Stopped through Missoula to break up my drive to Kalispell. The motel was so cute and clean. Recently renovated with very friendly staff. Would stay again
This is an excellent motel for the price. Friendly staff, updated rooms, & convenient location. We chose it because of its proximity to the river trail through town. It was a great spot to get in a nice morning run before another day of driving. We all slept well and agreed we’d stay again in the future!
This is our second time staying at the Bel Aire Motel. It is cute, comfortable beds, and affordable. The amenities are lacking, no coffee pot, microwave or fridge, but a good stay. Parking good.
We got there early after driving 16 hours and they were able to accommodate an early check in. The front desk man was very kind and funny. He had recommendations for things to do and see while we were in town. He also was able to get a microwave to our room. Would stay here again.
We arrived late and appreciated that someone was able to check us in. This was our second time staying here, and would stay here CC again. Cute and retro motel with no frills but very clean, comfortable bed, and good shower. Well-situated to walk to shopping and restaurants downtown. Could be even better with an on-site manager and amenities like snacks and beverages for purchase.
This is a great little hotel. Inexpensive. Staff was great. Room was clean. This is a basic room for sleeping. No frills, fridge, or microwave, but we didn't need that. Bed was very comfy.
