10 Best Silverwood Area Hotels and Resorts

One of the newest hotels in town, the Hampton Inn & Suites Coeur d'Alene is located in a commercial development called Riverstone. Surrounded by restaurants, shops, a playground, and a movie theater, it"s a great location if the only driving you want to do is the 20 minutes it takes to drive from Silverwood. Parents will love that they can walk across the parking lot to Starbucks, while kids will enjoy the children"s playground next to the hotel. The Regal Cinema at Riverstone means your family can relax at night with a first-run movie on a huge screen, with stadium-style seating. Silverwood closes at 7 p.m. each night, so there"s plenty of time to catch a film. Each room at the Hampton Inn offers free Wi-Fi, a 32-inch LCD television, microwave, coffeemaker and refrigerator. Plus, every guest gets a free hot breakfast. In addition to its great location near all the shops and restaurants, the hotel also sits next to the Centennial Trail, which runs along the Spokane River and Lake Coeur d"Alene for 24 miles, making it a great place for an early morning walk, run or bike ride.

Another new hotel just 20 minutes from Silverwood Theme Park, SpringHill Suites Coeur d"Alene is a luxurious, but affordable place to stay.

Plus, there"s an indoor pool and outdoor splash pad (just in case your kids didn"t get enough play time at Silverwood"s water park). Best of all, SpringHill Suites has some of the most comfortable beds we have ever experienced. Just around the corner from the Riverstone area, with its variety of shops and restaurants, you"re close to family-friendly meals at Red Robin, Bardenay, The Ugly Fish and Azteca.

For the ultimate stay, book a room at The Coeur d"Alene Resort on the shores of beautiful Lake Coeur d"Alene. The Resort is an upscale four-star hotel, so will be more expensive than most, but you"ll get what you pay for: breathtaking lake and mountain views, free Wi-Fi, cotton robes, luxury toiletries, in-room coffee and a refrigerator. Plus, there"s an award-winning spa and golf course. Did we mention the world"s longest floating boardwalk is right outside the hotel? The Coeur d"Alene Resort is certainly the most luxurious accommodation to return to after a busy day at Silverwood. If you"re not too tired to enjoy it, it really does offer the best view in town. The resort"s downtown location, just 20 minutes from Silverwood, is ideal for exploring the city of Coeur d"Alene if you have some extra time.

For a unique stay just minutes from Silverwood, Cedar Mountain Farm B&B is about as close as you can get to the park without camping.

They have three different family-friendly rooms from which to choose, some featuring bunk beds or trundle beds. A fresh farm-style breakfast is included, of course, but the kitchen and outside BBQ are available if you want to prepare dinner for yourselves. The owners encourage you to roam the property, exploring the meadows and woodlands, visiting the farm animals, or checking out the numerous hiking and biking trails in the area.

For something a little closer to Silverwood, check out the Bayview Marina's and Resort in the nearby town of Bayview. Just 10 minutes from the park, the Resort offers a variety of accommodations.

You"ll find great savings if you have a big family, especially with one of their hillside cabins. It"s a unique place to stay, but it also puts you closer to Silverwood than any other hotel in the area. With rooms that have kitchenettes with microwaves, stoves and refrigerators, you"ll find additional savings by preparing your own meals. There are groceries, laundry, and restaurants all within walking distance of the resort, so you don"t have to worry about traveling any further than Silverwood"s own backyard.

You"ll also find family-friendly suites with bunk beds, lofts, and adjoining rooms, including free hot breakfast, a microwave, refrigerator, free Wi-Fi, outdoor pool and hot tubs.

Formerly a Holiday Inn Express, this hotel -- just 20 minutes from Silverwood -- is perfect for families who want to continue playing after the park has closed for the day.

Rooms are extremely family-friendly, with bunk beds and two-room suites available. There are all the usual amenities, including Wi-Fi, microwaves, refrigerators and free hot breakfast, but the big selling point is that family fun center.
