Went for a quick spring weekend get-away. Main reasons for selecting the Edgewater were their pet policy and being right on the city beach. After reading some of the negative reviews, we thought we'd give it a shot and be ready to move elsewhere for the second night if needed. We ended up being pleasantly surprised and stayed there both nights. Room was clean & comfortable and looked like it had been recently refurbished. No "bad" odors anywhere as had been previously reported. All rooms face the great view overlooking the lake and mountains. Balconies were small but functional. The train tracks are across the parking lot, but we were not bothered by any train noise. No traffic going by the lot to the Seasons complex either, but it was not the high season...If we had to complain, the only detractor was a squeaking/creeking floor from the room above ours. Get a third floor room and the problem would be solved. Not sure I'd want to stay for more than a few days at a time, but for short visits it was fine.

“Ack! Nasty.”

Best Western Edgewater Resort

2/2 found this review helpful

The only two reasons to stay, the view and location...well, I take that back...just one reason. The location was and is getting worse with the trains 50 feet from the building and then there's all the traffic going threw the parking lot to the Season's condos. I hear the new hiway is going in next to the track so this place will be at the bottom of my list next time I stay in town.

The rooms smell like an old hotel that allowed smoking at one time. The decor is old as well as the linens. The pool smells like a chlorine and the ventilation sucks. The rugs are nasty. The desk help was ...was there. Nothing to get enthused about.

Maybe putting in a sound wall and spiffying up the place will change my mind....

“Over-priced dum...!”

3/3 found this review helpful

Great location... Disgusting hotel!

The hallways were filthy. The rooms were dated... the furniture and bedding faded and worn out...and the paint was chipping off of the bathroom doors.

We tried to use the hot tub and saunas but both were broken. (Saunas wouldn't turn on and the hot tub jets were clogged with something odd).

Then there was the train... I'm not sure, but I think it runs (right behind the property) EVERY 20-30 MINUTES. It was so loud!

Best Western needs to do a complete overhaul on the place. FYI: We paid $179.10 per room, for two rooms.

I was coming back through Sandpoint Idaho a little unexpectadly and had to find a place to stay. My new favorite was all booked up so I had to hit the hotels one by one to find a place. The Best Western seemed like it would be okay. Right on the lake, had a realtively nice restaurant and best of all they had a vacancy. Not bad, pretty dated. It can use some updates and maybe a little deep cleaning. (Corners, grout & behind furniture could be a little scary.)
The staff was all right they didn't go out of their way to be friendly but they weren't rude.
for those of you that hae never been to Sandpoint. It is a beautiful community in all seasons and I love visiting. There is train tracks sporatically through the town and apparently the busiest of them all goes right behind this hotel all hours of the day and night and can be quite startling when you are drifting off to sleep.
Ear plugs and Possible blind fold hightly recomended.

“Five STAR location, Average Hotel”

Best Western Edgewater Resort

Aug 8, 2007

Lovely, lovely location; incredible lake views! Property fronts City Beach, perfect for an early morning dip.
Hotel room was very basic, clean but certainly unexceptional.
I booked directly with the property and was told to ALWAYS do that. Best Western and other travel websites show no vacancy though vacancies can often be found through the hotel directly.
