Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We have nothing but praise for the employees. In every aspect from check-in to check-out we were impressed by the dedication of the entire staff. We travel extensively both in the United States and abroad. It is a surprise to get this level of service in a small town in rural Idaho. Hopefully we will have an opportunity to return soon.

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.

It sounds like you really took that time to explore our town and our hotel, and we are so happy that your vacation lead to an amazing five star review! And it sounds like you were in the Kelly Suite, one of our 800 sq. ft. rooms that has a full size hot tub right in the room, and a fireplace that overlooks the Clearwater River... it's a vacation/experience all in itself! Again, thank you for the review, and we hope that you will return and stay with us here in Orofino Idaho again soon!

This hotel and its staff go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and perfect. The hotel sits on the Clearwater River and is an idyllic spot to just go and spend a night. The restaurant next door is good and so is the Mexican restaurant in town. But most of all, if your ride a MOTORCYCLE, don't miss this place. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and they have a wash area with bucket, soap and microfiber towels to clean up your steed. And if you FISH, they also a fish cleaning room. The pool is heated and indoors which is uncommon these days. And the scenery is spectacular. A must stay at BW!

We had the pleasure of staying here two nights, and wish it had been longer. From the moment you enter the lobby, you feel relaxed and at home. When I made the reservation, I mentioned we were celebrating an anniversary. We had to change our plans at the last minute. Not only were they able to accommodate us in our room of choice, but they took the time to set up a gift and anniversary card in our room to welcome us as we arrived. The room was sparkling clean. Even the balcony and furniture appear to have been swept and cleaned. The rooms are well appointed, and the balcony view of the river so relaxing. The staff must enjoy their jobs because every staff member we encountered took the time to greet us as we came and went. Attention to detail can really enhance a hotel stay, and they had a few that were very appreciated. Lots of extra wall outlets, bright lights in the vanity area, big mirrors, two suitcase racks rather than just one, and even upgraded two-ply toilet paper. We arrived at the end of a long two week road trip. We always joke that we need a vacation at the end of our vacation. Our stay there felt like that vacation. Thank you Best Western at River’s Edge for a wonderful stay!

This BW is truly the best in the network of BW hotels. They have the most pleasant staff and they are as efficient as they are nice. From Memorial Day to Labor Day they have social hour with wine and munchies from 4:00 to 5:00. For people like us who travel by motorcycle, they have a bike washing station with bucket, soap and microfiber towels to clean your bike up. For those who are fishermen, they have a fish cleaning room where you can clean your daily catch. The lodge sits right on the Clearwater River and you can opt for Riverside rooms that have a gorgeous view of the river below. The breakfast selections are great and The Edge next door has great dining for lunch or dinner. There are other good restaurants available nearby that you can walk to. And best of all, they are located right on Highway 12 (Lolo Pass) which is a great road to ride over to Missoula, MT and back if you desire. But the very best part of this destination hotel is the staff. They are simply great at their jobs.

My husband and I travelled to stay at this location with friends who have stayed there several times before this trip. We have not been staying at Best Westerns lately due to prior negative experiences. This location is amazing, The hotel is located on a beautiful river and the hotel mirrors that beauty inside. The room we had facing the river was exceptional. The staff was friendly and always will to help us, The outdoor patio by the river was worthy of a very high end hotel, yet the price of this hotel was very affordable. We would recommend this hotel to anyone and will stay here in the future.

Online it showed that we would have a private balcony overlooking the river... We paid EXTRA for this upgrade. Instead, we were on a ground level open walkway right next to the lobby. I could have sat in my robe on a private balcony to enjoy the views... not here though. We tried to sit out on our "open patio" as tons of other guests walked through, walked their dogs, passed through to get to the lobby. We couldn't leave the curtains open to enjoy those river views that we paid for because everyone could see into our room. I would not have paid extra for this. I feel like it should be LESS than a regular room since you have no privacy and tons of people able to look in your room. Sounds like elephants overhead.
If a quiet couple pays to upgrade for a romantic getaway... maybe put them above the larger louder families with the private deck shown in the online pics that they are paying for. Would love to stay here again in a better room, but feeling cheated by not getting what was advertised and we paid extra for. Front desk staff were delightful. Room not as expected.

We do apologize that we were unable to place you in a Riverside upper-floor room, but we are happy that we were able to honor your early check in request. We would love to see you return and stay with us again, know that if you speak with the front desk person at check in they will do their best, based on availability, to get you in your desired upper floor river view room. We do know that some people prefer the balconies for their privacy, and some people prefer the walk out patios for their amazing view/closeness to the river.... and now that you know your preference, we will do our best to get you your desired room during your next stay!

We’d been camping in less than perfect conditions (smoke, rain) and decided to treat ourselves to a hotel stay. Saw the lodge from the highway and liked the balconies and patios associated with the rooms so decided to check it out. They allow pets and the value of the room cost was perfect. They provided a dog bed and bowl. The lobby and outside common patio are were great. Staff was great and got our room ready early.

Right on the Clearwater River, make sure you pay a little extra for a room on the river side. Saw an eagle diving for fish in the river from my balcony multiple times. Hot tub was hot, pool was cool! Will definitely be back!
