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.

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!!!

Very Friendly Motel

The folks at the front desk were very friendly. Happy to patronize a family owner small motel. The room was pretty standard, not really updated at all but perfectly fine for the night. The fridge was bigger than a typical hotel fridge, so that was a nice touch. The only issue, the shower wasn't cleaned all that thoroughly. The rest of the room seemed clean.

An old fashioned pleasant, simple hotel. Liked their hanging baskets of flowers, candy at the desk, coffee in the morning. Not fancy, but nice people at hosting. They were helpful with our puppy!
