Just sleep in your car

Checked out 2 days early without hopes of a refund. I'd rather have slept in my car. I was in town for a race, this was the only place available. No idea how they are getting good reviews. And they should be ashamed they charge so much!. This is not a place you want to stay. It's dirty, dingy... just gross! The bedding and towels smelled DISGUSTING! Removed the comforter and slept in my clothes because I didn't feel clean. This might be one of the worst hotel stays I can recall. One plus - they have A/C.

This stay was a quick overnight business trip. The lady at the front desk is an angel. So happy that you booked a stay with them. There is a restaurant attached to the property that makes dining very easy. The room is tidy and the bed is comfortable. I have stayed here a couple of times before and will definitely stay there again!!

Big security issue

My wife and I were deep in sleep just before 1:00 am in Village Inn room 45 when she woke up and screamed because a man was coming into our room. I woke to her screaming, bright light from outdoors streaming in and a man muttering words as he walked into our room. We were utterly terrified and confused. Some people in that situation would take action first and ask questions later. After I met him at the door, he showed me his copy of the room key to room 45, and then I showed him my exact same copy of our room key. Only then did he slowly back away. We later were told that "someone made a mistake" in giving him a key to our occupied room. We were never offered any further explanation. But the bigger mistake is that this hotel room, and apparently all of them on the property, HAVE NO WAY TO LOCK THE ROOM FROM THE INSIDE. Nothing but a flimsy privacy door knob. That is egregious and totally unacceptable. This was a deeply disturbing episode for us, but it could have been deadly tragic. Mini-fridges and comfy pillows are superfluous if you can't feel safe, and this hotel as appointed is not safe. I would NEVER stay here again and anyone who chooses to until appropriate changes are made is playing Russian roulette.
No way to secure the room from the inside.
Our attempt to secure the room post-incident.

It was good

Everyone was friendly, you are walking distance to town for dining and bars. There is a restaurant on property. Staying in Challis you are in the middle of adventure. The hotel was clean and offered enough room in the room to perform morning yoga.
