Best Western Lodge at River's Edge

Great: -When we made reservations the lady was very nice, helpful and listened carefully to what we needed. We were traveling with our two small dogs. We stayed two nights. -Great location. Right on the Clearwater river (we stayed in room #115). Our room was quiet and in the very end of the building. Beautiful view of the river! We were on the first floor with a door leading out to the patio overlooking the river. Very clean. I walked around the room in my white socks on the carpet and tile and my socks did not look gross. -Plenty of towels (they are a little rough so if you like soft towels bring your own). They also provide two luggage racks in the closet! You don’t have to ask for a second one. -Dog bed, two bowls, treats and poop bags were in the room when we arrived. -Super fast WiFi! Also, if you have AT&T as your cell phone carrier there is no service in this area (Orofino). -Very friendly, helpful service at the front desk. -Breakfast was great. The lady in charge of the breakfast was working hard. We made sure to leave her a good tip. -Breakfast is yogurt, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, waffles, bagels, yummy blueberry muffins, cereal, you can also make a breakfast burrito too. -Nice hotel gift shop with yummy huckleberry items to purchase! -Hotel is close to many restaurants. The Edge restaurant is just a few steps away from the hotel (it’s in the parking lot). Great seafood (shrimp sandwich and salmon sandwich was amazing). Beautiful patio overlooking the river but it’s not dog friendly so we picked up our food then brought it back to the hotel and ate it on the hotel beautiful patio. -Amazing huckleberry ice cream shakes at Augie’s located in old downtown Orofino. Highly recommend! -Many nice areas to walk your dog near the hotel. The city park is next door and there is a nice greenbelt path from the hotel (cross the old railroad bridge) to find the path over to the park (kids splash water area and playground equipment). -Very comfortable bed, sheets and pillows. -We loved having a ceiling fan above the bed and a good fan in the bathroom! Air conditioner worked great! -Our room had a fridge, microwave and coffee pot. -Overall we were very impressed with this hotel especially with it being in a small town. -If you’re looking for things to do drive over to the dam, lakes and the canoe park (where Lewis and Clark built many wooden canoes). Also, there are a few fun shops downtown. -We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to our family and friends! less

I love this motel with it's incredible views of Orofino Creek and the Clearwater River. Super clean, lovely up to date decor and very pleasant, helpful staff. The pubic patio space on the river is extraordinary. I stayed in June 2020, mid CoVid pandemic. Even though Clearwater County has had zero cases, all the precautions I expected and appreciated were in place. Plexiglass shield over check in desk, sanitized pens, drop box for used keys and the staff were very careful with anything they handed you. This was not true at a BW+ I stayed at the 2 prior nights in Liberty Lake, WA. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautiful. The River View rooms have an extraordinary view and private balconies. I watched humans and Bald Eagles fishing just below me. However, the balconies can be quite hot in the direct evening sun. Bathrooms are lovely and well equipped. In the morning or after the sun goes behind the hills, the balcony is the perfect place to just sit, visit, have a drink or do yoga. I stayed in the Kelly Suite, which did seem a bit pricey - but it was the only room available with a river view. Regular rooms are priced well On this trip, it was worth it for me. less

Just feet from a very deep swift river. My husband was so happy as he could walk out on the balcony and keep tabs on the river. Literally a few steps to a great place to fish. Step on the balcony and enjoy the sight and sound of the rushing water. The beds were pillow top comfort and were nicely decorated. A pretty property and friendly staff. We will stay again. less

Great property right by the Clearwater river. Very nice rooms. Great price! So many things to do in and around orofino then to come back to a great room. Convenient and tasty restaurant right next to the hotel with other options within walking distance to choose from less

If you are looking to get away from it all and have a relaxing time in a pristine setting, then the Lodge in Orofino, ID is the place to go!! Friendly and warm town with a slow pace,, cannot beat it!! Staff is outstanding and have become friends!! less
