What guests think

Travellers consistently praise Flamingo Motel for its walkable downtown location near the lake and shops, classic pull-up parking right at the door, and generally clean, comfortable rooms that provide a convenient, no-frills base for exploring Coeur d'Alene.

Many enjoy the vintage, themed decor, with some rooms spacious and thoughtfully appointed with extras like recliners, fridges, and microwaves. Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, with smooth touchless or phone-assisted check-in noted. Downsides include the dated feel, occasional musty or pet odors and worn or wet carpets, plus isolated issues like light-leaking blinds, outside noise, or spotty Wi‑Fi. Expect a central, retro-style motor court offering straightforward comfort.

Location was perfect and staff was wonderful! Having an assigned spot right in front of our room was great for unloading/loading. It was also nice for the pups too, no stairs to go up/down and grassy areas just outside of the property.

Really can’t ask for a better location. It’s right on the edge of the main downtown area and minutes walk to the water front. I especially like the parking set up- right outside your door. It’s got old school Route 66 charm and though not full of the usual amenities it’s a great place to call it a night after spending all day visiting the area.

Great location to downtown area. Easily walked to shops, restaurants, coffee and bakery. Room was comfortable, clean and well-appointed. Loved that we were able to back right up to our room for easy and convenient loading and unloading. Our room had two comfortable recliners which was appreciated.

Old School motor court - pull up to your hotel room door style. If it is all about location then Flamingo is the perfect spot, less than 10 minutes walking to all of downtown CD’A. Motel is dated, tattered, and old, but has charm for the area. Room was clean and stocked with all the necessities for a short 2 night stay. Nothing special, but was our best option for our visit to CD’A.

I am a single mom with 5 children so i always get the cheapest room I can find when we go on trips. The Flamingo Motel was much more affordable for me than any other place in the area. The motel is outdated which is fine by me, it had the basics like a fridge and microwave. The wi-fi worked great. It was clean. Whomever i spoke with on the ohone during check in said something about a heater not working right? But had an alternitive in place if needed. I am really happy with our stay. It was affordable and it fit my whole family! The only thing i have to complain about was that the carpet was wet in many places, like soak your sock wet. Which was weird, and kinda gross.

Stayed here for one night with 2 teenagers. The room was very spacious. It was divided into two bedrooms, one with two queen beds and another with one. Each of the rooms had air conditioning. They also gave complementary water bottles, chocolate and coffee. It’s a no frills place but in a great location and convenient

We really enjoyed staying at the Flamingo Motel. It's so conveniently located, a short walk to all the restaurants in town. The room was the Victorian and very comfortable. Everything we needed for a 2-night stay. We did have to ask about how to operate the electronic locks and hair dryer, but the guy could not have been nicer. Highly recommend.

It's an older property, but walkable to downtown shops and restaurants. Our one night stay was overall comfortable, but the window blind did not block any light, so we did not get a good night's sleep.
