We were awaking by 2 people shouting and slamming doors from midnight and went on until after 330 am right next door to us. I got up to ask them to please be considerate, one if them told me the other was drunk and would be leaving. After more shouting abd slamming around they finally shut up. In the morning i observed them getting in a commercial vehicle. The facility is nice and clean but having no one to taje care of an all night disturbance was a little rough

Challis Roadhouse Disappointment
Highly suggest taking this Motel off your list of options. There was on signage where to check in. Went to the adjoining restaurant to check in. The Bartender Kris, was great. He was probably the only good thing about this Challis Roadhouse. We were with another couple. The food we ordered from Kris was good and he was very attentive to the 4 of us. The rooms were just ok. Very old and smelly. Water pressure in shower was minimal. We went back to the restaurant for dinner the next day. That had a band, therefore they were charging a $5 cover charge. Not a big deal. We found a table sat down and was there for a good 10 minutes. There was a waitress that was going to all tables around us, but didn’t stop. Was it because we weren’t locals? Who knows. One of us went and ordered our drinks at the bar. Finally, the one waitress stopped to ask if we needed food… if so they were sold out of everything but hamburgers, hot wings and chicken strips. She said she would come back but didn’t. Kris walked by, and we told him we just wanted 4 burgers, make it easy for them. Ordered another round of beers and they came in Red Solos cups. WTH! Fine, whatever. The owners were there partying it up with friends and locals and were Bustling a few tables, my husband and one of our friends got up to help them. Not a thank you, nothing. We got our food. 2 of the burgers were burnt, and all of our fries were oil soaked. We left. About 30 minutes later the owner was on the side, motel side peeing.

It was a Friday night with lots of local events, music, a busy bar, and friendly people. However, the motel room needed attention. No wifi, the TV did not work, the light over the bed was burned out, and the sink dirty. The hotel manager was overwhelmed running the bar, and we didn't complain or worry too much. But it wasn't a well maintained facility.

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.
