OK for a Night
We took a chance at staying here for a short getaway, knowing it was not a chain. It was nice, but a little rough around the edges. I would stay for a night, but probably would not stay for a getaway with my wife again.
The room my friend got put in had not been cleaned. They moved her to the suite. That was awesome.
The room we were in had a unique smell and stains on the furniture and floor. Outside there was dog poop on the sidewalks even though we paid extra money to have dogs there. The hotel provided poop bags and a spot for dogs to go, but that area was full of dog poop.
There are people living in this hotel. That’s not advertised. The room above us vacuumed their room at 9:00 p.m. Many people sat outside in their cars or stood around smoking. There was a couple making out or more in the parking lot.
I’ve been to Blue Lakes in before. I liked it. This time, it seemed seedy. I’ll be paying the same amount (or less without dog fee) at LaQuinta next time.
Enjoyed a change of pace from the regular chain hotels. My stay at BLI was a hassle free, enjoyable and much needed restful stop. My room was extremely clean, very well appointed - they thought of everything you need - and very comfortable. The staff and service was great and their attention to Covid 19 precautions was very much welcomed.
It was modern/newly renovated...loved the blinds! The bed lighting was upscale and the use of wood throughout was a nice touch. The vanity area was sleek and modern. The sink really made that area.
We never got to stay here. We were contacted a week after the reservations were made and told they were closing for the season. Our reservation was transferred to the Fairfield Inn and there were too many things that went wrong to list here but let’s just say the Fairfield Inn was not happy with the situation and they are DEFINITELY NOT dog friendly!!!

It felt like i was in an almost ready to use room.
Refreshing departure from the corporate formula in a privately owned, renovated motel!

The interior was well decorated and clean but when we booked it we didn’t expect it to be a motel. I much prefer a lobby. The WiFi was really slow and the cable was pretty glitchy. Breakfast wasn’t ready until 6:45am and finally a ‘dog friendly’ hotel that charges a $35 (over 20% of the room rate) should not be listed as a pet friendly hotel. We would have stayed at a LaQuinta because the dog rate at Blue Lake made it more expensive.
The hotel was very clean. The bed was especially comfortable. I accidentally left some items behind and staff were very helpful and kind about putting them aside for me till I can return.
A great breakfast. Normally those free breakfast are awful but here, full breakfast, and real mug. No plastic.. nice. Also with designs specific to each room, it feels almost homey. We would recommend this place to any one in need to make a pit stop in twin falls. Very nice decor, and comfy bed. Because there is always room for improvement, I would say got to change the pillows that are hard foams as soon as possible. Softer towels would be nice too.
When I showed up to the office to check in there as nobody there. I wanted for 25 minutes for someone to show up and give me my room key. I called the phones multiple times and left voicemails, but nobody was around to help me. I ended up NOT staying at this Inn and had to get another room at a different hotel. Please give me a refund.
The staff was great and the room was clean. The bacon for breakfast was really good, and the pool was well kept. Not much to complain about here. It was not as hot outside as I'd like! ;)
This place was clean, but disappointing! We pulled in at 10pm. I Needed a hot tub after an 8 hr. Drive & the pool closed at 10pm😣 To get ice, I walked all over to find a machine, which I finally found in the office downstairs. No elevator to get my suitcase upstairs. No wash rags in the bathroom. Only 1 small bar of soap. No one answered the phone to the office! Breakfast was minimal & not very good!
Old school motel recently upgraded. Did not use the pool, so nothing to say about that. Pillows were a bit hard for our liking. All in all, everything was fine, but would not pay the $140 nightly rate again.
We almost passed this place up, but glad we decided to stay (based on its high rating). It deserves the rating. Small, unique, recently remodeled, spotless, excellent little outdoor pool. Good customer service and nice breakfast. We will be staying there again.
This is an old-school "motel style" inn, but it has been updated to modern standards. The rooms are comfortable and clean with a good mix of modern flair and retro utility.
The breakfast offerings are good -- real bacon, sausage, and eggs; pastries, yogurts, and juices. No decaf coffee, though (not important for most people, I suppose).
Great cookies at the front desk.
There's a small outdoor pool and a hot tub, too.
The owners are deeply invested in making the experience good; their passion shows.
We did have a little trouble with getting our room regularly serviced; they were have a bit of an issue with some of their cleaning staff. That can happen and we took it in stride.
