer and winter. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's very nice to have the grocery and bar and restaurant all right there with your hotel. The hot springs is awesome and has the best view in town. The rooms are a little out dated but comfortable and cozy and clean. Room 100 was just remodeled so grab that one if you need brand new! We were able to talk with the owners and found them to be down to earth and super fun people! They even bought us a few drinks! Plenty of Parking in the winter for snowmobiles and trailers. Can't wait to go back again this summer! Top notch all the way around!

Stanley is a beautiful town! We stopped for some lunch at Mountain Village Restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. We sat on the terrace- the view is breathtaking! The waitress was really nice and the food was incredible. We started off with the potato skins- amazing Idaho potatoes! My boyfriend had the fish and chips and in all honesty, it was the best fish and chips that we had ever had. I had the chilli and it was equally tasty. The prices were reasonable and they also had wifi! Great place and I would love to go back.

This "Resort" is a joke. It's NOT a Resort, it's a motel! My husband did research and made a reservation for just the two of us, a night and day WITHOUT kids and a hot springs in a nice Resort? Sounded great to me! Wrong. We checked in at 4:30 on Sunday only to find our room with 2 queens instead of a King. Then we went to reserve our hot springs time like it told us to online, because we couldn't make a reservation for it until we got there. There was NO availability for that day or the next and that's all the time we had to spend!! For $219 sure we got "free" access to the hot springs, but not real access, because there wasn't any space! So we go back to our room and what do we find?! 9 kids and teenagers jumping and screaming from bed to bed like crazy people! Knowingly with people directly below them, and yes their parents were present too. To top it all off, their cancelation policy is that they Refuse to Refund any money!!! That is outrageous!! Not the right room, NO access to the hot springs, noisy as hell neighbors, and you won't refund my money if I choose to leave because YOU didn't provide what we came for?? The front desk lady couldn't give a care in the world or show any compassion. Don't bother with this place, you'll leave highly disappointed (including their restaurant food)!!!

Rooms very dated. Takes 10 minutes for the water in the shower to get hot. Room was supposedly a non-smoking room, but reeked of cigarettes. Bathroom was surprisingly very clean. We unfortunately booked two nights here, thinking we'd have access to the hot springs at least once a day. Unfortunately, when we attempted to reserve time in the hot springs the second day we were told you can only go once your entire stay. I think if you are a paying hotel guest and if the website advertises free access to the hot springs during your stay, that you should at least be able to go once a day....not once your entire stay. We had also stayed during the low season, thinking they'd have more availability. They never offered for us to check back later to see if there were any openings, they just said "no". So, apparently it doesn't matter if you book a day or a week... your free access to the hot springs is apparently only once; however, on our drive out, it was a bummer to see a couple that had gone the same night we did to the hot springs, walking down to go again. Apparently the once an accommodation does not apply to all. If it weren't for the "free hot spring access" ( that you must reserve, one hour limit, and share with 4 other people) we wouldn't have stayed here. Very disappointing. I recommend booking a stay at another hotel and paying to reserve a spot for the hot spring on its own.

Review is for restaurant only. We've been here twice and the food is always good but the service sucks. Both times the server has dropped the check off without asking if we want dessert or if the kids (who can read the kids menu) would like their ice cream which is written on the kids menu. This second time my sons kids meal came out with one chicken strip. Server says, one chicken strip slid off but they're making another one which will be out shortly. Low and behold, it never came. The restaurant had maybe 9 tables seated and wasn't busy at all. Lackluster service will not bring us back. If you want good service that's friendly and good food go across the street to Papa Brunees.

Stacy was an amazing server and the food was absolutely delicious we had the prime rib in the pecan spinach salad and it was outstanding Idaho food and environment! We had a churro and ice cream dessert which was wonderful finishing touch and the service was great!

Motel is basic but clean! Super nice to be able to take our pup for a long walk right behind the motel. The meals we ate at the restaurant were all excellent! Nice uncomplicated food but everything was very good! We will definitely be returning!

This restaurant gets 5 stars from us. Came into town for an overnight getaway and asked the front desk where to go for dinner. Mountain Village was the bomb. OMG. Go eat your dinner here. Nowhere else. Hubby got the ribs and I had the pasta #1. We over stuffed ourselves. So good.

We really loved the atmosphere here! The service was great and the meals were very good! I would highly recommend for anyone going through Stanley

Might have been one of the poorest quick stops in a long while. We decided to stay the night in Stanley on a spur of the moment trip. Yesterday we had water for a few hours. This morning they shut it off at 8:40am while I was in the shower.

Breakfast here was great..(Not inusual but great. Jam on the biscuit is not to be missed

We had a great lunch! The cheeseburger was DELICIOUS and the beer battered fries...AMAZING. The view was beautiful. Had a great time.
