We left Missoula Montana & there was half a foot of that phony snow on the ground. You know the kind you see on TV. Fluffy, blows away. Then as we drove west, it became real. No, not more snow, but what happens to the roads with it. Slick as a tomcats tail! The Marine became quiet as he began to hold the wheel tighter. We ended up driving through the mountains around 30-35 mph. By the time we arrived at Coeur Da Lene, Idaho, we were bushed! We saw the Shilo Inn's sign & stopped. What a BLESSING! The folks couldn't have been more helpful! They found us a room, directed us to a local church & place to eat (next door) & assured us we'd be ready to resume our trip by morning! They were right! Quiet room, WONDERFUL Mattresses, great breakfast... who could ask for more? These folks went 150% when it came to trying to be helpful. They were such a blessing! Love' em! Shilo Inn's are great!

My brother and I just stayed at the Shilo. We had a very nice time. We have stayed here before. The staff is extremely friendly and will go out of their way to meet your needs. The rooms are large, with refrigerator and microwave and the beds are very comfortable. Has nice breakfast set up, exercise room and is centrally located in town. We hIghly recommend this hotel.

My daughter and I travel to Silverwood every year in August to celebrate my birthday, and we have stayed at this motel several times in the past seven years. This is the only time I am writing a review, because this is the only time I was very disappointed with this hotel.
I booked our room 3 1/2 weeks in advance of our trip on Shilo Inn's own website. I asked for early check in, and a quiet (corner) room as my preferences. We arrived on Tuesday at noon, and the older man working the customer service desk informs me that that there are no rooms ready. I ask if he's sure, because I really don't want to check in at 10:00 that night when we return from Silverwood. He consults his computer and magically finds a clean room for us to have. It is in the middle of the hallway. (So, almost no early check-in, and no quiet room. Do they even read your preferences??) Then, this man proceeds to inform me that they will charge my credit card $250 for "deep cleaning" if it smells of smoke when we check out of it. He wants me to sign a form stating such, and his tone makes me feel that they will charge me $250 regardless. I inform him that I do not smoke, and neither does my daughter. (She is 12.) I inform him he will not be charging my credit card $250 as a result. He gets annoyed with me and petulantly tells me that this is their policy, and that he is just informing me of it. I say that that is fine, but he will not be charging my credit card $250. I reluctantly sign the form, and then fully expect that a $250 charge will show up on my statement. (It doesn't, of course.)
The next morning (Wednesday 8 AM), the continental breakfast was absolutely demolished, with no cold cereals left, and everything else nearly gone. (Other hotels work hard to restock their continental breakfast as necessary, but this one was the exception.) Staff was working, but definitely not restocking, nor seeming to pay attention to the breakfast war zone.
This hotel was so disappointing this trip because I have stayed here in the past, and I know how good they can be. I made two requests over 3 1/2 weeks prior when I booked & paid, and nearly didn't get either; and the staff is definitely not what they have been in the past: friendly, helpful & attentive. We won't be staying here next summer!

I stayed here for two nights while in CDA for business. It's an acceptable hotel. I felt mostly safe in the hotel and in the parking lot. Other hotel guests made me a little uncomfortable but that doesn't have much to do with the hotel. Could use some refurbishing but if you are looking for an economical place to stay, it's ok.
