Tamarack Lodge Sun Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay."

Northgate Inn Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Good room, everything that was needed for a stay that involved work only."

Best Western Tyrolean Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"A really nice location away from the busy-ness of town, but also close enough to walk a few blocks if you didn't want the hassle of parking. There's also breakfast from 6:30-10am which is always a nice amenity."

Sacajawea Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great family and dog friendly motel less than a mile from Main Street. Very friendly and helpful staff."

Red Rock Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff and clean rooms. I was just passing through Challis, but I wish I had spent more time there and at this hotel. The hotel felt like a repurposed nursing home or rehab center, so everything was nice and it was easy to access. The room I was in felt more like home than a hotel. I had nice access to the side entrance. I hope to travel to the Northwest US again, and I hope to spend more time in Challis at this hotel."

Stagecoach Inn

8/10 Good

"the scenery was beautiful"

Hotel Ketchum

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night so we didn’t really get to experience everything that was offered. Our room was clean and comfortable. The location was great for walking into town. We had both dinner and breakfast at the hotel restaurant and it was just okay. The staff was very friendly though."
