Wonderful place

Shandra has been phenomenal to work with! Every room is a kitchenette provided with more than enough supplies that all I needed was my personal belongings! I have just been in awe of how wonderful everything has been!

OK for a Night

We took a chance at staying here for a short getaway, knowing it was not a chain. It was nice, but a little rough around the edges. I would stay for a night, but probably would not stay for a getaway with my wife again.

Shame on both trip advisor and this hotel. Listed as a 3 star “Boutique “ hotel , it’s actually a run down motel 6 on the busiest main street. Also it wasn’t advertised as an extended stay but it is. Looked like a flop house. Everything is in disarray. Again no mention when booking they were doing construction. The photos on line are completely inaccurate and false advertising. No way anyone could sleep with that road noise. It is an extended stay for ?.....who knows who would stay there. I told the manager I was expecting something completely different from the high ratings and photos on trip advisor he said he completely understood but had to charge me $50 cancellation fee because he could gave rented the room to someone else. Unless all the guests were walking in off the street I don’t know who he was referring to from the predominantly empty parking lot. Shame on the false advertising and trip advisor for rating this hotel as on of the top rated in Twin Falls. Not a “Boutique” hotel by any sense of the word. Never trusting Trip Advisor again

Wonderful little get away!

My husband and I booked a night here for a little getaway. It was perfect! The room was clean, comfortable and very cute! They had wonderful customer service. They were quick to respond to calls and answer questions. I was worried that checking in would be a pain with the COVID policies, but it was really smooth and quick. They were able to tell us the COVID regulations for the area, mask requirements and things like that, which was helpful. We braved the cold and jumped in the hot tub, which was clean and a nice way to spend the evening. The pool area is supper cute and I'd like to come back during warmer months and check it out.

Did not feel safe - Not clean- Need nose and ear plugs.

URGENT! Please read. The pictures and review a are completely deceiving. The first room I checked into had a repulsive body oder. Have never smelled anything like it. Noticeable stains everywhere, missing towels, coffee, not vacuumed. After asking for a new room- I ended up in a suite upstairs. Smelled better, but the street and AC unit noise was very loud and I did not sleep well. Bought ear plugs for the first time in my life to sleep the second night. Lots of cars drag racing down the Blvd. And it got worse- there was a noticeable generator motor running underneath the room and it literally vibrated my bed. Not to mention I did not feel safe. The clientele was shady. I noticed a car with no plates parked on the side of hotel - two people in the passenger seat- steamed windows. I should have gone with my gut instinct and left to book elsewhere for the same exact price! My dog was miserable. There was a small 15’x15’ patch of grass for your pet to use. You could not walk across area w/o stepping in crap. Once home, I promptly washed all my belongings including myself and the dog. Fingers crossed I didn’t bring bed bugs home. I’m an Idaho native and have stayed at my fair share of older hotels. Most would be considered run down- yet clean. This one should have a disclaimer: requires tetanus shot prior to booking.

I’d look elsewhere...

The room my friend got put in had not been cleaned. They moved her to the suite. That was awesome. The room we were in had a unique smell and stains on the furniture and floor. Outside there was dog poop on the sidewalks even though we paid extra money to have dogs there. The hotel provided poop bags and a spot for dogs to go, but that area was full of dog poop. There are people living in this hotel. That’s not advertised. The room above us vacuumed their room at 9:00 p.m. Many people sat outside in their cars or stood around smoking. There was a couple making out or more in the parking lot. I’ve been to Blue Lakes in before. I liked it. This time, it seemed seedy. I’ll be paying the same amount (or less without dog fee) at LaQuinta next time.
