This motel is basic, mainly clean but lacks security of the building. It is badly in need of an upgrade and exterior doors that lock, windows to the hotel that close and lock. I would not recommend and would not book again. One positive is the person at the front desk was great!

I found a great deal on Expedia for the room, it was great if you didn’t spend any time there , the nights were so noisy with slamming doors and traffic, the phone didn’t work the whole time I was there, the tv didn’t work one day but the nice gentleman came to my room Monday night and fixed it for me. Almost all the staff were helpful and pleasant to talk to. This was my second stay there but might go somewhere different next time. Thanks to the staff for being kind.

Unsafe and Unacceptable Conditions.
During our stay, the air conditioning was not working throughout the property, including our room. I spoke with staff on several occasions regarding this issue and was told that the owner was aware of the problem but had decided not to repair it because of the cost. This created extremely uncomfortable conditions, especially while traveling with a child in mid summer.

Additionally, during breakfast my son ate a Go-Gurt that was spoiled. The product was sour and chunky, indicating that it was no longer safe for consumption. Staff apologized to my son, but no further action was taken regarding the incident.

After our stay, I contacted the property seeking assistance and was informed that there were no notes or records of any complaints attached to our reservation, despite my having spoken with staff multiple times during our visit. We arrived there was also someone else's personal items in the room as well.

The combination of the non-functioning air conditioning, the spoiled food served at breakfast, and the lack of documentation or follow-up regarding concerns reported during our stay is unacceptable. These conditions did not meet reasonable expectations for guest safety, comfort, or hospitality.

I respectfully requested a refund was met with denial of my claim and left everything unsolved.

Our stay was very nice. We were greeted by friendly staff Upon check-in. Our room was very clean. Shower was hot with great water pressure. The beds were clean and comfortable. Nice size, mini fridge and plenty of tables and space to put things on. We did use the washer and dryer downstairs. They were a decent size, clean and efficient. The pool however was not in use. It was empty. They had a good selection of snacks provided for breakfast. The room smelled good but not like any sort of synthetic fragrance which is very important to me since I have a fragrance sensitivity. Neighborhoods seem safe. It was close to the downtown area, you could probably walk there. We had a good parking spot right next to our entry door. I will recommend this place. I will be back when traveling in the future.

We stayed for two nights. Check-in was quick as we had pre-paid reservations through Hotels.com. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Hotel provides an ice and water dispenser duo combo machine in in the lobby area, as well as 24/7 available Keurig coffee maker and a small refrigerator holding milk, juice, water, boiled eggs, pudding/fruit cups, etc for a quick breakfast. The refrigerator is, however, opened by the staff from 8-10am only. I would like to see it opened a bit earlier than that. On the day of checkout, we left around 6:30am to hit the road home. The Keurig coffee maker was low on water (no problem as I refilled the attached water container myself), but only two coffee pods were available, and there were other customers who wanted coffee also. No staff was available at the front desk. No problem with check-out as there were directions to simply drop the room key in a drop box. Ample car parking was available. Close to amenities like places to eat and grocery store and downtown area. Overall a good stay for the cost.

The front desk staff were good, but they could not change the fact that the included grabngo breakfast is not open until 8am, which is not explained when booking and no offers to discount the rate when anyone needing to leave earlier loses out. We chose the motel based on the breakfast feature. Other places open at 6!
Also, cleaners left their tools out on the surfaces, which is minor, but the ceiling/floors are so thin, we couldn't sleep and heard the loud noises from the person above us who was up all night, sometimes with loud music and scraping bare floors. Installing carpet might absorb some of the sounds?
The A/C unit was loud but not enough to drown it all out. The 1 shampoo bottle wasn't enough for 2 either, but at least the room was clean

The room was clean, the staff was nice and friendly. We thought the hallways could have used some cleaning and our side door didn't lock, so we would have felt a little more \"secure\" if it had worked, but not a deal-breaker. The teenagers in the group were disappointed that the pool and hot tub were not available. Otherwise, our stay was good.

The staff made my stay comfortable and went beyond to see that I had what I needed. I arrived during the first winter snow and was given a room on the bottom floor right near the entrance door so carrying my luggage wasn't such a chore. The rooms are large and well maintained. Both the morning and evening staff were friendly and accomodating. When the washer failed to spin my clothes, Elizabeth dried them for me and brought them to my room all folded! I am planning to relocate to Sandpoint and will stay here while I find a place to live. Thanks for making my stay memorable.

I like the sense of safety this location has and I was able to to my laundry without thinking if my clothes was going to be stolen. Their rooms are spacious and the beds are comfy. I don’t mind cable tv so it was perfect. Overall, I throughly enjoyed my stay and got to learn more about Sandpoint. I would recommend staying here if you’re really chill and really don’t want to get bothered by the mundaness of life.

Over all not the worst hotel I've visited, but by far not the best either. Upon check-in (4:30am) I found out there was only enough sleeping room for 4 even though I booked the room for 5 guest (two adults and three children) upon asking the front desk about about the lack of adequate sleeping arrangements, I was informed that they might have a toll away cot but I would have to ask in the morning. I bought an air mattress since the reservation was non-refundable, and the hat works out alright for us, but overall I would not visit this motel again. Also the motel did not offer room service, so as we checked out I tried to tidy to the best of my ability. 5 people in one room for 4 nights without room service cleaning trashes or remaking beds is not how I would recommend spending vacation.
Such a cute town though I definitely be back to visit the area, at a DIFFERENT hotel.

Staff was very cooperative and friendly however I left my surgical pillow in room which is easily recognizable as not there’s. I called several times to ask about it as my son was coming through and we were already in Spokane when I realized it. The gal kept telling me she was looking for it and would call me back but didn’t. Several hours later my son stopped by and she hadn’t found it. He had some errands to run so told her to call if she found it. 3/4 hour later she called she’d found it but he was already a few miles out on way to Spokane. I feel she didn’t look very hard, changed my opinion of staff whoever she was..

Will not stay again

There were several issues during my stay. The worst being getting locked out of my room. I was asked to change rooms and the front desk did not activate my key for the whole stay. I got locked out when I returned at 8pm. There was no staff on site, and the hotel was wide open for anyone to walk in. I had to call the local police dept in order to contact a manager who did help me get in my room. The security locks on the exterior doors have been disabled. The pool and hot tub are not maintained (no water). There is supposedly a breakfast service but you have to pick up a box between 8-10 am and that was not convenient for me. And the coffee pot in my room was broken. I would only possibly recommend this motel to traveling men who may not be as worried about their safety and just need a bed for the night. My cost was $125/night and that was way too expensive for what they offer.
