Overall, the staff was friendly, things were clean and tidy, and the pool/hot tub were open for use. The continental breakfast was a decent spread. The room was a little smaller than expected but had everything we needed.

The staff were great. Parking was great. Room was clean. Breakfast was good (standard continental) I didn’t get around to trying the pool. There’s no elevator but they made that known. They’re close to food and shops. TV worked. Internet worked. Nothing to complain about.

The rooms are nice & clean. Hotel property is kept very clean & looks nice. The breakfast went from a 10 star back in November 2025 to a 2 star now. The only actual hot option was a waffle. There was a prepackaged breakfast sandwich I had to heat up in the microwave - no thank you. The staff when we checked in were pleasant but did not go out of their way. The staff in the morning - cleaning staff was pleasant & helpful, desk staff were not very pleasant & did not appreciate when I voiced my opinion about the breakfast. I understand circumstances have changed but the hotel needs to pick it up and do better where the breakfast is concerned. The pool area is great & the fire pits outside are very nice.

Very friendly staff, nice clean new facilities. Pool. Very good breakfast buffet at a very close restaurant ( 1 minute walk or less? ). 25 minutes to Schweitzer if you're skiing and road is relatively clear. Several restaurants nearby or a short drive to Sandpoint.
