Idaho has a lot more to offer than expected. This was a last minute booking for extra room since our family’s cabin only had one bathroom for 10 people. Great hotel type room, Super clean. We liked the curtain between beds for privacy since we had our adult daughter staying with us. Free Breakfast was just grab n go packaged snack cakes, but a cafe across the street had a good breakfast. Great price for a last minute booking especially in the area. Close to the National Parks and lots more Idaho places that we plan to return to see next trip. Will definitely remember this place if we return.

The family room was great! It was super clean. We had been traveling for almost a week, and this was truly a wonderful, restful stop. We were going to go out and explore, but the room was so comfortable, we decided to break our “no tv” rule and just relax and watch tv (there were 3 in our suite). It had great ac. Wonderful, true blackout curtains, and a FULL SIZED fridge! We grabbed a few groceries from a supermarket about a block away and just enjoyed our night!!! Thank you!

Didn’t interact much with the staff. Check in was super fast and easy. Room was okay. Heater didn’t work very well, kept blowing hot then cold air. Walls are super thin so you hear everything. The internet here does not work. Had to use hotspot the entire time even though we attempted to use their internet. It connects, but the service is bad. Kind of overpriced for what it is.
