The bed is comfy and check in went smooth. Fourth of July weekend so the hotel was booked and you can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors say. Motel is going thru a face lift & my room had disheveled corner of unopened to be installed mirror/iron/ironing board.

This was a nice little find on our trip through Montana. It wasn't fancy or 5 star quality, but if you're reading this review then you aren't looking for 5 star quality. But the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We had no issues with the room

The property was an older property that has been upgraded and is well kept. Probably could have used a little more counter space for the sink other wise everything else was great!

Quite comfortable for the cost. The beds were amazing yet dont expect anything aside of a quiet and clean room with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and comfortable bedding. The location may turn you away but id stay there again in a heart beat. Bravo!
