Perfect property for our quick trip! Great property and would highly recommend. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond customer service when I left my phone in the lobby, only realizing it once I was to the airport. A staff member called to inform me they found my phone and drove the phone 20 minutes to the airport to deliver to me in person on their personal break. I’m truly grateful.

They need refrigerators in the rooms, We brought fresh food which needed to be kept cold. :-( Overall an ok hotel, Staff was great, rooms were clean, just need to bring ammenities up to modern standards
We loved this place so much! The location is great. The staff was amazing! Starting each morning with coffee from the barista right down the stairs while staring at the beautiful mountains was perfection!
The room was very clean, and we loved the lobby and room décor, as well as the espresso machine. However, if you’re looking for a quiet stay, this might not be the best choice. Our room was on the second level, and the walls were very thin, we could hear the TV from the neighboring room, their 5 a.m. alarm, and even most of the footsteps and occasional jumping from the room above us.
Friendly, warm welcoming staff. The room was spotless, comfortable and very cute! I will definitely stay here again

It seemed welcoming to pets. Rooms were clean. Heat worked.
But 3 floors and no stairs. No microwave or fridge. No extra towels or blankets.
Parking was an extra $20, and the parking lot was open, just a normal parking lot.

A wonderful experience...room was extremely clean and comfortable, and our stay was very quiet. Staff is so friendly and the ambiance of the lobby, stairwells, and rooms was a rustic western. Beautiful place that we would definitely choose again if we get back to Bozeman in the future!
Clean room and friendly staff. Questioning why we had to pay $20 to park in the parking lot at the motel. Seemed odd since it was iced over and just a parking lot.
The property was newly renovated and very well done. Good location, easy access to the interstate and the downtown area.
