10/10 Exceptional

This was our second time staying at the Outdoors Inn and we will most certainly return again next year. The owners have totally remodeled this motel and it’s wonderful. It is a great, convenient place to stay. Rooms are very nice and spacious. Very comfortable beds. Thanks for a great place to stay while in town for the soccer tournaments!

Good value for the location. Super easy check in & out. Close to a great breakfast at The Hoot Owl!

10/10 Exceptional

It was a pleasure to stay 2 nights in this completely refurbished vintage motel. It was clean, convenient, and everyone on site was very friendly and helpful. Need earplugs, which they provide because the motel is right beside a busy highway.
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This quaint, family run motel was amazing! Attention to detail shines throughout. Completely spotless, quality linens, premium toiletries and fabulous coffee/tea. We will be back!

Beautiful and clean!
Patrick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel is recently remodeled. We had a room with a kitchenette, and that had great amenities, but scant toiletries (a tiny packet of kleenex, like two.) We were unaware that this property was very close to the highway and thus noisy. Earplugs and white noise machines aren't the answer. Breakfast area was clean and well stocked with good food. Very unusual to not speak to a hotel employee for check-in or check-out, and the office is unmanned much of the time.
Jeanmaire, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only suggestions and not critisisms would be a full size mirror for events like weddings and iron and full size ironing board. I would highly staying here!!!
Richard, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good experience. Comfortable and cozy modern rustic vibe. Friendly helpful hotel owners. Would absolutely recommend.

Cute little boutique motel

Such a cute little boutique motel. Newly renovated, clean, quaint, comfortable and quiet. We slept great! It is located on the main road and convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Easy checkin and checkout. We will definitely stay here again.

We stayed in the jet tube room! The tub was huge and worked great! The room was super clean actually the entire property was very clean and well maintained! We will be back for sure! Also Miss Amy was so sweet and welcoming!

Perfect pit stop for a night or two. Clean, functional and overall nice aesthetic.
Rachel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

this is a really nicely updated motel. We wanted to extend our stay but, unsurprisingly, others had already booked it ip. We would recommend it to our family when they come to visit us. As warned it is near highway and railway, but it never woke us up. Highly recommended!
Jay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean, easy check-in. Rooms are a slightly lacking in soundproofing. Could hear our neighbors just a little.
LINDA, 1-night trip

Nice pit stop

Nicely renovated room. Pretty spacious. Busy road in front, so there is noise from the passing cars. Nice pit stop on our family road trip. Breakfast nook was small, but had a nice selection of fruit/cereal/toast….

Favourite spot in Sandpoint

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.
