We’re not smokers. I understand it was raining when we arrived, but to have 3 people standing around the door to our room smoking was not the welcome we were looking for. Your rule sheet says 20 feet from the front of the motel, not 2 feet. We waited in our car until the smokers were done and left.

My family and i had a great 1 night stay at this motel. Self check in/out with electric locks on the doors. The room was clean. Parking right in front of our room. Sound proof was more than adequate but the staff provided ear plugs just in case as it sits on a busy road. The room had everything we needed- toiletries, fridge, microwave, chairs out front. Customer service was excellent, owners were very friendly and communicative. They accommodated a last minute late checkout. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

this is a motel that has been remodeled. It is cute inside with minimum amenities. It's nothing special, but it was good for the one night we stayed.

The property was easy to access and the self check-in was very convenient. The air conditioner was going and it was greatly appreciated in a 36 degree heat wave. The bed was comfy, the fridge and bathroom were immaculate. We loved the teas/coffees and beauty products. We’re stayed for the easy access to Sandpoint Public Beach, and it didn’t disappoint. Hipster vibe was 10/10.
