We always stay here when we come to Sandpoint. The rooms are equipped with ear plugs, white noise machines, and yummy coffee. Always so clean and comfortable! I would highly recommend.

What a great hybrid hotel experience in a remodeled highway motel with outside seperate entrance but with automated confirmation and room access via code programmed to your specific stay. Loved the speed of communication, the easy of access (coming in after hours) and being able to roll in and have a comfortable quick stay.

They did a great job renovating this traditional roadside motel. Loved the jacuzzi in the room! It’s right on the road and near rr tracks, so expect to hear that in the night. Very helpful front person and the owners are very nice. The outside door to the room leaks, so I needed to crank up the heat for comfort. If you’re looking for an inexpensive place to stay near a fantastic mountain to ski, I would recommend the Outdoors Inn.
