Top Rat Island Hotel Reviews
Cabin in the Meadow
10/10 Excellent
"Amazing cabin, close to town, but feels like you’re secluded from the world. Cute place, very modern/rustic feel, very cozy and comfortable. Highly recommend this place, my wife and I will be revisiting again for sure! Owners were very kind and very helpful with any of the questions we had."
Hotel Ruby Ponderay/Sandpoint
6/10 Okay
"The rooms are nice & clean. Hotel property is kept very clean & looks nice. The breakfast went from a 10 star back in November 2025 to a 2 star now. The only actual hot option was a waffle. There was a prepackaged breakfast sandwich I had to heat up in the microwave - no thank you. The staff when we checked in were pleasant but did not go out of their way. The staff in the morning - cleaning staff was pleasant & helpful, desk staff were not very pleasant & did not appreciate when I voiced my opinion about the breakfast. I understand circumstances have changed but the hotel needs to pick it up and do better where the breakfast is concerned. The pool area is great & the fire pits outside are very nice."
Lakefront guest house, dock access. Kayak, peddleboat, and rowboat... fishing.
10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay here. The guest house was exactly as described. The fresh ground coffee bar was really neat! The views of the lake are amazing"
America's Best Value Inn Sandpoint
10/10 Excellent
"Friendly professional staff focused on helping the client. "
Talus Rock Retreat
8/10 Good
"Wonderful. The only comment, and it’s minor, is that we would have appreciated some arrangements for breakfast. Coffee/tea and something to go along with it, as there is nothing in the immediate area available. "
Springhill Suites By Marriott Sandpoint
6/10 Okay
"Made a request via email and phone to have the fragrances products removed from our room before our stay. Assured it oils be done but wasn’t. Seems like a small ask "
Selkirk Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Great"
Stoneridge Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Lots of activities and no pressure to buy into timeshare options"
Sandpoint Hotel & Suites Downtown
8/10 Good
"This was our second time staying here. The first time we stayed in a hot tub suite and the beds were MUCH more comfortable than our double queen room. The beds in the double queen were pretty bad. The property is nice, pool is great, love that it's walking distance to everything downtown. Will definitely stay again while passing through."
