4/10 Fair

Hotel unorganized and in terrible condition
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The manager was very nice and accommodating.

2/10 Poor

Nobody at the front desk. Could not check in
Sam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Older hotel in need of an update and more staff

Arrived after 7 pm and the room was not ready. It was apparently due to lack of staff and the hotel being slammed the night before. The hotel is dated and in serious need of an update/ remodel. The A/C unit worked poorly and it took over 5 hours to cool down the room. The staff, especially the manager, Lisa, were very friendly and apologetic for the room delay.

8/10 Very good

For the price the hotel was good
thomas, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Overbooked and turned away with nowhere to stay

Arrived and the front desk woman states that I have no reservation and that the previous owners have been overbooking the hotel for 6+ months. I was turned away with absolutely no help and no where to stay in such a small town. The woman appeared scared and untrained. Hotels.com called the property and no one was able to give them any information on the billing and if I would be charged or refunded. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Good place to stay in Challis

A new manager had just taken over and was just getting oriented so things were proceeding slowly. I'm certain things will improve.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Minimalistic

Rented a king, was given a queen, all that was available. No soaps of any kind. No hand towels. Curtains were torn. Antique AC, could not regulate temp. All in all, not very inviting, cold. Needs help.

Broken down vehicle in lot. Air conditioning not working well. Whole facility needs updating with water stains on ceiling, peeling paint on outside of building. Shower curtain looks like it's 10yrs old with stains. Staff was nice.

Great spot! Clean, comfortable room and bed. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
Kelly, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is an older motel. Room was nice. We stayed there when it was pretty cold, and the heater did a great job of warming the room but was very loud. The mattresses on the beds are quite old. Not very comfortable. Everything was clean. An OK place to stay for a night, but keep expectations on the lower side.

Would not recommend

The reason I’m giving this a 2-stars is because of the service I received the day I arrived from Brynn. She was at the front desk and super helpful when our room had issues. She deserves a raise because of all she was doing with a smile on her face. You would think that ownership and management would make sure this motel was prepared for an influx of people by checking rooms and making sure they had people working. It appears they were not prepared. Upon arrival, check in was fine but once we got to our room there were issues. There was no TV, no trash can, only 2 bath towels, and our door wouldn’t shut without absolutely slamming it. The items that were missing were eventually brought to us after a few times of asking. The curtains have holes in the back of them and you can only open them by taking one of the pleat hooks off (see picture). There are only outlets on one side both of the bed so only 1 lamp nearby and no other place to plug in a phone to charge. The bathroom had multiple stains on the ceiling tiles and tons of places you could tell had been patched. On the first night, we discovered after slamming our door shut that we couldn’t even lock the deadbolt for the night. So we had to put a chair under the doorknob to provide a little bit of extra comfort/safety. Another night we arrived back at our hotel and had issues getting our door open. I went to the front desk and no one was there to assist even after using a call bell.

It was unfortunate, but apparently 2 housekeepers walked out the day before our stay. We came to check in at check-in time, told no rooms we ready and to come back in 2 hours. We did, needed to wait 20 more minutes. Had to come back and forth to the room 3 times before I got the right key to get into the room. Knob did lock, deadbolt was broken. Really run down place. Our room had basic cleanliness. Ice maker in the lobby was the best ever. Ground level window in our room with a huge crack, curtains full of holes. There was never a person at the desk, you had to call a listed personal cell to check in, ask a question, etc. Community kitchen area with fresh coffee 1st morning, 2nd morning nothing. Microwave in communal kitchen area gross. The manager apparently just took over and was handed a mess on a busy travel weekend. Where was the owner? How could they just leave her there to deal with a sold out motel with all rooms booked and staff who walked out?

My friend and I LOVED this place..it was clean and quiet and comfortable..the staff was great..we plan to meet there again next spring 🎯❤️
Gracene, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

I had locked my door to leave. When I came back my door was unlocked and some of my property was moved around in the room. They claimed it was their room service maids but the bed was still not made and all the pillows/sheets/blankets were exactly how I left them. They also put me in a room with a smaller bed and less accommodations than I had payed for and offered no refund for the original price. I ended up paying the price for a king size bed room when instead they had moved my pregnant wife, my dog, and I into a twin size bedroom. They also offered no proper body wash or shampoo for the showers. The shower drain was plugged and the tub kept holding water even without the drain plug in. The towels we received were also dirty and one of them had old human feces on them from someone wiping their ass with. The bathroom fan did not work either. The kitchenette that they had there was extremely dirty with old nasty dishes and food still in them that were clearly a few days old. I 100% do not recommend this place.

Great place to stay

I really like non-major chain hotels. They tend to be cleaner and more inviting. The place is old but kept up and clean corner to corner. I will highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again!
