This property was within walking distance to anything downtown. The staff were superb and had lots of great advice on what to do. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was HUGE!
A really great comfortable bed and a clean Lovely room and friendly knowledgeable staff… The lobby is super cool and one should chill out in it during their stay at least for a few minutes at some point.
We loved our 2 night stay here. The lobby was great for working. We utilized the bikes the ride around town. Also only about a 1/2 mile walk to the bars and restaurants. The gym was great and they have a sauna.
Really a nice hotel, looks like a mountain lodge. Walking distance to downtown. Espresso and doughnuts in the lobby. You have to ask for a mini fridge or microwave to be delivered to your room, which is unusual, but was fine once I discovered that.
We loved staying here mainly because it was right downtown Bozeman so it was close to a lot of things, and the hotel is absolutely beautiful! One thing that stood out to us was the incredibly friendly staff. They were all so personable and helpful and made us feel right at home!
Good location, very walkable to lots of restaurants, shops, and groceries if needed. Proximity to major roads means some noise. Comfortable, clean rooms, and two very good exercise/wellness spaces. Suggested amenities for improvement would be hand towel rack in sink area, hairdryer, and mini fridge for through-travelers. All in all, however, I would easily stay there again.
Well decorated and great location. There was a lot of dog hair in room and I was surprised by the parking fee daily but overall good place. Enjoyed the morning coffee in the lobby.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
No luggage cart, no elevator for a three story hotel, no breakfast ( Not that big of a deal) and very little in the way of even a pop machine or snacks unless you call $1 apples amenities.
The rooms were clean and at least they had some coffee for the morning.
We had a really nice experience at this hotel, due to the overall cleanliness and the very friendly staff. I also loved the location of the hotel! It’s in a great spot, right next door to a gas station, and with many establishments up the road. The rooms were amazing as well! I would definitely recommend booking here🙌
Great location, close to downtown and access to highway! Staff were very friendly, and accommodating as we originally had a third floor but they offered to switch us to lower floor so dog wouldn’t have to do stairs (no elevator). I wish there wasn’t a parking fee.
Very unique hotel. Love the decor. The staff are really nice. I love that they have an espresso bar in the lobby. Convenient to walk downtown and more affordable than the hotels in the downtown core of Bozeman. Would definitely stay there again.
Overall a great stay, location is close to downtown. Great place to stay if traveling with dogs, there is a park within walking distance from the hotel. Will definitely be staying there again when we are in the area.
