Staff was very nice! Property is a bit run down, carpet in room was worn and dirty, cobwebs with bugs in corner of wall near bathroom sink. Property right next to road where they are doing construction. Definitely can hear the neighbors television. Centrally located to restaurants and downtown shops.

Highly recommend this place for travelers. It was clean and staff were friendly. It is always nice to see motorcycle rags available for guests. There are chairs outside to sit and enjoy the scenery, sunshine, and talk with your party or other guests. I will definitely come back here again! Highways to and from are unbeatable! It was smokey and so I have no photos that are worth posting.

We were in Kamiah for a wedding. This quaint place was everything we needed and more. The front staff was very helpful and extremely friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The morning breakfast was great. The waffle and eggs were very satisfying. My wife especially liked the biscuits and gravy. This was a very nice play to stay.

Although the outdoor structure & hotel lobby were modest, the interior of the room was very clean, fresh paint/well-maintained, clean carpet, all amenities that big name hotels/motels offer. Breakfast was good quality food. Staff very helpful, positive and friendly!
