The room was not very good. I did stay with my dog (she is medium sized and weighs under #30. Doesn't bark, potty trained & very well mannered) and so I believe the room I was given was probably the "dog room." I can understand the reasoning but even my dog was not happy either. The carpet for sure was disgusting. Also, it took forever to get so-so hot water.

The staff were very nice. However, the heater was very unsafe. We smelt gas very strongly most of the day. We had to light the pilot light on the heater multiple times even through the night. The heater was very very old and not in suitable condition for this type of environment. Beds were comfortable and clean linen was very clean. Facility overall fairly older, but it was convenient for our stay.

The only good thing to say about the room is it had a decent tv with good selection of channels. Other than that the place is really old and lacking. Floor is so squeaky that you wonder if you will fall through.

Like: Shower had great water pressure. Staff very friendly. (very nice & helpful with information when checking in). Dislike: Room very dark due to dark paneling and poor lighting. Sink had no stopper. Shower spicket was very loose. Wore slippers due to questionable carpet cleanliness. No dead bolt on door. Window covering needed a curtain to keep out light. (Overall - the place was very dated - needed an update).

It’s not the ritz, it’s better. What it lacks in Francine’s, it makes up by being clean, affordable and quaint. However the best part is the crew. Amazing friendly customer service. I cannot praise them enough. The restaurant on the property is pretty decent too. This one is it for me, I will never stay at another place when in the area.

This property is not the Hilton, so if that is what you are used to, then probably not your place. If you are a small town person that loves the small feel then you will love it. The owners are amazing. Will definitely cone back and stay again.

I've stayed at budget friendly hotels/motels before, but there are standards for presentation. Stayed when temps were in the mid 90's. They have a window ac unit. Walked in the room. Ac fins were coated with about 1/4 inch of dust/dirt. Turned unit on and smelled like pee and didnt work for 2hours, then not at all (probably due to the dust). Window blinds were not private you could see from the outside in. Managed to use 3x bath towels to hang as a curtain for privacy. (For a good reason, some random dude kept smoking right outside our window for some weird reason). Toliet was broke, keep running water all night. Tried to fix. Plunger/Flap defective, needs replaced. All in all understandable for a low budget hotel.(Not really). But not at the price of $100 a night. Should be more like $75

Great spot for an overnight and recharge before heading back out to the woods. The room was good overall, the rug probably needs to be changed. The staff were great and accommodating, I really thought that their friendliness is the greatest asset for the property.

I stay here every year and I like the rustic look and feel. The rooms are always clean and the restaurant makes some really good food. People don't come to a small town in the middle of nowhere to sleep in a Hilton hotel. They come to embrace the culture and feel.

I found the staff quite friendly and my room was very quiet. Bed was decently supportive. Bathroom shower had no handles on the sliding glass doors nor an anti slip mat in the old tub.The toilet very old style and only 12-14 inches tall…not ADA compliant. The tv had 2 remotes which was confusing to use. The room was very clean and the towels fresh Overall, I would call the facility vintage 50’s or sixties.. I would stay again knowing that now, because it was so clean despite the age and the price was right.

I cannot believe this motel shows a rating of 8/10. My family gives it a 2! Stating the desk is 24/7 is incorrect. Looks like the staff live next door and put a sign on the door when they're not there. Stating premium bedding is a lie. Sheets were paper thin and the pillows weren't even an inch thick! There were ants all over the doorstep from dropped lunch meat. It was so dried up that it was clear it'd been there a while. Housekeeping went through my bag. When I left for the day my bag was closed, came back and it was open with clothes pushed to the side. When I went down to let the front desk know, I realized they were not 24/7 service and had a paper note in the door. Thankfully nothing appears to be missing, but I cannot believe the disrespect!

Great older motel VERY!! Clean room and bathroom. I was completely satisfied with the cleanliness! The TV was small but adequate 22” maybe. We had a microwave stove top refrigerator and dishes enough to make dinner in our room. If you’re staying in Challis I would recommend this property. Pet friendly as well 🐕

This was clean for the most part, but dated. Carpet was grass green color and bedspread was flowery old. We stayed in a basic king room which was roomy. The property was quiet. The shade left enough gap at the edge to see in from the outside. A new faucet on the sink would be a huge improvement. Bed was ok, pillows are flat (which I like). Cooler worked well as did the fridge. Decent size TV. Restaurant on site is a plus. For the price, it worked for us in the location we were at that time, as we just drive til we feel ready to stop.
