We spent 6 nights at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. I was very surprised at our room. For the price, I really thought we would have a luxury room, but instead we had a room that was in need of some updates, to start with the carpet was frayed where it met the tile in the entry way. We had no balcony, and while we did have a peek of the lake out our window, it was mostly a view of the old wood on the roof of the area below us. I had to request a clean bedspread since ours had some spots that looked like blood on it. And the blanket was so old it looked like it was falling apart, but the bed had double sheets, so it was covered up. Although the shower had nice slate looking tile, there was no tub.
(I have seen in some publications, and I believe there was even a comment on TripAdvisor that the rooms are newly renovated. They must mean the Premier Rooms, because our room did not look like it had been updated.)
I felt a little upset with the price, and room, until I spoke to a couple of other people about their room. I then felt lucky to have what we had! Apparently, some of the rooms are close in comparison to a Motel 6, and believe me they are not $29.95! Not sure why a fancy place would even offer these types of rooms, and if they do they should make sure they are described in FULL detail, before the guest arrives. Although I did not personally see the rooms, I do know this group was not happy.
The real topper was the $15.00 per night that is charged for parking ON TOP of the inflated room rates.
The employees we encountered all seemed very cordial, and willing to accommodate all in our group. But, unfortunately, all rooms were booked, so switching rooms was out of the question.
We spent a couple of nights at the Oxford Suites in Spokane before driving over to Coeur d'Alene, and I can assure you, our room was a much more comfortable size, was cleaner, and we had a great view of the river from our balcony, for half the price!
