"Clean motel. Easy check in with warm cookies upon arrival in the front office. Motel is older but well taken care of. The room was simple but as a traveler passing through Idaho Falls, the comfy bed and shower in the morning were all we needed. I noticed there was a microwave and mini fridge in our room but we didn't need it for this trip. I would definitely recommend this place and stay here again in the future."
The affordable price reflects the hotel’s desperate need for renovations. The first room we were given smelled strongly of stale cigarettes even though it’s marked as a non-smoking room. The second room smelled ok but the window was broken, the bathroom toilet & shower were chipped and stained, and the bed wasn’t super comfortable (just felt like an old mattress). The hallway carpets don’t look like they’re ever vacuumed. We didn’t take advantage of the breakfast but it appeared to offer waffles, juice, and some assorted muffins & fruit. The staff was nice.
Hands down absolutely the best hotel and staff I've encountered in a long time. And I've been to some pretty good ones. clean, nice up to date hotel and rooms. Access to channels if you want to watch television. Plenty of plugins for your electronic devices. Lots of lighting in the the rooms.
Then, there's the breakfast, absolutely the most options of ever seen at a continental style breakfast at a hotel. Everything was appesred fresh. Everything tasted good. Plenty of options even if you have allergies. Convenient hours for breakfast also.
Starting with a front desk staff, I should have mentioned, they were super friendly, helpful and patient. This Meridian location has a nice little selection for snacks, microwave small meals and other amenities. If you're traveling, this is so nice, not to have to drive and to somewhere else. If you forgot something or have an urge for a diet Coke.
They even have a a filtered drinking fountain to fill our big water cups, plus a lemon water with ice dispenser in the lobby.
We will be staying here again.
Check in was 3:00pm. I arrived at 5:15pm.
There is no map of hotel and parking around hotel available for guest to review. Took 15 minutes to fine a hotel layout which didn't help.
Walked into a used room. Nobody cleaned it up by 5:30pm
I was told it would be 30 minutes at least to clean it up. Manager complained about higher workers (not my problem).
Phone in room was flashing red light for messages, but there was not messages. Front desk person came up to verify it was not working correctly and took phone out of room.
Sink dripped water all night. Put hand towel in sink to quiet the noise.
Harley Davidson bar within 100 feet of hotel and the noise echoed through room most of night.
Only things good was staff listening and responding and the breakfast. Bananas went quickly.
I think the maids need to ask if a guest is in need of anything, when they don’t have to clean the room daily. I know that they didn’t ask at all . So the guest is then responsible to ask for extra towels or toilet paper. It only takes a minute to make sure the guest has enough towels & anything else.
This is a fantastic hotel. It opened in December. We stayed here prior to flying out of Spokane on our way to Nashville for a convention at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel (which charges several hundred dollars per nights stay) The Hyatt hotel in Post Falls was MUCH nicer, cleaner and WAY more affordable than the higher priced hotel in Nashville! Very friendly staff. Breakfast is not included with the stay but is also more affordable at $11 per person than the Opryland Hotel at $36 per person!!
The closest airport is about 2 hours away from us so we will definitely plan to stay here again prior to flying out of Spokane International. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
