Love being at the waterfront
Steven
We traveled 3 hours one way to stay for a night in a nice area. checked in and went to the room only to turn around and drive 3 hours back home. The room smelled bad and looked dirty.
Carrie
If I could give zero stars, I would. Paid $365 for one night (including a bogus $42 “resort fee”) and this place was a filthy, outdated dump. Dirt on the shower walls, rock-hard bed which left us with severe back and hip pain, loud A/C, broken phone with the wrong room number, dirty coffee pot, and a dirty towel left on the out side part of the A/C on our patio. To top it off, you have to drag your luggage down two flights of narrow stairs just to reach a “ground-floor” room.
The shower was the worst—water temp wouldn’t regulate and kept surging scalding hot, burning our son. Completely unsafe.
The only positives: friendly front desk staff and direct beach access. That’s it. Motel 6 would have been cleaner and more comfortable.
This place is nothing but a run-down, overpriced dump pretending to be a resort. I would never stay here again and strongly urge others to look elsewhere. Save your money and avoid this hotel at all costs.

gross
Last remodeled in 2010. Pool was filthy with ring around the tub look, green, cloudy even at 4ft where you could not see the bottom drain! PH was stated to be 8 in the maintenance logs for the whole month, but still nothing has been fixed. I imagine those numbers are false anyways and could be worse.
Melissa R
We really enjoyed our stay! The room was clean and spacious we didn't have any issues other than the TV not working correctly but staff was quick to help when we asked. For just a little extra we got to enjoy the outdoor amenities, paddle boards, ping pong etc. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful lakeside hotel. The room was great, amenities were great. Too bad they are going to tear it down.

The actual property felt a little dated, but we enjoyed the location and had great service.
Donald J.
The property is going to close on August 30th and will torn down. There were minimal services. The breakfast was not the caliber of a $270 per night hotel.
Paige
We showed up for our stay and Expedia didn’t even have it booked for us even though I had the booking on my app.

The location was what sold me and the staff were the best!!!

Clean and nice. Walking distance to downtown.
teresa
Property was tired and old. The hallways were very hot with no air conditioning . Great location.
Jake
The property was very old and aged the only thing it had going for it was a nice TV, but it had a huge light on the bottom. That was right in your face when you were trying to sleep. The AC unit kept kicking off and on, and it was on it would not maintain temperature. The hot water in the shower He kept fluctuating every time somebody would turn on water, so you would have a cold hunt. Warm shower that kept changing every 15 seconds. The roots are cramped and small. And putting amount of money, the debate, which was $450+, it was definitely not worth it. Absolutely, horrible experience on the hotel. The bed was not comfortable
Gayle
Absolutely beautiful summer or winter right on the lake easy walk to bar and restaurants which we had more days here, will be back.

The location is the only redeeming characteristic of this property, and it is indeed a striking quality. So much so that I’d likely stay there again (holding my nose, and ignoring the condition of the facility).
(I did not interact with the service team so no input on that).

Horribly outdated. Smelled and looked like a great grandparent’s home. Very hot. Only box A/C. Microscopic bathroom. Antique furniture. Great views. Like staying on Titanic.
Anne
We loved the location.
The bathroom was quite small and very difficult for an average size adult to maneuver closing the door while using the toilet.

Property is tired and in need of a complete makeover. It’s in such a great location that it could be awesome but unfortunately it’s not! In addition, cleanliness of the rooms and buildings wasn’t great. It was very walkable to the City Beach and town which was the best thing about the property!
David
It was fine

While this hotel is showing it's age, it's clean, nice staff, has great views, and is easily walkable to lots of dining and shopping.

Great place right on the water! Very quiet. A bit dated but clean and comfortable
Carrie
Great location for train and beach area, easily accessible to downtown
Suzy
Nice area but very dated. Our toilet had to be flushed 3-4 times every time it was used. Would’ve requested a different room but we were too tired to go through the trouble.
Person at the desk was nice when we checked in.

Susanne
Everything is dated but what makes it bad is how dirty the room was. Hair all over, even on the walls! Dog dander? Yuck
Jordyn
This property was amazing. Well worth the money. Staff is extremely helpful. Restaurants all around and a large safe parking lot at the hotel for your vehicle. Very clean beach. Fun amenities offered like bikes, paddle boards, and smore kits. Absolutely 10/10, would travel just to stay in this hotel again.
Veronica
House keeping, desk, person who was in charge of breakfast were all incredibly sweet and helpful. I know bldg will be torn down in August and understand since there is no elevator or AC in halls. I hope the new owners have as nice a staff as this one since they made up for any renovations needed,
Travis
The view from the room was amazing! As for the hotel, it’s old and outdated. The A/C in the room is noisy so it’s hard to sleep. The weight machine was broken. The hot tub was hot only 1 day out of the 4 days we were there, the rest of the time it was either empty or warm at best. Apparently they are going to tear it down and build a new hotel so they’re not investing into this one. Overall it was fine, it’s not like we were spending our whole day there, it’s better to enjoy the town of Sandpoint anyway. The staff was excellent though, they made the stay better.
Brenda
Key cards very sensitive. Kept having yo have front desk reprogram. Good breakfast!

Nice stay
The location is great. Room was nice, some areas inside were a bit dated but kept well. Being able to walk into town was great.
Kelli
Wonderful stay
Kanim
Stay somewhere else.
This hotel is old. Like you're parents stayed here in the 70s old. I booked because our group was suppose to stay here but they stayed in the one in Ponderay. We slept one night of a two night stay and then booked a room at Spring Hill suites for the 2nd night. We couldn't handle how bad the hotel was, also heard its supposed to be torn down soon.

Oldy but goody
This is our second stay. Although the hotel was probably last updated in 1980, and I'm sure some of it is original to it's build in 1960, it is very clean with comfortable beds. All rooms face the lake. The location is next to the park and a very short walk to downtown. The staff is always friendly. The pool and hot tub are indoors and warm year round.
ANDRE
Property is average. Does have an “old” smell and it doesn’t appear to have been updated in quite some time. Not terrible and it is definitely serviceable.
Larry Scott
Good but not great!
This hotel is a bit tired and rundown...though considering its age, still in pretty good shape....destined to be torn down in the near future. The bed was not so comfortable. The breakfast was quite decent. We did enjoy the lake view from the 3rd floor room.
Mark
Nice location
Hotel was in nice location but is very outdated. We had room with balcony which was nice. Lots of railroad traffic, though not the hotel’s problem.
Brenda
Best thing is the excellent view of the lake and mountains. Staff is very friendly.
Chris
Loved our stay for our anniversary. The only complaint was no restaurant
Timothy
We stayed here in one of the larger rooms in April. It was quiet as the hustle and bustle of the summer season had not yet begun. Very comfortable room and a refreshing stay. A little bit of an older property at this point, and yes it is next to the railroad tracks, but it can't be beat as far as being right on the beach and water!

Birthday in Sandpoint
Front desk staff was very nice, friendly, and helpful. We had a king suite, very roomy and clean, and two bathrooms! King bed was not very comfortable, mattress pshould be replaced; bath towels were very thin; air/heat units in the bedroom and livingroom were very noisy. Close to town for shopping and beach for walking. Lake was low, dry docks ( due to this tme of year) but great view of mountains.

Definitely a little beat up for almost $200 per night. But it is a really nice location walkable to downtown and city beach. We had a first floor room that had a walk out sliding door to the lake. Made me feel really guilty for not bringing the dog, would be perfect for that. The room was nice and clean but the beds were not very comfortable.
Mark
A short walk to downtown
martha
The staff were very friendly and helpful which is so nice when traveling with young kids. The hotel was clean but there was some leaking in the dining area. The pool was so much fun and needed with the kids but the hot tub was very hot, so we were in and out of pool to cool off. I would recommend this hotel to others and would stay again!
Taylor

Great Hotel in Sandpoint!
This is a great hotel, the breakfast was awesome and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. The hot tub was closed when we were there and that was a bummer, but everything else was good. Spacious room and nice amenities.

not very up to date a lot of broken amenities spa & sauna not working. seemed the hotel needed updating bathroom fan not working lights not working in room and in pool house. indoor pool somewhat cold for winter use. overall not very impressed with the property due to to lack of upkeep.

We had a great time staying here. The view of the mountains was wonderful. The staff was nice and it was a great place to stay on our way driving back to Washington.

The beds were very uncomfortable and the hallways had a smell. The hot tub isn’t working. The whole place is being knocked down next year and it’s barely being maintained in the meantime.

Great place to stay.
Will
The view was great. The breakfast was great. The toilet ran, the shower temperature was questionable, and if we were to go back, we would stay on the main floor to avoid having to pack luggage up the stairs.
Cathy
This property is old but in good condition. We had fairly new rug in our room. Only downside was there wasn’t an elevator and there were many steps to our room. They should hire a strong guy to have available for us elderly folks.
Janet
i was disappointed to find that the restaurant was closed & the breakfast provided was minimal. the property is tired, however, the view was gorgeous, access to town was great & the room was clean.
Renee
Freight trains going by non-stop all night long, even vibrating the bed and loud.
Eric
It's in bad shape.
Staff were great, but the fireplace was broken, which was the reason we paid extra for that room. There was a lot of other issues, including problems with door, shower, and toilet.
Craig
This is a great summer getaway place!
Yvonne
Sadly disappointed
The property has not been kept up to date. The water at the sink wouldn’t even get luke warm and the handle on the shower broke in two when we tried to shower, water went everywhere!
The breakfast was ‘a bit to be desired’ as the saying goes.
And did I mention it is located about 50ft away from a working train rail that runs ALL night long!
The best thing this property had going for it is the view, but not enough to entice us to stay again.

I liked the location. I didn't like the fact that the sauna and pool were out of service and did not know till check in!
That was the fault of Expedia not listing the facts on their site.

Amenities were horrible My room was nice
We have stayed at this hotel many times. However, this trip was not the best. The pool was closed and filled with green algae. The sauna was closed because it was broke. The hot tub was not working correctly and obviously not well-maintained. The room, however, was cleaning comfortable. The view is always amazing. Staff was OK, but definitely not the friendly bunch we experienced in the past.
Lars
This place must have been great ( a long time ago)
Kathleen
Positive: complementary breakfast we didn’t know about, extremely friendly staff, right on City Beach and with great access to the lovely downtown of Sandpoint.
Negatives: very limited staff, rooms are extremely small and rundown, bathroom is even smaller, rooms are extremely outdated and need many repairs, ran out of towels one evening, pool was closed.
