Top Challis Hotel Reviews

Stagecoach Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We've stayed there before and we like it and it's convenient to town to walk since we are always with our truck and trailer for work. Every time we've been there they offer omelette service for breakfast but there is no one to make them. I had to make one once not knowing it wasn't serve your self. Other than that it's a nice hotel."

The Village Inn Motel and Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Really appreciate this hotel. Staff were helpful, room clean and new ac unit in room."

Hotel Ketchum

10/10 Excellent

"Short stay but we were very pleased with the accommodations, loved the location and proximity to downtown, would stay again"

Tamarack Lodge Sun Valley

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super friendly and helped us find the best spots in town. The hot tub was really nice. The pool was cold though, for being an indoor pool we were expecting warmer temperatures, other than that everything was great. We could totally go back and stayed there again"

Best Western Tyrolean Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is an old hotel but it suited our needs just fine. Very convenient to town and to hiking trails. Not fancy but worked."

Smiley Creek Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Modern amenities in the middle of the forest. It is a fantastic getaway from the busy city life. The room is clean. The kitchen is modest and modern. There are two heat sources so a vacation in the winter should be no problem."
