The location is ideal, far enough away from the bustle, but close to everything you need for vacation. The rooms are thematic, and we stayed in the "Mustang Suite ", decorated with several cool horse photos. Coeur D'Alene is a wonderful lakeside community (a huge lake) where you'll find excellent shopping, art galleries, and dozens of restaurants. You can drive up the mountain and see some wonderful views of the lake and countryside . There are parks with some large children's playgrounds. The local populace is very friendly, and they welcome tourists. I only wish we'd stayed at oeast one more day!

Things I liked: 1. Hotel staff gave good instructions on how to operate the microwave. (It's older…read morewith no instructions for use)- not a simple button but a slide mechanism to operate. 2. The breakfast area was clean and the food was good. Things that need improvement: Overall cleanliness. I noticed the following: 1. The pool area was dirty with a huge clump of hair floating around from the drain. 2. The entrance mat was full of dirt and grass and was left that way throughout my two day visit. 3. There is no soap or body wash provided. 4. I noticed some blood ( I presume) spots on the sheets. 5. Although a room service tag is provided, no room service was performed. The hotel is in a nice location and with some TLC could be a much nicer stay for guests.

I wish I would have looked at the reviews before booking this.

We had a great experience at Japan House Suites. I give it 5 stars for what it is: an extremely…read morewell-kept motel. You will not be staying in the lap of luxury, but the place is very friendly and extremely clean. It's also very conveniently located, near downtown and the lake. The best part of staying here is the delicious, hot breakfast you get in the morning! We were treated to delicious Japanese omelets made by Mimi, but you can choose from about eight entrees (including many nutritious options for the health-conscious). I'm including a picture of my Japanese omelet here, but I have to apologize: I forgot to take the picture until after I had already dug in, so it's not as pretty as it was when it first came out. Mimi and Kim, the guy at the front desk, were extremely gracious and helpful. We highly recommend staying here. Please note that the motel does not accept American Express.

The Japan House was not only convenient to the wonderful sights on Main St. and the harbour but it was the cleanest we have experienced in a long time. That means even more so than more expensive hotels we have been in. We have found out that the price you pay certainly doesn't assure you'll be happy. And, best of all, the BEDS! We both agree that they are the most luxurious and comfortable we've encountered. And, the hosts are very friendly and accomadating. We would highly reccommend a stay at the Japan House !

They first gave us a room with new carpet which she was VERY proud of and concerned that my bunny not poop on (I DO understand this, and I have a carrier I keep my bunny in, in a motel room....the reason we picked this motel is that there was grass there that he could play in) but it was cheap indoor/outdoor carpet, and it smelled so bad from the adhesive that we could not stay in the room (I have asthma, and the smell was causing me to have trouble breathing). They reluctantly gave us a different room. Please note, I am VERY adaptable and do NOT expect a 5 star hotel when I KNOW I am staying in a cheap motel. There is a very cheap lock on the door with no chain or deadbolt, and as you can see from the pics, the door had been previously kicked in. A little scary. The owners left shortly after we arrived, and immediately, the people who LIVE here, were at the office, it LOOKED like they were breaking in (I was afraid to look too long)...hope they were not retreiving CC info. I saw three people drive up, go into a room and leave within 5 minutes....hmmmmmm, wonder what was going on there. Not very clean at all, poor patching in the bathroom (as you can see from the pic). OMG. Find ANYWHERE to stay in Coeur d'Alene other than here. I have never posted a review before, and am very accepting and adaptable, but this was just too much. Oh, no smoking in the room, which smelled like stale cigarette smoke. Wow. Sorry Lighthouse Motel, I seriously am, I very rarely complain, but....seriously? My husband told me not to post this, because they have his CC info and worried they will charge him extra because of the bad review, but I felt strongly about it....

Drunk people were messing around late into the night. It appeared to be the sort of motel that people live in rather than stay the night in. The person next to us had some mental health issues. He kept knocking on our door...trying to get my boyfriend to come to his room and hang out, to accuse me of hammering on the wall, to tell us our dome light was on, and again in the morning to accuse me of hammering on the wall while he tried to nap at 5pm. The poor guy may have been a war vet, an alcoholic, or both. I hope he finds the help he needs.
