Stayed here twice, it’s clean, staff very attentive. The “breakfast” wasn’t near what it was our first time there so probably gonna want to go somewhere for breakfast if you need a good meal. The walls and floors are thin (you’ll hear stomping above you), there is a hardware type store there in the lot so prepare for hearing trucks or something heavy sounding. We were given an accessible room which I did not reserve, we weren’t told or asked if that’s what we wanted, coming in at almost midnight we were too tired to change it. So maybe ask for what you do / don’t want when checking in. Pretty central location to downtown Sandpoint and the ski mountain and food, gas, shopping so that’s plus. FYI - no elevator so if you don’t like stairs ask for 1st floor. (There’s 3 I believe).
