Stayed the night while skiing at Schweitzer. The room was VERY small and the decor was really outdated. The location is OK if your going to the mountain; also only 5 minutes from downtown Sandpoint. The free breakfast was really sparse and could be improved upon. Holiday Inn is right across the street, though its almost double the price. More

If you're looking for a nice quiet and clean hotel, then this is it. Prices are very resonable and the staff is always friendly. I have customers in that area and always stay at the Howard Johnson. More

This is a note to let you know how much I appreciate the service we received on our stay. We booked our reservation (Sept. 10 and 11) through Expedia and they screwed it up. We wanted a non-smoking room and they booked us in a smoking room. All of the non-smoking rooms were booked so we agreed to stay in... More

The blankets were old and torn, We were... More

My two children and I travelled to Sandpoint Idaho for their annual Soccer Tournament this past weekend and we decided to stay at the Howard Johnson in Ponderay (just outside of Sandpoint). They told me it was a smoking room when I reserved it (but that it didn't smell because it's hardly ever reserved by smokers), it was one of... More

I was in the area for a couple of days for outdoor recreation. Checked in late afternoon. The desk clerk was courteous and nice, check in was quick. I went to my room and was rather stunned at the small size -- just enough room to walk around the sides and end of the bed. On the positive side, it... More

My hubby and I stayed last weekend and it was a great place. The room was amazingly clean and with new beds and furniture. The breakfast in the morning is better than most Hotels, and there was free WIFI. They also are pet friendly so we brought our black lab with us. It was a nice quiet weekend and relaxing... More
