Older motel but the bed was comfortable the water was hot the pressure was great. Chris at check-in was very friendly. TV didn’t work properly but Chris tried to fix it. It was late so it ended up being ok to not have television. We appreciate the pet friendly aspect. The bar/restaurant was lovely. The remodel is beautiful.

Challis, ID doesn't have many choices when it comes to hotels/motels.The Roadhouse Inn has rooms on the same level as other local properties. I wanted to love it...but i dont. The sheets need to be updated; same for the towels and pillows. Id bring my own and sleep in my own sleeping bag. With that said. The staff is amaizing. They wanted to be sure we were comfortable. BIg smiles and very accomodating.

rooms need updating linensvery worn, light bulbs burned out, maintenance is much needed. TV and WIFI not working no one would come and help to busy with bar in restaurant. I guess too short of help to cover bases. Promised to help after three calls be there in minute but never showed. We have stayed here three times over the years but will not be back. New remodel on bar and restaurant very nice.

I didnt like that there was someone in my room after i already checked in. Went fishing came back and there was a guy sitting on the bed. Apparently they gave him the wrong key.

The shower curtain was filthy. The sink had hair in it. The corner of the bathroom has a cobweb and a spider in it. The air conditioner worked great!!! It was nice to be able to sit outside and take the table and chairs out. The new restaurant was nice. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

Dead bolt does not work to lock the door. We can feel the cold air coming through the door. It’s really run down with no smoke detector. A new restaurant associated and run with this motel next door but can’t up keep the part where people sleep?! Spider webs and bugs on floor thankfully no bed bugs seen yet I did look.

This property is rebuilding its office and restaurant/bar after a fire. Apparently their phone was missing which caused me a bit of a snafu upon realizing in fine print that checkin was limited to 4-9 and I was 1 1/2 hours away eating. I was not able to raise them at the given phone number but Expedia eventually was and the bartender (makeshift converted room) stayed late at 10:15 to check me in (appreciated). This is a rustic older property recovering from calamity at an inexpensive price. Room was dated and worn, seemed to be grit (sand and ????) on the sheet under the bed spread, 6 dead moths on floor in bathroom but no bugs otherwise. Comfortable enough, except for firm tall foam pillows, for a quick night’s sleep. I would not stay again under current conditions, but they are a mom & pop place going through a mptough time.

I really can't leave any kind of review being i traveled 500 miles and missed their 10:00 check in. I had to find lodging elsewhere.

This was the worst place possible. The bed springs were old and dirty and broken. The mattress was so soft there was absolutely no support. I was supposed to stay two nights but didn’t get any sleep the first night so I left.

Great stay for a cheaper motorcycle trip. Like being able to park right outside my rood. Property is older and worn, but clean. Owners are making an obvious effort to update. New restaurant and bar is being built to replace what was lost in recent fire. Check-in was at the current small bar adjacent to the rooms. Bartender was very efficient and personal. She’s a good advocate for the community. Would stay again.

Pictures online are misleasing.
A/C Unit was from the 70's and barely worked.
Literally a trash dump outside my bathroom window.
Beds were wobbly.
Window blinds had several holes/tears so privacy was at a minimum.
1.0
Blinds were broken and did not cover whole window, rugs badly worn, walls in bad shape(scratches all over, marked up), bathroom walls badly caulked, toilet seat about 150 yrs old, entire place needs a MAJOR workover. Pizza place has no pizza, bar only.

Check in was in the bar and we were checked in by the bartender who wrote our credit card number on the back of our check in information "for accidental damages". Room smelled of smoke. Fixed the toilet myself as it would not flush (chain was rusted off so I used a pair of pliers to temporarily fix the problem). Carpet was filthy and sticky. A bat flew into the room as we were loading up the car to leave....yes a bat. Informed the lady in the bar about the bat as we checked out so that we would not be charged "for accidental damages" from the bat.

Easy access, comfortable beds, pet friendly. Air conditioning and bathroom lights didn’t work!

Miserable experience. Room 14 air conditioner was not putting out cold air. You check in at the bar. After taking forever to check in because the bar/restaurant was super busy and having to go back and then call because of incorrect wifi login, we were pretty frustrated. We didnt notice the problem with the air conditioner until after showering so at that point decided to stick it out. They would have been too busy to deal with our issue. Opened windows which didn't really help until middle of the night. This is a happening place which is great but got annoying when we went to bed. Beds were comfy and place was clean.

The room was comfy and AC worked great. Not so great was the WiFi and TV. WiFi didn't work most of the time, but we were told that's how it is in Challis. TV had lots of channels, but most didn't work. With the weather so hot during our stay it would have been nice to relax with a movie or something other than Sponge Bob! (The staff, especially Kris, did their best to accommodate our wishes as far as internet and TV).Drinks and food were good. Burgers for supper one night were very tasty. Very friendly staff. Visiting Challis was an adventure!

The young man who worked in the bar AND got us checked in was very nice, accommodating, and helpful. There was also a large park-like yard between the roadhouse and the highway with picnic tables and trees where we could walk our dog.

Pros: towels were newer and clean, staff in the bar were friendly, air conditioner worked but was very loud
Cons: room smelled of smoke and wet dog covered by air freshener, carpet was very disgusting, bed was uncomfortable
There were not many choices available in Challis. I will not stay here again if I'm back in the area. My husband and I were not comfortable here in regards to the room or the general environment.

This is a small town not many places to chose from. The room was clean and the bed was awesome. You had to go to the bar to check in. The Wfi didn’t work even after I got help to get connected. The room was very out dated. The shower you couldn’t get the water regulated it was ether cold or hot. They had a very small tv that was a 10” on the wall and we ended not watching it because it was to small to see anything. They really could up grade there tv to at lest a 32” they don’t cost much these days. If you are in a pinch and need a place to stay for one day it is fine. If not keep going until you find a better place
