Very clean unit. Easy to get into. Cozy and good amenities (coffee, tea, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, earplugs, plenty of towels). Bed was comfortable and shower easy to work with good water flow. Osprey nest with babies outside! Only negative was noise from the nearby train tracks. But only once, around 11:30 pm

The room was renovated well and was clean. It is an old school roadside motel that can’t escape being stuck between a busy road and train tracks though and noise from both were prevalent over the noise of the AC unit. We ended up leaving and paying for a hotel elsewhere.

Meeting friends elsewhere, we didn't take advantage of the breakfast, so cannot comment on that. But, from start to end, this stay was a very welcome part of our roadtrip. We love the more relaxed vibe of Sandpoint over Coeur D'Alene and thought the earplugs for those who don't like the sound of trains were a thoughtful addition that was presented with humor! Comfy bed. Yummy shower with fab water pressure. So easy to load in and out of a traditional "motor inn". A definite, no-hesitation recommendation to anyone considering a stay!

The jacuzzi bathtub could have been cleaned better. The jets were very dirty. From experience spraying the inside of them with an awesome cleaning product works miracles and a little soft scrub and elbow grease. Also could use some Q tips and cotton pads. Overall the place was very comfortable.

This was a great place to land for the evening while on a road trip. There is a train and well traveled road out front, but a white noice machine was provided as well as ear plugs. We slept great and found the environment very peaceful. It is conveniently located to grocery/convenience stores but tucked back away from the main road of town, which was nice. It was noticeably clean and had thoughtful amenities. Would stay again!
