Great hotel. Weak water pressure though. My wife couldn't wash her hair. They said they'd correct it but never did. Comfortable beds. Perfect downtown location. Easy parking.
Super quaint hotel right in downtown. You can walk everywhere! We had a room on the street side and never heard any noise. Super quiet. The staff is welcoming, serving cookies in the evening and a treat in the morning. The reception staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Fresh coffee and tea also in lobby. There is a great sitting area with fireplace to enjoy a glass of wine. November is a quiet time to enjoy the shops, local restaurants, and the hotel. We had no wait time anywhere. If you want to step back in time (just a little bit) this was the place to go!
Went here for my birthday. Hubby suprised me! I wish it was facing the lake but other than that they had a cute balcony we could hang out on and I loved that. Bed was comfy, jetted tub was nice and they gave us a complimentary bottle of champagne which was so nice! The hotel Staff was super friendly and gave us free drinks to the bar inside the restaurant.
Our favorite hotel in McCall,Idaho. Walking distance to almost everything you need, restaurants, grocery stores, cafes , bars and souvenirs shops. The hotel is historic and cute.
The location, staff, cleanliness, and comfort at Hotel McCall is the very best!! I arrived very early to McCall and needed to work, which I was able to do from the Rupert Restaurant on site. The restaurant was closed for eating (as they are for dinner only), but open for sitting and enjoying a front row seat of the harbor. It was quiet and everything I needed for the time. Front Desk staff was able to get my into my room early (so very grateful, thank you!!!). My room was extremely spacious, very clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the harbor. Located at the corner turn in downtown McCall, so convenient for parking and walking to everywhere I needed to be. The Brunchette on the Lake restaurant kitty corner to Hotel McCall is AMAZING for breakfast and for amazing morning views! Hometown Pizza & Pub is outstanding for an easy, family evening on the patio!! Really spectacular pizza! The location is very quiet at night and I rest well! Check-out in the morning was easy and pleasant with the amazing staff. I will DEFINITELY be back and look forward to it!
Small room. Some oddities. But, nicely decorated & right near the lake. We passed on the places at $100 for this at $140. We would stay here again.
Very helpful and friendly older rooms but were nice no refrigerator in room but all good
We absolutely loved spending our anniversary weekend here! Hotel McCall is perfectly situated next to the lake and just a few steps from great food, bars and shops. It was so perfect to be able to just step outside and be just a few feet from the lake. The hotel amenities are quaint and lovely — it’s clean, nicely decorated, cute coffee and tea station in the lobby, yummy cookies at 9:00 p.m. Our room was nice — the place is very well maintained — and oh my goodness I wish I had a bathtub like that at home! It was so long and had great jets! The room also had nice, heavy doors, so it was very quiet. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with recommendations. Shout-out to Dana and Claire! Thank you for helping make our weekend so delightful! We spent most of our weekend at the lake, hot springs less than half an hour away, and Ponderosa State Park just 1.5 miles from the hotel. We’re already planning our next visit!
Across the street from Payette Lake, this low-key hotel dating from 1904 is 9.9 miles from the ski slopes of Brundage Mountain Resort and 9 miles from the Jug Mountain Ranch golf course.
