    Almota Inn - Almota Inn at Boyer Park & Marina

    Almota Inn

    (4 reviews)

    If I could, I wouldn't give any stars to the management of Boyer Park. The location is excellent,…read morethe park is decent, however the management is horrendous. Mike and Monica Olmstead who are the owners of this place are bullies and micromanage everything. We came out here to do the pikeminnow program as well as work nearby so we are long term campers. We had planned to stay for approximately 6 months but will be leaving after only 2 months of putting up with absolute bullshit. First off, they give fishermen who are here for the pikeminnow program a monthly rate of $500. They knew we are here for the pikeminnow program but still charges us $600 per month. Mike loves to get up in your face without a regard for personal space/bubble and list off all the issues that he has with how you are camping/living. The first 2 weeks we were here, he was at our campsite daily bitching about everything under the sun. They finally gave us the list of campground rules a week after we moved there. After getting that packet of rules, we complied with making sure our campsite was abiding by the rules. Mike will still patrol the park every night and cruise around once or so during the day because he thinks he is a police officer. I'm sorry but when I camp I do it to get away from the city, to have some peace and to relax. Here we cannot, we are constantly watched. They watch every move you make and judge and will complain to you about it. Now, we have a 9 year old son with us and he enjoys riding his bike all over. At every other campground/rv park we have been to, we never had an issue with our son riding his bike by himself or with other kids. One of their campground rules are targeted towards children always must be supervised. We did not know about this rule until 1 week later and they were throwing a hissy fit about it. Every weekend when the campground fills up, there are kids all over the place being unsupervised at the docks/marina, riding their bikes to the dam and back, hanging out at the beach, and so on. We have to keep telling our son, sorry those kids are not following the rules, you have to stay with us. Also they enforce the parking rule but not with the overnighters. Only to the long term people. We can't even park our truck in front of our 5th wheel. It is still on our pad sticking out a little bit. But we make sure to not drive it on the grass. We see our neighbor who are workampers for the park drive the back tire of his truck on the grass every single time he moves it. They don't complain about that. What the heck. They don't have an issue with all the rigs parked on the road next to their camper pad during the weekend. Also they say outdoor plants are not allowed but their two parties of workampers have plants and are allowed to have it outside but we aren't. Also we understand and practice the rule of no dogs off leash, yet their workkamper has their dog off leash all the time. We are sick and tired of the owners looking the other way whenever they want but harass the hell out of us. Mike pick and chooses when he wants to enforce the rules. It is tiresome having to be on the constant lookout for Mike to come ans harass us some more. And if you call him out on his bullshit, he threatens to evict you and say that we can do it the easy way or the hard way. Monica isn't too bad but she is still a stickler for rules. We get the rules but they go excessively and do not even enforce the rules with everyone. They only choose who they want to pick on. Now for those who want to come here, just come on the weekends, they won't harass you.

    It was one of those beautiful October days. My wife and I were out riding gravel roads when, right…read moreabout dinner time we ended up at the ALMOTA INN. We were hungry and decided to check the menu. We're both off the gluten thing and are usually satisfied with a bunless burger. The Almota burger sounded a couple notches better than we expected. In fact the entire menu was pretty outstanding to read. So we got the burger and holy, it had to be the best burger we've had in years. If the burger was any indication of their cooking prowess then we've discovered a gem. We're going to go back and camp at Boyer Park and try some other delectable items. The atmosphere is quiet and friendly. You won't be sorry you made the drive!

    This is one of several staying options in the Lewis-Clark Valley and I decided to choose this inn…read moreafter reading couple of reviews and comparing prices.

Complimentary toiletries are available upon request - just call the front desk. Pool towels are available poolside and please do not take room towels to the pool.

[Conclusion]: Overall a comfortable and safe inn to stay with friendly receptionists and free breakfast. It has all the basic amenities you would expect and that is exactly what you want from a standard inn.

    We had such a great stay here. Every single staff member we interacted with was genuinely kind,…read morefriendly, and welcoming -- the kind of service that immediately puts you at ease. The hotel itself is beautiful and extremely clean. Our room was spotless, cozy, and the bed was so comfortable it felt like sleeping on a cloud. The indoor pool and hot tub were a total highlight. Both were super clean, the water temperatures were perfect, and there were plenty of towels stocked. The pool room felt warm and cozy, and the open door to the outside added fresh air without making it cold. Breakfast was honestly above and beyond. It felt more like a full restaurant breakfast than a typical hotel continental spread -- hot, delicious, and way better than expected. We had so much fun staying the night here and left feeling relaxed and cared for. Absolutely recommend this hotel if you're coming through Clarkston or exploring Hells Canyon.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We called down to the front desk and requested a couple more towels, staff delivered towels in just a few minutes. There's a huge parking area and a park. We have told everyone we know about The Hampton in. Lewiston. It seriously ii five-star hotel!

    I've stayed at this Hampton multiple times and have previously reported carpet beetle activity in…read morethe rooms. I trusted it was handled, but during my most recent stay, I began experiencing itching from what looked like bug bites. Subsequently, I discovered the mattress seams were covered with debris -- hair, toenail clippings, crumbs, several live carpet beetle larvae, and another unidentified bug. Front desk staff moved me to another room on another floor, which was in the same unsanitary and filthy condition under the mattress. I checked out immediately. Management later offered a generic apology and 10,000 points, only after I reached out myself. They didn't reply to my follow up email when I explained this is a health and sanitation issue, not an inconvenience. The lack of response is concerning. This property clearly has an ongoing pest and housekeeping problem that poses a public health concern. I'm posting this so Hilton corporate is aware and guests can make an informed decision before booking.

    My mission was to find a budget motel with decent features. Mission accomplished: this place met…read morethose criteria. So: four stars. My room was clean and functional. It was very quiet. Beyond that, I enjoyed the ambiance of the lobby, where I sat and read for several hours, as various people came in and chatted with the staff. Not five stars. $100 a night passes for low-cost, these days; still, I thought they could have made sure the bathroom sink drained normally. I didn't much care for the breakfast. Sugary orange drink instead of OJ, no plain water to drink, only a toasted bagel or a dubious egg biscuit & sausage casserole for hot food. It was free - but when I got to the plastic knives that were too flimsy to spread cream cheese on my bagel, I felt that maybe the cost-cutting had gone a bit overboard. Overall, it was acceptable. It wasn't as nice and new as the competing places tend to be, but it gave me what I needed, at a lower cost than most of those competitors.

    This is a nicer older motel on the main drag (SR 12). Great staff. Nice room. Really huge room…read more Two beds (for just little ole me)... two desks, a fridge, TV, microwave, massive bathroom. For $100. Parking is a bit limited. Way less spaces than there are rooms. Huge pool. Nice little patio with table and chairs right outside my room. The place is really clean and really comfortable. Since this is not a Plus property (a BW Plus is under construction just down the street) I wasn't sure what to expect but this place is fine.

This is not a fancy place but so comfortable. And the world's longest oatmeal breakfast bar was so delicious. Didn't get to check out the gym or the grilled cheese sandwiches but the outside patios are a great perk.

    Not impressed, to say the least. We arrived around 4:00 pm and checked in. We were told where our…read moreroom was and told we could park in any spot, but not the EV spots. We realized we were on the second floor and there was NO elevator. It was quite a struggle to get our luggage up the stairs. When we arrived at our room, we were very underwhelmed. The wall AC unit was crazy loud and ran pretty much ALL the time. We couldn't figure out how to turn it off, but it was too hot to turn off anyways (100 degrees on our last day). The attention to detail in the room was low. There were wires hanging down behind the TV, the doors were removed from the closet (not sure why) and only one drawer had a handle/pull. The other drawers just had holes. The bathroom vanity was touch up painted in a different color. There's a table with four chairs with room for two people (the microwave is sitting on the table). These things just made the room feel kind of low quality - like it was a rush job renovation. The bathroom backs to an alley and has a floodlight shining in the window all night - with no window cover, so you have to keep the door closed all night if you don't want the bright light shining in. The bathroom door is super noisy, so it woke everyone up if one person would get up to use the bathroom at night. The shower drain was not draining well and we stood in a bit of standing water with each shower. To e bathroom is smaller than a cruise ship. Super tight! There was a lot of dust in the bathroom and the shower cleanliness was questionable. There were no towels or paper towels in the kitchen, which I thought was weird. There is no housekeeping and they don't even give you fresh towels each day. We had to go down to the office twice to ask and there was no one at the desk. We waited around for quite awhile and ended up having to knock on the staff door next door to request towels. Same thing another day. The breakfast is nothing but dry crockpot oatmeal with toppings and pop tarts. The oatmeal was ok for a day or two, but we got really sick of it by the third day. As far as sleep, I had a hard time because the windows only had pull down shades which didn't fit well and the sun started streaming in the back window early. The bed was comfortable but the pull out sofa bed was miserable. I felt bad that my daughter had to sleep on it. We were in Pullman to help my daughter move into her new apartment, so the uncomfortable bed pushed her to start sleeping in her apartment before it was even fully ready. The parking was a nightmare. The second night we returned late and couldn't find a spot. We tried to go to the office to ask where to park, but the office was closed. We drove around back and parked. We didn't notice any no parking signs. The next morning we had a tow warning notice on our car. We were never told where the overflow parking was - just not to park in the EV spots. Apparently you can park on the side of the hotel, but not the back. Thank goodness we didn't have our car towed! The three positives: The free drink on the first night was a nice perk. The people in the office were pretty friendly. The main bed was comfortable. The negatives: - No elevator - Loud, subpar AC - Floodlight in bathroom window - Rickety bathroom door - Poor drainage in shower - Tiny, dirty bathroom - No housekeeping or fresh towels - Very little parking - Limited breakfast (oatmeal and pop tarts only) - Uncomfortable pull out bed - No way to contact front desk, except calling main reservation line and getting an AI assistant or going down to office and speaking to someone (if they're there). - Dilapidated and dirty rooms We have stayed in Pullman before and while we understand that accommodation options are limited, we were shocked that this hotel had such raving reviews. It makes us question the validity of all this reviews...
