Hotels near Friedman Memorial - SUN, Hailey

Bellevue is a small town. Everything is within walking distance because it’s only a few blocks. But Bellevue has everything you need. Great restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, gift shops, and even a garden center. People are friendly and inviting.

Hailey is a great place. A bit less hectic than Ketchum, SunValley. Had some exceptional food at A Taste of Thai. Perfect location to take a drive over Galena and enjoy the Stanley area and close enough to ride bikes up to Ketchum/SunValley.

Just passed through on our way back home to Utah. Charming town. Great Mexican restaurant (La Cabanita) and delicious breakfast at Lucy's. Didn't have to go all the way to Ketchum to eat at fancy restaurants. Bellevue did the trick for us. Affordable prices and simple living.

Liked the small town feel, not as commercial as Sun Valley, but close enough for daytrips there and further up in the National Park. Many activities within 20 mile radius for daytripping. Winter and summer sports activities and airport convenient to Hailey. Cross country trails accommodated hikers and their dogs, bicycles, Cc skis snowshoers, and even the ski shoes!!

We liked the Hailey area. The Sun Valley area is great for a summertime trip. The bike trail system is outstanding; you could visit the area just to ride on the many paths and trails. Just north of Hailey and Ketchum is the Sawtooth Wilderness. This area is a real gem, and worth exploring for 3-5 days.

We parked at the hotel and walked the main street to get to restaurants. Most are within a few blocks. My brother in law does a 20 min walk each morning to wake up. I joined him. Traffic was light early in the morning, and reasonable when looking for restaurants. Fewer restaurants are open Sunday: but Chez McDo is across the street.
