Would stay again, beautiful.
Pros:

Gorgeous view, clean, comfortable, great breakfast, really kind staff.

Cons:

The main floor has pergo and no runner, so it’s fairly noisy as people go by and the sound carries

Location, view, staff, cleanliness…. Everything is wonderful about this hotel. It’s our go-to place and I look forward to staying here when we travel to northern Idaho.

Thank you for a great stay
Pros:

It was very pleasant and everything was so clean

Cons:

Unfortunately I think more handicapped spots need to be available at the front area my husband fell walking from our truck due to poor visibility.

Gorgeous hotel on the river!
Pros:

Gorgeous view of the river! Beautiful location, exceptional staff, clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. The staff went above and beyond with their customer service. The Edge restaurant next door is the best! Great Sunday brunch on the deck overlooking the river. We plan on making it a destination vacation in the future.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

To be able to to sit next to the river and drink my coffee.

If it were not for the barking dogs that belonged to another guest. It would have been an excellent stay.

We loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to others!
Pros:

The resort is beautiful! We enjoyed our River View balcony and patio areas available by the river! I had expected waffles to be included in the hot breakfast, but was pleasantly surprised it included whipped cream, fruit, and chocolate chips to put on your waffle if desired! I was also thrilled that biscuits and gravy were an option as well, and they were delicious! I also loved that there was a waterbottle filling station! So handy!

Cons:

I wasn't thrilled that the fridge didn't include an ice box, but the fridge was a lot bigger than others I've had in other hotels, and was able to fit a lot of our to-go box containers from restaurants.

Beautiful location
Pros:

Beautiful location! We had a room right on the river and it was wonderful to hear the river night. This is a special Best Western for sure! Beautiful patio next to the river to hang out downstairs while you have your breakfast or just relax. Walk to the little town for dinner.

Cons:

I can't think of anything I didn't like!

Pros:

Staff, facilities and setting. As a motorcycle traveler, the small touches like bottled water placed by each bike in the morning, a motorcycle wash area and dedicated bike parking made our stay special.
