Targhee Lodge at Grand Targhee Resort

First off the scenery is great. Plenty of hiking and biking trails. The drive from Jackson Hole is about an hour plus depending on traffic. The rooms are small and old, no air conditioning, and alot of mosquitos and flys inside. You should get alot more for the money. The rooms do not have a microwave or mini-fridge for you to keep drinks cold. Even with a non-smoking room the you could smell the odor of cigarettes. The towels even smelled like a cigarette. We tried to switch rooms, but the front desk said the place was booked. Looked out at the parking lot at 4 am and counted 8 cars. Only saw 3 other guests while there. Tried to use the hot tub, but it was not working. Housekeeping came into the room. They left the dirty towels and did not vacuum the dirt off the old carpet. There are 2 resturants on property, only one was open and it served a limited menu. There is also a snack bar that is open sometimes with even less things, and the freshness of the food is debatable. The town of Driggs, ID is about 15 minutes away. There are some good resturants there.

I firstly declare myself as a "picky" person. Therefore, the room is not as clean as I expect. The location is suitable for winter season, which lies on the mountain for skiing. Still there are sufficient facilities, namely a good restaurant, gift shop, market, and accessory for activities. In short: Pros: good view, amazing place for winter sports. Cons: Few activities for summer, check available days before hand.
