Hotel Ruby in Sandpoint was a pleasant stay I stayed here a while back and it was nice The hotel is modern and has a relaxed atmosphere when you walk through the doors to the front desk

The main area is spacious as well Though one downside might be how dark it is inside, there wasn’t much natural light The hallways were also darker as well, making it not comfortable to walk through at times They might have fixed that though since I’ve stayed here The room was nice, small but adequate! Nice little bathroom as well with plenty of towels and toiletries included The view was pretty as well, a nice mountain View Even considering the two downsides I mentioned, I would stay here again! Nice affordable hotel for a short stay

Stayed in the king jacuzzi suite!!! The jacuzzi was wonderful, the room was clean beyond my (very high) expectations and the bed was a dream! The pool and hot tubs

yes they have 2were also clean and the pool was warm!!!! I love this hotel I really think that for the price you get all that and a bag of chips The staff is kind, personable and accommodating Love it there!!!!! Go stay and see for yourself!!!

The King suite is one of the best in the area, with a giant whirlpool tub in it and some kind of exotic vapor fireplace contraption

I don’t know how to explain it but it’s awesome I would consider myself to be more on the “common folk” side in my every day life, as in I don’t have a remote control steam fire in my bedroom so that I can pretend to emerge from hell or intensify my metal air guitar exploits I’m guessing it is supposed to be more of a mood setting device, but honestly the giant whirlpool, expansive bed, and full bar across the street would have done the trick Having said that we did spend at least an hour on our phones looking for where to buy a steam 🔥

Lisa Manske

We were very pleased The condos, grounds, and amenities are very clean and well maintained The interiors of the condos are quite dated but extremely clean and comfortable

The pool and hot tubs are wonderful, especially at night On the outdoor pool deck are two adults-only hot tubs with a gas fireplace; so nice on winter evenings The fitness center is small but has everything, including two racquetball courts, cardio machines, and free weights Dry and steam saunas Indoor pickleball court and game room Outdoor tennis, playground, and swimming Close to many great hiking trails Views of the lake can’t be beat

Ashley Roberts

Great, relaxing, quiet family retreat It’s kinda in the middle of nowhere but it’s great to get away Tons of on-site activities

Game room, basketball court, racket ball courts, full sized gym, tanning bed, sauna, pool, hot tub, movie rentals, and much much more! We go once a year, our family owns a time share It’s a great tradition for us This sits directly on the lake Beautiful views!! Too much stuff and amenities to list! Condos are HUGE! ♥️♥️♥️

The Best Western Plus at Ponderay was wonderful We had a view of trees and clearing outback, which we are able to spot some deer They had a nice breakfast that was hot and friendly food service staff

They even made some recommendations on where to eat in the area Our room was clean and the bed very comfortable The staff at the desk was friendly and did a nice job The elevator was kind of noisy so we used the stairs The stairwell was clean, carpeted, well lit and had an emergency button if needed He did not use the pool but it looked very inviting We would definitely stay here again – we wish we would’ve been able to stay for two days We did take a drive down to Sandpoint What a a lovely place- with a great beach area and a cute downtown

William Beach

We were supposed to get a contractor discount The main company told us the rooms were 80 a with the discount The first night we were told they never heard of the company

It was $210 after tax The second night we were told there was a discount it was still 160 The company we are doing work for assured us he was only paying the $80 he quoted us The breakfast was hot garbage The beds were comfortable slept like a baby

Lenny A

Super convenient to park and be done with it and just go skiing and on a miniature pub crawlStaff was super friendly and helpful, they always asked if we needed anything as well as one guy that I think works maintenance gave lots of good ski info Having the daily grooming report helped make us decide how hard packed the AM to PM grooms would be

They gave us a discount for breakfast but it’s too bad they didn’t have coffee in the lobby or even just basic breakfast grab and go things like fruit, yogurt and pastriesPool area seemed a bit under construction and small hot tubs got full fast Hopefully they will put in more or bigger ones when the new construction is doneAs long as Mt Hood Meadows keeps a ticket exchange program in the next years I’ll definitely wait back

Bill Kilcullen

Great place for summer getaway Resort rooms are large, comfy and well equipped Note, construction is going on so village is disrupted and there is some extra noise and dust

Scenery is amazing and activities are ongoing Hike, bike, take a horse ride or chill out at the pool Be prepared for a great mountain road drive with switch backs of 180 degrees ! Hope you have a sport model to drive! 🤠

Natalie

These people are amazing! I am traveling for work and they are super accommodating! The room is the cleanest I have ever seen It is a very charming little motel but I feel it needs a better name other than motel It’s like little cottages! Fresh hanging plants give it a charming feel! There are no scummy people living here

I feel safer here than the more expensive places in town

Rose Vlieger

This place is awesome! Our room was much bigger than we expected and was super clean The bed was big and very comfortable Sheldon, the manager was great! He was very nice and very attentive to our needs

It may appear older but we liked it better than any of the higher priced and newer places we have stayed If you get the chance to come through Sandpoint, this is the place you will want to stay! Thank you Sheldon for making our stay the best part of our trip!

One of the worst places in Sandpoint This place is absolutely not kid friendly My mother in law drove all the way from Kentucky to come visit all the grandkids and paid for a two bed room in advance months ago but once she got to the lodge and let the owners know that her grand kids would be coming and visiting for the day, the hotel checked her in and gave her a one bed room and the room was cheaper than what they had charged her for, to make things worse they then told her that they didn’t want any kids stepping foot on the property

It was all in all shocking and the worst service I have ever heard of My mother in law ended up asking for a refund and went to Best Western which was a lot more accommodating and was just as beautiful if not a lot better I would recommend going to Best Western over this dump

Sarah Littlejohn

My oldest and dearest friend moved to Kentucky quite a few years ago She hasn’t been able to see her kids and grandkids too much since she moved, so she decided to plan a vacation so she could see her family She started planning for this vacation ahead of time and reserved a room at the lodge

The lodge had beautiful pictures look like a dream come true When she finally got to the lodge, she was told that she couldn’t have the room she reserved My friend took that in stride She also was told that her grandkids were not welcome in the property to visit my friend I believe the website stated 13 years old and younger stay free After all that, the owner preceded to offer a refund to my friend because she was no longer welcome Places like this should be in business This didn’t ruin her vacation, she stayed at another hotel and got to visit all her family I wouldn’t stay here, the expense isn’t worth the lack of customer careOh and to the owner: instead of making excuses for your behavior, like you did to the other review, maybe apologize Just a tip

Haller Lake

Overall this is a great place Got room w view The view of Lk Pend Oreille, mountains and Sandpoint is beautiful

Fortunately the main room is well sound proofed when doors are shut, so you will not hear highway Staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area 2 hottubs work great Private beach access is great Breakfast provided was simple but plentiful n tasty: pastries, fruits n tea n cofee Minor issue: no more restaurants in the resort But there are plenty of restaurants of all variety in Sandpoint within 3 mi from the resort

We did enjoy our time there however, the camp showers were not in operation and we had a little trouble finding where the dog area was We think we found it, but it was a little over grown The good news is we weren’t far from a forest service campground that has a dog beach! Really enjoyed our trip there and the people we met

Campground hosts were excellent and helped with my minor water issue with my rv I would go back again

I travel often for both work and pleasure, and have stayed in many different places all over Idaho, Washington and Oregon This B&B was by far one of the best experiences I’ve had The rooms are all so unique and charming

The owner and staff were incredibly warm and welcoming They went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable I also loved the massage and breakfast in bed Quite a peaceful and relaxing place to escape, and shut off when you need it Thank you Heather and everyone for your amazing hospitality We will be coming back for sure!

Amanda Ball

My husband and I spent a weekend celebrating our anniversary earlier this month at Talus Rock and loved it I can’t say enough good things about the customer service (everyone was just lovely and so very helpful!), the couples massage (wonderful!), the grounds (beautiful views–I can’t wait to see the scenery in the summer as well!) and the room (the Grand Arbor is amazing!!) We will definitely be back
