Red Lion Hotel Templin's on the River

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property itself is beautiful right on the lake. It’s absolutely beautiful. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired. The room was outdated. Didn’t have one hook in the bathroom to hang anything on no sink area or vanity for you to get ready in the bathroom. It had a weird sliding door that didn’t have an actual door knob or handle. It was like a piece of metal that ran odd and if you shut it all the way it would catch, and you would be locked in the bathroom. It literally took my friend to help me get out of the bathroom because the door would not open. I just feel that the rooms for the price we paid should’ve been a little more updated or renovated.

An overall good accommodation outside the city of Coeur D'Alene (just 12 mins far by car). If you like biking, you can ride to CdA without moving your car. The trail goes through Post Falls. There is plenty of parking at this hotel.

Other than guests not picking up their dog poop, it was clean.

Great hotel resort right on the river! Great for overnight travel, decent restaurant, small beach, fun bars, comfortable beds, and reasonably priced rooms that are perfectly a throw-back to the late 80s. Great for dogs! Excellent property for your dogs! We stay here every time we drive I-90!

The pictures online of this hotel appear to make it nicer than it was. It has a very dark, dingy, motel-feel to it. When we checked in, the front desk person was very kind and helpful, but he had very red, bloodshot eyes and appeared to be under the influence. (I do not know this for sure). He gave us our keycard and instructed us that we would enter the building through a separate door that could only be opened by using our key. After trying unsuccessfully to get into the building for several minutes, we finally walked back to the front desk for assistance. He shared that the door has been broken for a few weeks, and he would keep it propped open with a doorstop. This felt concerning, as it would then allow anyone to come in and out of the building. When we finally got in and walked through the building to our room, everything appeared very dark, run-down, and outdated. We were traveling with a toddler and did not feel like the atmosphere would be a positive and relaxing environment for our family, so we made the decision to leave after 20 minutes and drive back home (over 5 hours away). We travel frequently and have never experienced such a discrepancy in what we were expecting.

It's a big place and there wasn't a conference going on while we were there, so it's pretty quiet. It was a great place to stay overnight with our little dog.

Hate to sound whiny, we don’t normally leave negative reviews but… Hotel is pretty run down. Pictures do not do it justice. We won’t stay here again, staff was great, food was good. Location is awesome. But, the paper thin walls/ceiling made for a rough time sleeping. Have you ever been to Reno? That’s what it feels like. I’m sure it was nice 30 years ago.

The room was clean but could use some upgrades. The heating unit in our room was rattlely.

New hot tub and pool! Really good food in restaurants

Older hotel, I can tell it use to be quite fancy, there are tennis courts that are now over grown and nolonger functional, and a nice little beach front area of grass and sand that are both covered in goose poop, but back when they were maintained they were probably pretty enjoyable. Huge grounds with lots of grassy areas for dog walking and sniffing, and no pet fee so that was nice. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and the funtional areas of grounds were well kept. Also had nice, well maintained docks, and boating area. The restaurant is priced as if it were still a fancy hotel, and breakfast was not included. No coffee maker in the room and the coffee in the lobby was put away around noon. The shower was okay, but definitely not great, and the bedroom door was difficult to shut. It do look like many of the guests really enjoyed the bar, but we dont drink and being near it (especially on karaoke night) was loud and annoying. If you like quiet I would request a room that is not near the lobby or restaurant. I will say, we are use to staying in much nicer hotels, and it was definitely much nicer than a motel 6 or super 8. We stayed there out of necessity because it was hoopfest weekend and the hotels I would normally book were $200 more a night than usual. 😔

Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, property was pretty well maintained, (The grass near the water and the beach area was covered in goose poop. Couldn't really walk there or enjoy the area near the water because of it). It was a good place to stay with our dogs... lots of space to walk and sniff (other than near the water). It is an older hotel, and a bit outdated. The door to our room was a bit difficult to close. I wish the free coffee was available all day (not just in the mornings), or they had one of those little coffee makers in the rooms so I could have made my own, and a free breakfast to go with it would have been really nice. The restaurant there was kinda expensive for a 3 star hotel... Also we were in a room near the front desk/lobby adjacent from the restaurant/bar and the music they played for karaoke night was so loud we had difficulty hearing our TV, so if you like quiet, request not to be near the lobby!

The chef is amazing No coffee pot in the room

A bit run down. Not worth the extra money for the river view room since it is blocked by trees and our walk out room had no patio furniture. Other rooms had it but some were chairs were broken. Outside key entrance was broken so door was propped open. Nice bar and restaurant. Staff was helpful and friendly.

Never got house keeping to clean my room for three nights. Waited 10 minutes for someone at the restaurant to seat us. Ended up leaving to eat somewhere else.

The staff deserves an A+. Every one we encountered was friendly and helpful, including the restaurant staff. Our room was described as “deluxe” but was just average. It was clean and fairly comfortable, but we were a bit disappointed and felt that it was somewhat overpriced.

The amenities were great. There is a bar and restaurant inside the hotel. Didn’t go to the bar but did go to the restaurant. Again, the staff at the restaurant were friendly but it took a long time to get our order taken and for our order to come out. They were not busy whatsoever, there were 4 other families (of 2-4 people) that were there. The food was okay-ish. Some of the things were really good, but some of the other food my family and I got came cold or a little undercooked. Overall, the hotel was ok. Just could use a few updates to the rooms.

Breakfast was good. Free coffee in am in lobby. Ice machine on our floor not working.

Beautiful resort we love visiting ❤️

My toilet was clogged up and I ended up using a restroom near the pool area most of the time. Especially at night. The restaurant was also closed all day on Monday

Room is quite and adequate. The price for the room is reasonable for the older hotel and rooms. What I didn.t like was the room smelled of heavy cleaner or something. Also the floor and chair had stains on them, however, the room was clean and comfortable.
