Top Challis Hotel Reviews

The Village Inn Motel and Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Clean and mostly quiet. It is older so floorboards squeak. It is quintessential roadside motel straight out the 80s - we actually loved it. The restaurant on site had good food and was nice to be able to just walk over to it."

Sun Valley Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Y"

Red Rock Lodge

8/10 Good

"Property used to be an old folks home?"

River's Fork Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a beautiful spot, close to my reason for the visit and super clean and comfortable."

Knob Hill Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the most enjoyable stay we had. The hotel was located at the edge of the town, and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The hotel has great amenities, free parking, hot tubs, and cook breakfast. Our room and bathroom were spacious and clean, our bed and sofa were comfortable. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. We will love to come back and stay again!"

Best Western Tyrolean Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The properties a little bit older, but the rooms are newer and clean. It’s very cozy and friendly and I would definitely go back here… I didn’t get a chance to use the pool, but it looked really nice and there’s a hot tub as well. I came for a summer wedding rather than a ski vacation, which is what it’s designed for but the pool was the main draw for me. Breakfast was quite good and everything is set up for your comfort."

Stagecoach Inn

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was mediocre at best. Bisquits and gravy, or oatmeal were only hot choices. 2nd night on this trip bathroom lacked shampoo and conditioner. Riverside is the only side to be. Very hospitable to raft trip meetings."

Americas Best Value Inn Salmon

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly, clean, convenient location"

Northgate Inn Motel

8/10 Good

"Booked a ground floor online . Last one available, but is was not available after waiting in lobby for 15-20 minutes. So they refunded $10 so everything was good"
