This is a new hotel with great sized rooms, very nice staff and I love that it includes a free breakfast. We will definitely come back but there are a few things that surprised me so just be aware. 1) Parking is $10/day even though this is a rural hotel and there is plenty of extra parking 2) Housekeeping ...

Centralized location for hunting
Ponderay has all of the amenities that one would need while traveling. Full service town close to sand point and Schweitzer too. I even went to the movies.
Went there for a soccer tourney and it’s a lovely town!
Sandpoint was lovely to walk around the downtown and beach area. Didn't explore Ponderay, but appeared to be more spread out like a suburb.
Love that is close to Sandpoint
