Stayed here for one night in early August while following the Lewis and Clark Trail - it was ideal to visit the Weippe Prairie and Clearwater River route. It was a hidden gem, given its fairly isolated location for a large hotel. Lots of people must pass on Highway 12 and not know of its existence. The hotel itself was... more

This motel is a gem. The owners are friendly and professional. The place is immaculate, and the price is right! We stayed an extra night because it fit our needs so well. more

The people that own this hotel are wonderful. The rooms are about average for a motel. The pool is not heated, so even though it was in the 90s outside, the pool was too cold to go in (lots of kids went in with no problem, but no adults!). The steak and potato dinner is a good deal for $15-... more

This is a very pleasant and relaxing hotel on the river. The hotel and the grounds are neat and tidy; our room was well-equipped with comfortable bed, small refrigerator, and deck with table and chairs. The main patio with the fire pits were well done. The pool and hot tub area left a bit to be desired. The hot tub... more

Spend two days at the motel, no problems with the online reservation, the room was ready at our arrival (handicaped) friendly owners and exellent steak diner. One of the cheapest motel I found on a four week travel. Will made another stay the next time we will travel on the US 212. more

The view from our room was great, we were on the ground floor so we also had great access. But the bad things about being on the ground floor is you also get a lot of ants in your room. The hotel is aware of the problem and there's not really much they can do, which we totally understood. The... more

I first noticed BW Orofino a couple of years ago when driving Hwy 12 and thought at that time that I'd love to stay there. I assumed it was expensve, but since my BF and I decided to go on a Harley ride over Lolo Pass and "beyond" over 4th of July weekend I decided to check in on lodging... more

We booked this room to celebrate an early Valentine's Day. In addition we made reservations at the restaurant for dinner. It was perfect. The ambiance in the restaurant was perfect for a romantic dinner for two. The waiter was extremely friendly and knowledgable. I can't begin to explain just how much I loved the bed in our room. It was... more

My boyfriend and I started reserving the Selway Suite in March of 2006. We returned again in March of 2007. We were very impressed with the suite, the view, and the staff. We have the suite reserved again this year for 3 nights instead of our usual 2. We think of it as our quiet little getaway. This is something... more

I originally reserved 2 rooms. One for my friend (2 nights)from Illinois I was meeting to go hunting with . And 1 for me for one night when I arrived there. He stayed one night and most of the next day until 8 that evening. I had an RV. When I spoke with the desk manager about my room she... more

I'm kind of (ok, very) picky when it comes to where I stay when traveling...and i have to say this particular Best Western is georgous! The ambiance is so welcoming and comfortable yet so classy. The beds are wonderful to sleep in, the breakfast is great, the staff is great, and you can't beat the setting. Wifi worked like a... more

I’m riding a motorcycle through the Lolo Pass and looking at my map to see where I might spend the night. Nothing appealing appears until Orofino where the exterior and setting of a hotel just seem perfect. I stop to check availability and price, and shortly afterward find myself in a very nicely appointed, river view, king bedroom with balcony... more

There aren't tons of dining options in little Orofino, and at first glance the Ponderosa doesn't look like anything too special. It's not a bistro, but a trip back in time to the days of simple eateries that served up hot food and plenty of it. We arrived on a cold rainy night and enjoyed the salad bar, hot fish... more

Fiesta en Jalisco serves good Mexican food. Both of the entrees we had were well prepared and delicious, and the portions were very generous! The atmosphere is pretty plain, but some nice murals on the wall lend a festive atmosphere. A very enjoyable meal. more

The Best Western in Orofino is a really nice place to stay. We had considered staying at a resort in this area but it was much too expensive. Then we found out about this hotel and got everything we would have had at the resort at a huge savings! The hotel's location could not be better -- located along the... more

Love the ride to Orofino. Driving up the Clearwater is a beautiful ride, either in a car or on a motorcycle. Stayed at the Konkoville Motel just three miles through town. Great place. Clean and inexpensive. You can even grill your own New York Steak. They provide baked potatoe, salad and the grill for under $14. Great value, comfortable and... more

I generally have had good experiences with Best Westerns, but this one went above and beyond all expectations. I'm not sure when it was built, but it feels very new. The room was very comfortable with a nice, contemporary decor. The rest of the hotel was very suited to the local landscape, and the view from the main lobby/breakfast room... more

We stayed here for one night on the tail end of a family vacation in June 2006. This hotel is nice. It is new and in perfect condition. The surrounding scenery is pleasing. The hotel sits at the confluence of the Clearwater and Dworshack River. Sitting on the patio on the warm clear summer evening we were there was very... more

If you are considering this property for a big party or event, I'd encourage you to reconsider. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, but the communication and customer service from the staff was some of the worst I've ever experienced. My wife and I reserved rooms here last summer (June 2006) for our wedding guests. 5-6 months ahead of time we... more
