Wallace Inn

"The only bad thing about the Wallace Inn is that it'll make you disappointed in other hotels and what they've given up. I don't know exactly how to describe it but staying here feels like the way hotels used to be before they started cutting back. From small things like plentiful towels in the room and a FULL selection of TV channels, to the attached restaurant, the Wallace Inn delivers on all levels. Oh, and the bathrooms have fan/heater combos... remember when hotel bathrooms had heaters? Between that and the sauna, you'll be able to warm up quickly after a day of skiing. Speaking of skiing, the hotel is about equidistant to both Lookout Pass and Silver. We've stayed here twice and skied both mountains each time. Then when you're done skiing and get back to your hotel, you're walking distance (yes, we walked everywhere through Wallace's picturesque neighborhoods) to some excellent restaurants: Fainting Goat, Blackboard Cafe, Muchachos Tacos... all excellent and just a few blocks away. Staying in Wallace, particularly at the Wallace Inn, is like a cheat code to a ski vacation. We felt like we shouldn't be having as much of a great experience as we did for such a low cost. And then when you add in two relatively uncrowded (or empty) ski areas (compared to other destinations) it really does feel like a secret. I don't like to spot-burn, but I do want to make sure Wallace Inn, the town of Wallace, and the ski areas are profitable for generations to come, so I'm telling you all right now to get to Wallace! To paraphrase Warren Miller: If you don't go to Wallace, Idaho this year, you'll just be one year older when you do."

"Lisa at the front desk might actually be an angel!! She was so friendly when I called for a room. And when we got there she was amazing!! When we needed to extend our stay, she worked her magic and made it happen. On the morning we were leaving, our lock was frozen on vehicle and she once again went above and beyond!! The inn may be slightly dated, but everything was clean! An absolutely beautiful pool area!! And one of the cutest towns I've seen!! 10/10 would recommend"

"We didnt actually stay in one of the room but we were traveling in our van and we broke down very close to where this hotel is. They were some of the kindest people they offered us help and said we could use their facilities while we were stuck. Thank you so much Lisa and Amber and everyone who was there who was so kind and generous."

"Beautiful location, beautiful hotel, friendly and efficient staff. We checked in after our truck broke down, and they checked us in early so we wouldn't have to wait. They even had a doggy gift bag for our pup. They went above and beyond to help us however they could. If I could give them more stars I would. Thank you so much for helping us through our fiasco. Could not have asked for a more pleasant experience!"

"The Wallace Inn is getting very tired. The rooms are the same now as 30 years ago. The bed was comfortable. Worn carpet, but it was clean. Mirrors are worn out, with splotches on them. Finishes are pealing. I gave room service a $20.00 tip and asked for extra caffeinated coffee with extra cream and sweet n low. Got nothing. No tip the next night! You actually have to request housekeeping! Seems to me for as busy as they are, and such an ideal location, the quality would be top-notch!"
