An absolutely amazing and beautiful area to visit. The hotel staff really takes care of you. We had an issue with the shower head, and they were right on it and had it fixed in no time. Wonderful place to stay.

Anyone who has any complaints about Elk City or the Elk City hotel simply does not belong in small Rocky Mountain towns. The hotel is great for adventurous travelers, hunters, and those who can appreciate the charms of small towns like Elk City. The people are friendly and the rooms, though nostalgic, are very comfortable. We just stayed over a week and felt very much at home. There’s a good grocery store across the street and you’re a short walk from the local Saloon. We can’t wait to comeback.

Rooms were spacious just a little bummed not every room gets a oven sink etc. The people are so kind and there isn't a lot of people around but it's quiet and definitely a good place to stay for a night or two.

A little place, very nice people, located out in the Mountains. A couple hours from Grangeville. Beautiful drive, but very windy, with hills, n some rock slides.

Probably the mosyt deceiving hotel I ever stayed in: The outside looks downright scary! Fortunately that is really just facade. The hotel lobby/reception is lovingly renovated. The staff (owner?) was super friendly and helpful! We got a suite with 2 bedrooms and 4 beds for an unbelievable fair price. The rooms were spacious and clean. Lots of charging ports, hot water with decent pressure. This is really the only hotel in Elk City - but I can totally recommend it. Especially nice for anyone starting section 4 of the Idaho BDR!

This motel is one of the best I've stayed in! If you're looking for plush and extravagance this isn't for you, if you're looking for a nice clean (very clean) place to stay this is it! Bed was comfy, the fridge was not one of those mini fridges you cant even fit your water in, it was a nice big dryer size! Shower was tiny but oh man the water pressure is amazing!! The people are very nice and go out of their way to make sure you're comfortable. There was even a welcome note with a prayer on it which I loved! I would definitely stay there again!!! And the gifts shop has a nice little section of natural health products!! (One of my obsessions lol)
