The location is great! We had an awesome view of the Snake River and were just across the street from the River Walk loop. A nice walk for the dog and family. Although the Inn is an older building, it is kept clean and tidy, and our room's renovation was very nicely done, especially the roomy walk-in shower with wall jets. We were on the 2nd level and there is no elevator, which wasnt a problem for us. Breakfast was very good. Fresh muffins, biscuits n gravy. We didn't try the omelet bar. Too long of a line. Definitely will return.

The Driftwood Inn was exceptional in all ways. We loved the view and were right across the street from the falls. The area was clean and refreshing. We parked in front of our room. The pool was beautiful. The breakfast was very good with two friendly ladies preparing omelets for each of us. The room was immaculate and the gardens surrounding the hotel were beautiful.

Rip off for an outdated motel

This place was outdated, dirty and gross. Also ridiculously overpriced. If I wanted a less than average motel I would have gone somewhere for $60 a night. This place charged over $200 a night for a less than average crappy room.

A True Gem in Idaho Falls – Our Go-To Hotel! Best Western Driftwood Inn is one of our absolute favorite places to stay, hands down! Every time we visit Idaho Falls, this is the only hotel we consider. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s a welcoming home base that makes our trips extra special every time. The location is unbeatable, right along the beautiful Snake River with easy access to walking trails and all the downtown attractions. We especially loved taking advantage of the complimentary bikes, the whole family had a blast cruising along the riverfront paths. It’s such a thoughtful amenity that adds to the experience. The hotel itself is incredibly well maintained, and you can tell the owners are hands-on and genuinely care about the property and their guests. That personal touch makes a real difference. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, and the grounds are just as inviting. Breakfast each morning was fresh, satisfying, and full of options for everyone. And the warm cookies in the evening, such a nice touch that made us feel truly welcomed. We also really enjoyed the pool and hot tub, great for relaxing after a day of exploring. Whether you’re in town for business or pleasure, Best Western Driftwood Inn offers comfort, convenience, and that extra bit of charm that’s hard to find elsewhere. Can’t recommend this place enough!
