Pocatello Hotels

Like most hotels in Pocatello, the Clarion is situated beside interstate 15 - at exit 71 in a small commercial area with restaurants and gas stations, 2 miles north of the town center. The two floor, 196 room/suite building is of older construction, with most rooms entered by exterior corridors, but the place has been well maintained and the hotel offers full service facilities including a restaurant (open all day), and a lounge/bar. The property is centered on an atrium lobby and a large indoor pool complete with waterfall; its other main facilities are a whirlpool, sauna, fitness center, business center and 8,400 sq ft of meeting/event space.

Hampton Inn & Suites Pocatello receives favorable reviews for its quiet location, the friendly staff, the spacious, well equipped accommodations and the above average free continental breakfast. The hotel is new (open late 2008) and has a slightly elevated location so that most rooms have long distance views over the city towards distant mountains. There are a few restaurants nearby and Portneuf Medical Center is just across the road though the neighborhood is quite lightly developed - the hotel is situated on the southeast edge of town, reached from I-15 exit 69 (Center Street). Amenities include an indoor pool & whirlpool, fitness center with machines & free weights, a 24 hour business center and a 50 person meeting room.

Marriott is represented in Pocatello by the recently built TownePlace Suites, which accommodates guests in 93 modern, spacious suites with studio, one bed or two bed layouts, all featuring a full kitchen, executive desk, free wi-fi and separate areas for sleeping & living. The hotel has a quiet setting beside a residential area 0.3 miles east of interstate 15 (exit 69), near Portneuf Medical Center and 1.5 miles from downtown Pocatello. Free continental breakfast is provided, there is one restaurant adjacent (Ruby Tuesday's), and the TownePlace Suites also has all the usual facilities for leisure, meetings and business.

Pocatello's Best Western is one of a group of hotels on the east side of I-15 exit 71, at the edge of a residential area though a short walk from restaurants and other businesses. Nearby locations include Highland Golf Course (1 mile), Holt Arena (1.5 miles) and Idaho State University (2 miles). Free hot breakfast is prepared each morning, while dinner & drinks are available from the on-site CottonClub Lounge. The hotel occupies a large site, with 149 rooms in several interconnected blocks, and also has a 24 hour pool/hot tub, a business center and extensive meeting space. A free shuttle is provided to Pocatello Airport, 9 miles west along I-86.

Comfort Inn Pocatello is easily reached from exit 71 of I-15 - the property sits right beside the interstate, part of a busy neighborhood of restaurants, gas stations and other hotels, 2 miles from the city center. The place is quite small, with two floors and 52 rooms, including suites that offer extra space and amenities such as a microwave, refrigerator and sofa bed. Rates are quite low but the staff are efficient, the rooms clean and the hotel has a decent range of facilities - free deluxe continental breakfast, an indoor pool, hot tub, newsstand, guest-use computer and free wi-fi. Pets are welcome, for a fee.

One of few hotels in the center of Pocatello, the Rodeway Inn offers 54 refrigerator/microwave-equipped rooms, free continental breakfast, guest laundry, a newsstand and basic business services. The inn has exterior corridors and plenty of free parking, and is located along 5th Avenue, at the edge of the Idaho State University campus, 1.8 miles from exits 67 or 69 of interstate 15. There are many restaurants a short walk away along the main road.
