We booked here kind of last minute and needed a place we could bring our dog. Their pet fee was very reasonable. The room was generally clean and well appointed, if not a little basic. Understandable for a “pet room”. No complaints. Location is awesome. Ride across the street from the river and a 5-10 minute walk from a few great restaurants. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was better than most for continental, with made to order eggs delicious home made banana bread and the usual staples. Not sure if I’ll head back to Idaho Falls anytime soon, but if I need a motel, this is a likely candidate for a repeat customer.

This is usually where I stay when I come into town. It's a little older, and it's the motel U-style layout. I like that I see a lot of the same people when I visit, and they're lovely people. Breakfast is a pretty small selection, but there's usually bacon or sausage and... custom order omelettes!

The staff were all very friendly and kind in all interactions. The first appearance seems to be an older hotel that has been renovated, but still appears a little on the run down side. However, the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and we slept very well. The breakfast the next morning was very nice with a fresh omelet bar staffed by a very efficient and friendly cook. The other foods available were also good and the fresh muffins were much better than typically found at similar venues. With the hotel located right next to the river walk, a nice walk on a beautiful fall morning was just what we needed to start the day. We didn't check out the pool or exercise facilities. We were only there overnight, but I would definitely consider returning, especially for the breakfast!
