Our room was comfortable and clean; the location of the motel is perfect for walking on the riverwalk which is really beautiful and also well-placed for walking into downtown. The staff were super friendly - but the breakfast stands out as to why this motel is really special. Best homemade biscuits and banana bread ever plus great selection of other items. Totally recommend this motel.

I usually don’t write reviews but felt inclined to do so for this stay… and it’ll be brief. The staff was very hospitable and helpful. Breakfast included eggs and omelettes made to order. They also had bikes onsite available for riding which was great for my younger child. I would definitely consider staying here again if ever I’m back in Idaho Falls.
