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.

It appears that they took over an hotel from the 70's that needed a lot of work. The bed was comfortable with clean sheets.

Run down, staff minimal, door didn't lock properly, outside siding crumbling off. I left after just one night. This place has been neglected for YEARS. A refund for one night would help.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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?

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.

Solo travelers use caution

I would not recommend this hotel. The room did not have any kind of lock besides the door knob. Also, the room keys were just behind the counter and the attendant was upstairs. I was traveling alone and felt very uncomfortable. Also, had to switch rooms because original room was not cleaned.

The microwave had food spills in it, the ice bucket and cup inside it looked like a soda had exploded so there were stains and drops in there splattered a bit, the bathroom mirror had spots all over it like it needed to be sprayed with cleaner. The beds were comfy and pillows were good though and the gal at the front was so nice and sweet.
