this is a really nicely updated motel. We wanted to extend our stay but, unsurprisingly, others had already booked it ip. We would recommend it to our family when they come to visit us. As warned it is near highway and railway, but it never woke us up. Highly recommended!

Nice pit stop

Nicely renovated room. Pretty spacious. Busy road in front, so there is noise from the passing cars. Nice pit stop on our family road trip. Breakfast nook was small, but had a nice selection of fruit/cereal/toast….

This hotel was perfect! Clean and nicely decorated. I would 100% stay here again next time I’m in the Sandpoint area. Easy check in. You can park right in front of your room. No stairs or elevators. Super convenient. Not your typical motel.

Favourite spot in Sandpoint

We always stay here when we come to Sandpoint. The rooms are equipped with ear plugs, white noise machines, and yummy coffee. Always so clean and comfortable! I would highly recommend.

Perfect mix of new and old!

What a great hybrid hotel experience in a remodeled highway motel with outside seperate entrance but with automated confirmation and room access via code programmed to your specific stay. Loved the speed of communication, the easy of access (coming in after hours) and being able to roll in and have a comfortable quick stay.
