Parking was easy, was able to park right infant of room. I feel like the photos over sold the property. The floors were sticky, bedding on the beds were mismatched and the entire place smelled like cigarette smoke. I have been to a few really nice boutique motels before and was hoping for a better experience.
Grateful the attendant got me a room with fridge even though I guess my rate was for one without! I could keep the babies milk cold! Bed is comfy! New updates make it cozy.
The place is well remodeled and clean it looks like late sixties in southern California. This is an old school motel in downtown Mizsoula. Great for a cheap stay. Not a place I would go to if travelling with my wife. She has standards. Like an elevator. 😁
There were little black hairs on the shelf in the bathroom, soap bottle not filled, phone didn’t work, no toilet paper at first, pillows were great and beds were comfortable, very strong cleaning product smell
Room smelled of smoke. Had to change rooms because smell so bad and the next room was just as bad. Woke up with headache from smoke smell and hair smelled. Bare room.
Homeless people are put up there by city government so expect drama and lists of homeless hanging around and smoking. Looks good on hotel.com but very deceiving.
Front desk staff was super nice and helpful.
I showed up at 130am repeatedly called the number written on the front door for afterhours check in and no answer had to find a different place to stay
The room stank of a very pungent cleaning product, burned our eyes and we felt it in our sinuses. Our clothes stink of it. The towels were tattered and had black dirty spots on them and other discolored stains. Got new towels and theywere marginally better. Hot water lasted maybe five minutes, not enough for two people to shower back to back.
Nicely updated rooms. The location couldn’t be better in Missoula. I think the owners name is Roy, he is as very friendly. There was a really cold night before my check-out. My locks froze in my truck so when I was getting ready to check-out I realized I couldn’t get in my truck. I had to go get some lock de-over which made me run late checking out. He was super understanding it was much appreciated. I’ll stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Refusing to refund 1 night stay when I paid for 2 night and only stayed 1 night
Room was not ready at check in. Wrong key several times, wrong room type 3 times and finally the last room had no bedding nor comforter.
After four tries at correcting the issues and finally getting a room, without the bed prepared or a comforter, with a non-working phone and foul odor, I left the property and found a different hotel. The issues at check in combined with the poor room condition left me feeling uneasy with the motel and its staff. I was happier losing the booking fee and paying for a night in a different hotel.
