It was unfortunate that we were not told about the whole back and side yard being dug up due to sewer problems at the hotel. Honestly we probably would have booked elsewhere.
The staff was nice and the room was okay. The roll out heater had a broken wheel so would not stand very well. The mattress was used to the point that it had two indentation on each side, so you would kinda roll into that spot. Location is great, street parking only. Coffee and breakfast was good. Temperature throughout house was prompt ably about 60 degrees, none of the fireplaces were turned on. It just seemed like more attention to ambiance could have been made.
I am sure its completely decorated and everything working during events but for B&B it just seemed a bit cold.
Overall I would give it 4 stars but needs attention to guest detail and equipment repair, at least in our room.

The Blackwell is currently a hotel and event center. I was told the house was constructed in 1905 and for several years operated as a B&B, which is pretty close to what we experienced for our one night stay! Great breakfast and amenities! Our bedroom was small but very comfortable. I took lots of pictures because it was so beautifully restored!

This hotel is an old mansion and luxury boutique hotel. It is well kept and would be a great venue for a wedding.
As an older hotel, it has shared spaces like sitting areas, bathrooms, game rooms, etc. It has old heaters in many rooms and a claw foot bathtub in the upstairs bathroom.
It is in a safe neighborhood and very convenient to downtown Couer d'Alene.
We were on the 3rd floor and had to climb up some narrow staircases to our room. The floors were a bit creaky, as you would expect in a historic building. It was definitely an experience you won't get with the corporate hotels.The hosts were friendly and made breakfast. The Blackwell was a unique experience!

I cannot speak to the house but the Carriage House in the back is very tired.

But we give it 5 stars because it’s such a nice place. I really liked the easy check-in using text messages. Breakfast had a nice variety.

Anniversary get away

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Blackwell Inn. Check-in was super easy with texts, as it is all self-check-in. They give ample details so we weren’t left wondering about anything. Parking was street parking, though we never walked more than a quarter block, but often was right in front of the hotel. The location is walking distance to everything we wanted and needed, so we barely drove anywhere. But the best part of the Blackwell Inn is the house and the rooms. It is gorgeous and has such an amazing feel. We loved our large room with its super comfortable king size bed and own bathroom. It felt like a small apartment, we never felt cramped. We would stay again in a heartbeat. I can’t speak to the breakfast offered every morning, as we are early risers and we were off before breakfast was offered at 9:00. Though it did smell amazing when we returned. And as it was included, I do wish we would have eaten at least one breakfast.
Overall, the only negative I can say is the floor creaked, which was actually charming with the lovely wood floors. We had a fantastic experience.

Grand old home with a lovely wrap-around porch and handsome first floor. We got a top-floor room in order to not hear footsteps from guests above us, as I suspect would be the case. With the old wood floors and the marvelous-but-somewhat-noisy staircase, noise may be an issue for some. They host weddings and events in the backyard and a summer Saturday wedding reception proved to be painfully noisy from the very loud and thumpy DJ music for 2 hours starting at mid-afternoon. Nowhere in the house or on the property was the music escapable. But overall our 5-night stay was very nice. Breakfasts were terrific and the staff was helpful and friendly. Great location in a lovely city.

We stayed in one of the Carriage Houses. It seemed that a piece of art or a painting had been ripped from the wall and not replaced, with the hooks still there. The floor was strange, uneven. A handle fell off the refrigerator (which was cute, but difficult to access). The refrigerator door could not open unless we rolled the carpet back. Holes in the wall in the bathroom where something had been attached and then removed. The lighting in our room was sadly inadequate. There was no chair or table, only an oversized couch. The lighting in the bathroom was inadequate. The curtains dragged on the floor. Breakfast was disappointing. The staff was sullen and never welcomed us. The grounds were haphazard - for example, there was an unused longe chair outside our door with the pad rolled up, a handrail had obviously broken on the steps to our cottage and had not been replaced (though a different one had been added to the other side). Two pots in the back were full of plastic flowers. We were disappointed for the cost of the room.

Blackwell Hotel is a special treat!

The Blackwell Hotel is a special treat. This historic building is a unique option in the heart of Coeur d'Alene. The is a beautiful courtyard that was hosting a wedding the day we were leaving, but we got to see the rehearsal and the scene was just perfect! The kitchen area is well equipped with fruit, snacks, coffee, tea, and spiced apple cider (yum!). There is a fridge in the kitchen that is shared, but you can store anything you'd like there during your stay. The main area has a beautiful gas fireplace, sitting area, game table, pool table, and information about the area. The porch has the most quintessential swing - have a go! The room was well equipped with a large TV, king bed with memory foam mattress, clawfoot tub, and plenty of space! We loved the little notes on the walls explaining different amenities. The staff was extremely helpful, kind, and warm. We would absolutely stay here again.

Very cool older home well renovated as a B&B. We stayed in a room in the 3rd floor with its own bathroom. Not all rooms have their own bathroom but instead share. Be aware if you’re on the 3rd floor you have to haul your stuff up the stairs which are a bit steep. But the rooms are wonderful. Quiet and cool although they do cater to parties and weddings so maybe ask ahead of time if you want a quiet time.
