You gotta love a hotel room that has a bottle opener mounted on the edge of the bathroom counter... really, that's cool. The room was clean, and despite the fact the hotel is located on a busy street, it was quiet enough in the room to sleep well. There is one thing to be aware of. Our room didn't have a coffee maker (a must for me), but there was coffee and tea in the main lobby. Since my room did have a microwave, I bought instant coffee, grabbed a disposable coffee cup from the lobby and made my own in the room... We will stay here again!
The rooms were a little dated but it was super clean and the staff was amazing to work with. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. You might not get a purple mattress but you won’t get bed bugs. Would stay at again :)
It was nice last time I stayed the night before having to have a medical procedure done the next morning.i get if this business is not as busy after the holidays?why be closed Dec 1st 2025 to April 1st 2026 when there’s over 600 households without homes to go to in the city of Missoula and if no shelters to take everyone in after one closed and the other expected to try and double occupancy on that one.theres still people that come into the city to visit family members here and have kids go to school at the university.the rest of the hotels and motels depending on condition of some of them overcharge to the point some of the homeless that do have money to stay somewhere get left out when they don’t have enough money or didn’t make it on time to get one of the last rooms.i hope for the time this place is closed?maybe some motel room and property improvements happen if that’s part of the case and maybe influence places like red lion and fairbridge to follow suit.we need to do better as a community.the ones that do ruin it for everyone should be held accountable when someone overstays,doesn’t pay or wrecks a room just so we are on the same page.
Great location if you’re driving through and it’s a nice quiet clean place to rest and wash up while on the road. Not far from the motel are restaurants and grocery stores. Downtown is a 10 minute drive and a great place to visit!
Room was easily to get to on the bottom. Room was very spacious, beds comfortable, clean, front desk staff very helpful and price to stay was very reasonable. Thank U. Plan on staying there again, and will let friends know.
This was a surprisingly good motel. Was expecting the usual, but in fact the rooms were very clean, even if not modern. There was no motel smell, it was very quiet, and the front desk provided great service. It looked like a pretty busy place. Everything you'd want, and the price can't be beat.
Honestly surprised how SPACIOUS our room & bathroom was even though the hotel is a bit outdated they keep the rooms pretty clean ( the carpet is a bit worn out but that didn't bother me too much) they also had a really nice big dining table in the room were you could eat with a microwave and fridge. The room definitely had a vintage 80's vibe to it by the way. The location is close to alotta business & restaurants and grocery stores such as winco. I would stay again.
Staff is really friendly. The rooms are better than expected and the price is reasonable.
This classic low-rise motel is 2.5 miles from the University of Montana campus and 7.3 miles from Missoula International Airport.
