8/10 Very good

Parking right in front of the door made it easy to unload the suitcase. The room was very clean but a bit dated. Everything was great but the mattress was soft and every time we moved it made noise and bounced us around.

10/10 Exceptional

I basically just needed a place to shower and sleep for the night, but the gentleman that helped me out - I believe his name is Don - turned it into a pleasant night. He was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The breakfast place he recommended was also very good!!!

Oregon Trail Inn Excellence!

We stayed at the Oregon Trail Inn on a recommendation from family that lives in Buhl. This is not a new facility but the attention to detail, great customer service, and immaculate clean room was a ten star. It was such a comfortable home base. The owner and staff are so friendly and go out of their way to ensure a pleasant stay. Very highly recommended!

Well-maintained traditional motel. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean and comfortable. Loved the convenient parking! We would definitely stay here again! Wi-Fi was a bit slow, but adequate. A/C was outstanding. Shower head was great for a tall person.

Great motel.

Beautiful motel. The room was huge and clean. No street noise at all. There were many food trucks within walking distance. The owners were so friendly. Would definitely return if we were in the area.

Charming and Quaint Inn

If you need a place to stay anywhere in the Twin Falls or Buhl area, go out of your way to stay here. Todd and Sidney treated us (and our dogs!) like family. Our large room was super clean, quiet and comfortable, and we enjoyed chatting with our hosts over coffee in the office the next morning. Overall a wonderful experience.
Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very satisfied.

This is an older style motel but it is clean and nicely appointed with an updated bathroom, beautiful white thick towels. The beds are comfortable with soft linen. The owner/managers are friendly, accomodating, and answered my questions before arriving in a timely manner. Breakfast consists of ‘take away’ items including juice, yoghurts, biscuits, snack packs, fruit cups, etc with coffee and hot chocolate available at all times that reception is open. The location, although on a main thoroughfare, was quiet and safe. Our stay was three nights, and the location was perfect for the places that we wanted to visit.

2/10 Poor

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. My stay at the Oregon Trail Inn in Buhl, Idaho (Nov 2–4, 2025) was hands-down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with a motel. I booked through Hotels.com and paid over $200 for two nights — which is outrageous for what this place is, but I had doctor appointments in Buhl and needed somewhere to stay. After booking, I noticed check-in closed at 10 p.m., so I called and spoke with the owner, Todd, to arrange a 10:30 p.m. arrival. He agreed. About 20 minutes later, he actually called me back, demanding to know where I lived. When I told him, he said — and I quote — “Good, because your card is attached to a local ZIP code and I DON’T RENT TO LOCALS!” That was my first clue this guy has no business running a motel. When I checked in, I told him my friend who dropped me off might or might not stay. Nothing was said. But around 1 A.M., Todd actually called my room and told me my friend had to leave immediately because the company truck outside had local plates. He was clearly watching the parking lot and keeping tabs on guests — creepy, intrusive, and completely unprofessional. I’ve stayed at plenty of motels, and this was by far the most uncomfortable, disrespectful experience I’ve ever had. The owner’s “no locals” policy is not only absurd, it’s insulting to the entire Magic Valley community. We’re a small, tight-knit area that supports our citizens and our local businesses. Todd’s attitude and behavior are not acceptable.
Angela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was our 2nd time staying there. We brought family with us that also stayed at the motel. The staff has always been super helpful with areas to go see, places to eat, pet friendly and a good nights rest as well.
