Talus was eclectic, artistic and it felt like we were a guest in somebody's amazing house. It was a midweek stay. Maybe there was another couple there. We had the house to ourselves. That night we saw deer grazing out back and it snowed overnight. We woke up to a beautiful scene which included a few people ice skating on the frozen pond. We were in the Kipling suite which had a jet tub big enough for two people to swim is. It had a mini fridge, microwave, small coffee maker with coffee. A definite off the norm place to relax. On a side note, had an over the top dinner at 113 Main.

Hi Heather, Thank…read moreyou for taking the time to respond and engage with the feedback--it's clear you care deeply about the property. We hope that on a future visit, you might experience TRR from the perspective of a first-time guest--someone arriving with the hope of finding a peaceful retreat, but instead feeling somewhat like they've unexpectedly stepped into someone else's private space. While you see meaningful memories and personal touches, guests may interpret these items, photos, and instructions differently. The feeling of intrusion was heightened when the resident innkeeper prepared their own family's meal in the middle of the great room, making the shared space feel less like a guest retreat and more like someone else's home with lingering odors. There's so much to love about the property--the architecture and setting are truly stunning. With a bit of refreshing (particularly in terms of dusting all the bric-a-brac) and a shift in focus back toward creating a getaway experience, TRR could easily return to the high ratings it once enjoyed--as a place where guests can relax, reset, and grow.

However, don't cancel any breakfast reservations over this because it was VERY limited. We were happy with accommodations and staff was friendly.

But the room felt like an old Best Western with thin towels, plastic cups, and tiny soaps in plastic wrappers. But the really unacceptable factor was the room was not cleaned once from the time we arrived on Thursday until our last day on Monday. This despite reminding them 3 times -count them 3 times--Sunday morning that the room needed to be cleaned before we returned that evening. Assurances were provided. And yet, we came back tired from a wedding that evening to find it once again had not been cleaned. Rather inconceivable really. We'll see what accommodation will be forthcoming when we check out tomorrow morning. I'll revise review when known.

WARNING: Hotel is NOT pet friendly. Both Priceline and the best western website had pets listed,…read morebut the website had a separate, tucked-away link, that stated that the hotel should be called directly about pets. No mention of this anywhere else on Priceline or the website itself. Clearly trying to get away with the legal minimum for informing customers I was informed at the desk that my cat was not allowed, despite being cleaner and quieter than most dogs or children. The gentleman at the front desk actually had the gall to suggest I leave my cat in the car. Which would have been for 2 days In the summer. With no food water or litter. If I wasn't so stunned I would have chewed out his stupidity. I was placed in a room right by an exit door and assumed the staff was giving me a wink wink to bring my cat in, that they had to follow policy but were trying to help. Except they called me a half hour later saying they watched me on camera with my carrier and I would be charged 300 dollars if I was "caught" with a cat in the room. Really? Watching me check in on camera? They could have just charged me if there were damages but they went that far? I had to ask a family member to call in a favor to have my cat taken care of. But what if I couldn't? What if I couldn't afford to cancel the room without a refund and go to another hotel? Or risk the 300 dollar fee? What if there was nowhere to board my cat because local vet clinics were closed by the time I checked in? The whole thing was badly implemented and executed The website has a picture of a paw on the amenities for pet friendly but hides that it is DOG friendly which is not the same. The whole process was shady and shameful. 2 stars because the room was mediocre, but fine, the breakfast buffet was good and the view was great. But the whole situation was a complete mess and there was no effort by hotel staff to address it.

The 7am morning continental breakfast was surprisingly hearty. There was yogurt, cereal, milk, coffee, fruit, bread and pastries. Easy access to the motel with keyless system.

They serve breakfast from 7am-10am but it isn't your usual hotel breakfast-very well thought out local options, options for kids, etc. Additionally, the motel is across the street from the train tracks so they provide every room with a sound machine. It worked well to drown out the train sound (however, I enjoyed the train!). Would definitely come back and stay here as it is central to downtown Sandpoint and Hope.
