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.

The 80 room/suite Holiday Inn Express is a newly built hotel, open summer 2014, with a pleasant location on the east side of I-15, far enough from the interstate to escape the traffic noise. The position is elevated, allowing guest rooms to have sweeping views across town to the surrounding hills. The sparsely developed neighborhood is mostly residential, but with Portneuf Medical Center a short distance south, and several shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. All the usual Holiday Inn Express amenities are available, including a business center, meeting space, fitness center and swimming pool. Free hot buffet breakfast is provided.

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.

The newest hotel in Pocatello (summer 2017), and the second from the Marriott organization, is the Fairfield Inn & Suites, built beside the main I-15 exit for the city (69; Clark Street), though on the east side, away from the main built-up area, instead looking across mostly undeveloped fields and hills. In the vicinity are a gas station, several restaurants and the Portneuf Medical Center. The hotel offers 90 guest rooms, free hot breakfast, a pool, business center and fitness center.

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.

Highlight of Travelodge Pocatello is the enclosed courtyard garden with sundeck and outdoor pool, all surrounded on three sides by the two-floor accommodation blocks; half the rooms have pool views, while the remainder look out over a mixed residential/commercial neighborhood at the Yellowstone Avenue exit of I-85, close to the west edge of the city. Pine Ridge Mall is just the far side of the interstate, together with many other stores and restaurants. Guests enter the hotel through an oversized lobby with plenty of comfortable seating, and can take advantage of such amenities as a fitness center, games room, meeting space and on-site restaurant/bar.

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.

West-facing rooms at Motel 6 Pocatello have views across the outdoor pool and garden area to farmland beyond; others overlook I-86 to the south, or the mixed residential/business neighborhood in other directions. The motel has the typical design for this brand, with two floors and exterior corridors; other facilities are guest laundry and wi-fi. On the far side of the interstate is a large shopping/dining district, centered on Pine Ridge Mall.

The affordable, pet friendly Super 8 Pocatello caters for guests in a three floor building with interior corridors, occupying a slightly elevated site on the east side of I-15 (at the Pocatello Creek Road exit), within walking distance of a selection of fast food restaurants and also a streamside sports park. The city center is 2 miles south. Wi-fi is complimentary, as is the eight-item continental breakfast; laundry and a business center are the only other amenities.
