Reviews for Blue Lakes Inn

Review 1:You only have 1 chance to make a good impression. The windows were filfthy as were the blinds. When we pulled up I tried to talk my husband into canceling our reservations and going somewhere else

Review 2:Staff

Review 3:A little bit far to the downtown area.

Review 4:Very good location with walkable distance to the bridge. Complimentary bobble water provided. Very friendly staff and good surroundings for breakfast.

Review 5:Breakfast is only from 6-9, so we didn't take advantage of it. (mostly because we wanted to sleep in a little). Just wish it would have been maybe an hour more :(

Review 6:I was super impressed with the staff. We arrived very late (~2 AM) and Joe was pleasant and understanding. Sarah and Jessica were also wonderful and very friendly!

Review 7:The clerk at breakfast seemed a little grumpy and short of patience, but there were many of us decending on her at the same time and food ran lie

Review 8:Joe stayed in touch as we were unsure if our arrival time. Even though we got there just before 11, he offered to stay late to be there when we arrived.

Review 9:This hotel was so cute. It was decorated very nicely and had lots of extra touches like extra tile back splashes in the shower and sink area. It was modern and homey and clean. The front desk staff were really friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Their eating area reminded me of Starbucks. It was cozy and the food was good too.

Review 10:The beds had a pretty footboard, but we kept hitting our legs on them. I would suggest no foot board. Bruised and a little scraping...

Review 11:Beautifully decorated, very clean, looks like new everything. The outside looked old but was pleasantly surprised with the interior and the very comfortable beds!

Review 12:Absolutely nothing

Review 13:We liked everything about this place. We had bunks in oiur room so it was just perfect for this family of five. The gentleman at the desk was more helpful then when I stay at a Red Lion.

Review 14:Outlets were in the wrong locations. No place to plug chargers and computers in. Tub wouldn't drain properly. No coffee in my room. Out of coffee at breakfast temporarily. But it's not excusable. Get two airpots. Or keep them full. Everyone has just minutes to get out of the motel in the morning.

Review 15:Friendly staff

Review 16:Nothing

Review 17:From the outside it doesn't look like much, but the rooms are all very modern and everything looks new. The style is great and the front desk was very helpful. Our dogs were welcomed, which is always appreciated

Review 18:Breakfast was a little lacking.

Review 19:The best room we stayed in Idaho. Very clean & walking distance from places to eat. I would definitely stay there again. Boutique hotels are better places to stay, in my opinion. Pool sitting area was very quaint.

Review 20:Could use a light over the closet area, as it very dark over in that corner.

Review 21:We actually got the accessible room we requested. Hot water, a refrig and microwave, and great TV.

Review 22:The breakfast was so so.. Not a fresh warm breakfast that was homemade, but good coffee yogurt, juices, basic stuff.

Review 23:everything was clean and they spent time making the little things look really nice. We had 4 friends staying and chose the family room and we like that... bunk beds so we all got our own space. Bottom bunk was double and top big twin.

Review 24:standard strip comnercial location and initial appearance of an older motel but better inside

Review 25:Very nicely decorated rooms, great bed, decent tv, great hot tub

Review 26:Had knee operation 6 months ago & asked early in the day if we could have a ground floor room--we were denied because the staff said the rooms would fill up fast...turned out there were only about 5 cars in the lot late that night--staff appears reluctant to accommodate.

Review 27:game room / sauna

Review 28:The motel has been recently remodeled. It was very cute and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The rooms were very nice, breakfast was very good! I would definitely stay here again.

Review 29:The beds could have been a little more comfortable! But we did request lots of pillows with our reservation and they were on the bed waitin for us as opposed to when we have done this at other hotels it takes several calls to the front desk before they are received. We are habitual Hampton inn & Hilton Garden Inn customers but the BLI price couldn't be beat this time. We would stay there again!

Review 30:The front desk girl was very friendly and possessed excellent customer service skills! She had delicious, warm chocolate chip cookies for us upon our arrival.

Review 31:The heating unit is so loud, it's startling when it comes on. Also, the inn is right on the main road so traffic is loud. The toilet and tub are in a seperate room which is nice but it was pretty tight in there.

Review 32:The room was clean and was recently remodeled. I appreciated the breakfast. The cafe area to eat in was remodeled as well and was charming. Please note that the ice machine is in the cafe area.

Review 33:My only suggestion is the coffee served at breakfast should be a bit stronger. Those that appreciate weak coffee can always add water to strong coffee, but it's difficult to strengthen weak coffee . . .

Review 34:Wonderfully renovated mid-century motel that has been transformed into a very comfortable boutique motel with original Idaho artwork and great decoration. Great bed and pillows. Very cooperative and helpful staff. Very good breakfast in quite comfortable breakfast room, complete with real plates, bowls and silverware -- no styrofoam. I will make it a point to stay here the next time I pass through Twin Falls. Very enjoyable stay.

Review 35:Sara the Desk Clerk made us feel very comfortable, offering us her delicious home made chocolate chip cookies. Unique classy furnishings, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good!

Review 36:Great location on main road, can walk to restaurants. Rooms are at 90 angle from main road, so noise not an issue. Loved the decor...hip but understated. Great bed made for a good nights sleep. Very friendly and helpful front desk staff. Will definitely be back when next in Twin falls..

Review 37:At first I was a little uneasy with the safety of the parking lot. However, they had security cameras and the guy who checked us in informed us we could contact him after hours if we needed anything. Great customer service!

Review 38:Great service and great quality. Comfy bed, clean room, and cozy decor. Great location for travelers. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Review 39:Our first room smelled like smoke so we said something and they were nice and gave us another. Thenext was better but had small dog hair on the top bed sheet. Since it wasn't in the bed we were fine with this room.

Review 40:Very friendly and helpful. Rooms are nicely decorated.

Review 41:Nothing. I don't know how to get to 200 characters in this area, other than to talk about baseball. I suppose I can complain about the coffee. It tasted like coffee you would normally get at a restaurant, and not like Starbucks - but then again, it isn't supposed to. I really liked this place.

Review 42:Everything. Absolutely everything. When we first arrived we were greeted by a very courteous person. Check in was easy, and we received a succinct brief of breakfast, etc. Room was a big surprise. The exterior looks nice, modern, and clean, but when I saw the doors facing the parking lot I will admit I was curious if I had made a good choice...until I opened the door to the room. Very nicely appointed, big king bed, furnished appropriately, refrigerator, toiletries very good. Looked new to me, and upscale. Breakfast was fantastic. Spoke briefly with a young lady that was cleaning the rooms, and another that processed our checkout - both disarmingly genuine and friendly, polite and courteous. I would stay here again, and intend to. Easy to find, great location, convenient to freeway.

Review 43:how tasty the cinnamon rolls we're cause I ended up eating a whole one.

Review 44:everything! The staff was great when we arrived in a huge thunderstorm and helped us get inside as quickly as possible. stay on the first floor! access was so easy to everything.

Review 45:I think the carpet could have used a good vacuuming.

Review 46:The room was spacious and modern. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast selections were very good. There were freshly baked cookies offered every day.

Review 47:Nothing not to like.

Review 48:The man at the desk that night was friendly and helpful. I showed him an atlas and asked for some info. He actually got on the computer and located a helpful website for me regarding road conditions. We were traveling to purchase a horse and road conditions were VERY important to us! Also, the décor was very hip & cool. Beautiful!! I absolutely loved the interior décor that they had done. The breakfast area was very, very nice. I would stay there every time if I happened to visit again.

Review 49:There was a paper on the floor behind the night table and it was not ours.

Review 50:The room was comfortable and peaceful. Nice place. I would definitely book a stay again. Breakfast was good. The staff was friendly and concerned about our comfort.

Review 51:Staff, beautiful and modern, very comfortable room, with amenities galore, even water in the fridge! Breakfast was superb! Omelets, crispy bacon, cereals, Cinnamon rolls, muffins, lots of fruit, yogurt, lots of drink choices! BEST breakfast on our 4200 mile trip and nicest room!

Review 52:The room was dirty! To look at it from a distance, you couldn't see it , but once you get in, you see all sorts of things. I wanted to take a bath and there wasn't any way to hold the water in the tub. Pictures are much better than the real deal

Review 53:I stayed at this place before it was remodeled. It is much improved in that regard.

Review 54:You couldn't watch TV from the only chair in the room.

Review 55:Modern rooms Location Staff's ability to give directions and knowledge of the area Great breakfast selection - loved the cinnamon rolls

Review 56:The only complaint would be the window coverings, but that always seemsto be a design flaw in most motel rooms. I managed to make it work toblock the light. You will too. Not a big enough deal to keep me away!

Review 57:Blue Lakes Inn was a very pleasant surprise to the end of a long roadtrip. After staying in a variety of motels, this place was a treat! Thestaff were pleasant and helpful, the bed was very comfy, great shower,fast WiFi, and the free breakfast was way more than I expected (reallygood bacon!). I can't recommend this place highly enough, especiallyfor the $$! I've stayed in motels 3 times the cost that were not abit better.

Review 58:I loved the decor, the friendliness, the little touches...and the welcome mat for our dogs. Even treats for them! Oh, and I almost forgot the great breakfast!
