Top Coolin Hotel Reviews

Hotel Ruby Ponderay/Sandpoint

Hotel Ruby Ponderay/Sandpoint

10/10 Excellent
"Nice place. I would stay there again. I was impressed with the variety of food and beverages offered for breakfast. I hadn't seen English Breakfast Tea in the Tea Sections in a while out of all the places in which I've stayed at. And I've felt like some British Tea for North Idaho just as I have back in my home state of Washington since North Idaho is more like Washington than Southern Idaho is despite the major political differences between the 2 states. North Idaho observes Pacific Standard Time just like Washington. And with the exception of I-90 in the interior of the Idaho Panhandle no posted speed limits above 70 mph, just like in Washington State and England and all the U.K., and more 60 mph posted speed limits on 2-lane roads in North Idaho just like state of Washington and the U.K., thus making North Idaho, north of I-90, a traditional English Tea drinking part of my country along with the state of Washington. And this place had some English Tea offered with Breakfast. Staff was great, too. And the hot tub was warm enough that I could just relax my legs in it without putting the rest of myself in there."

"The location was great! Many restaurants, lounges, and shops were within easy walking distance. Connies, a longtime favorite restaurant and bar is connected to the property. We were able to find covered parking both nights we stayed, but that area filled up each night. The room was clean. There were two sinks; one in the shower room and another with a vanity adjacent. The room had a nice desk area, microwave, refrigerator, an upholstered chair with an ottoman. Complimentary water and breakfast were included."
