8/10 Good
"The linens were clean. The carpet needs to be replaced. The motel is old but they are making renovations. It seems to be used by a lot of workers and hunters while I was there. The restaurant wasn't very good. My friend and I had a late breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were not very good. Later in my stay I had a burger which was better than breakfast. The coffee shop wasn't gross! They didn't offer drip coffees I got a latte. It was very weak. I should have ask how many shots came in it, but I didn't. Challis is beautiful and the locals were very friendly."
