Ninepipes Lodge

I was referred to this place by a friend in Coeur d'Alene who couldn't say enough good things about it. In fact, they raved about it. I had really high expectations but when we showed up last weekend (August 2025) the place was in disarray; two chefs had quit so the menu was limited, they were short staffed and it showed. The front desk clerk was wearing a tank top and shorts and was covered in tattoos (not a good first impression) and didn't even tell the truth about the breakfast hours. The wait staff and bartender did their best to fill in on kitchen duties. The deck was messy with spider webs and barn swallow excrement running down the walls. Weeds lined the edges and landscaping was non existent. Everything was messy and unkempt; weeds everywhere, an unfinished swimming pool with tools and products laying around the edge. The whole place reeked of non-caring and labor shortages. The room was sad and disappointing. Dark, hard to see. We were bitterly disappointed and will never go back.

VERY CLEAN

Unfortunate Staff was friendly. Breakfast included, though limited options, always appreciated. The room was large and somewhat outdated but very doable. Reasons for poor rating; strong odor of pets(?) though hard surface floors, running the fan caused allergic reaction eyes/throat. Had to keep windows open, our room faced the Highway, we heard traffic all night, stained bedding and hair.

Tv was confusing to operate. Shower could use safety mat or even safety handle.meat at buffet breakfast was really greasy. Otherwise it was great.we choose this place everytime we are in the area.beautiful view of the mountains. Peaceful and quiet.

Not enough wonderful things to say about Nine Pipes. Rooms are always immaculate, staff is very friendly, food is amazing and of course there is the views!!!

Exceeded expectations The hotel is great, clean, in a beautiful setting, the restaurants food is excellent for dinner. The staff are outstanding. Everyone goes above and beyond. We will stay again.
