Fodor's Expert Review The Roosevelt Inn

The friendly and talkative owners of this historic brick building—the former Roosevelt School—have brought Southern hospitality to northern Idaho. With three stories plus a bell tower (now housing a luxurious suite with great views), the inn features a hot tub, sauna, and lovely lawned gardens. Rooms have plush beds, some with canopies, and chocolate-on-the-pillow types of extra touches. Superb breakfasts, served until 10, feature recipes specially crafted for the inn by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey, a former guest here.
