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!

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!

Everything was perfect. Since I am short, I wish there had been a chair to sit on to put on my shoes. The stools and bed are too high for me. The decor is exceptional and the room was spotless. Even though the motel is near a highway and railroad track it was pretty quiet. I would love to stay there again.

What a breath of fresh air! Clear instructions, kind staff support and a beautifully updated and clean accommodation! It was so great with all of the fine details and touches - coffee cups to ear plugs. It’s by the train tracks, but that doesn’t take away from the fabulousness. Thank you Amy and team!
