FairBridge Inn & Suites Sandpoint

This is not a fancy hotel. It’s also in a rural town. My expectations were not high. All the same, the hotel exceeded those expectations. The room and the entire hotel were very neat and clean. The water pressure and heat were both solid in the shower. The linens and towels were plush. The staff was very friendly. The location was very convenient.

Positive: Nothing Negative: It was dirty. Halls were very dark. The room smelled of smoke and the room down the hall reeked of weed when you walked by. The a/c worked five minutes and stopped. Breakfast was terrible. I don’t know how this hotel got the rating it had.

Joyce, Barbara and the housekeeper Shannon are like family to us. We have been staying here for work off and on for over a decade. The location is fabulous and right around many food choices and shopping choices. You can walk and get what you need if you don’t have a car. The free breakfast at the hotel is one of my favorites as I’m partial to biscuits and gravy. When in the area this hotel is our first choice always. Joyce and Barbara are fast and great at their jobs and Shannon is always asking if we need anything and very helpful.

We recently stayed at the Fairbridge in Ponderay.|We texted Joyce on her day off but got us squared away. Shannon had our room ready with treats. Barbs animal stories are the best. Our Amtrak was late but these girls were ready for us.

Had the best weekend getaway. What started out as a horrible weekend was made 100%. Our stay was great. Thank you to Cammie, who works the night shift, for making our trip memorable, and offering such great customer service. We will be back to the Fairbridge for sure!
