Gallatin National Forest

The last time we were here was ‘98 and the room we stayed in this time (single queen lodge) was absolutely gross! Nothings been updated. The bed-you roll to the middle, stuff on the main comforter and underneath, I put my beach towel and blanket on the bed/pillow (3 flat pancakes)to sleep, hair in the fridge, toilet/shower area had hair on the floor. My husband found a toenail next to the toilet , puke! Said the restaurant was closed 2 of the days we were going to be there so we brought food to use the bbqs! Oh wait- they are only charcoal and there was a burn ban. If we could have used charcoal it’s 30 miles away to get it. And don’t forget, the Lodge isn’t affiliated with Lolo Hot springs- heard that several times, we get it but you’re in the same parking lot, you’d think they’d have some info! Stayed 3 nights (unfortunately) and never got one offer to clean or take the trash, that you have to walk away to dump yourself. Staff said they would be cleaning that evening but never heard anything from them. Continental breakfast- would have been decent if there would have been anything available. We honestly don’t need the BEST hotel but we paid almost $200 a night and SO disappointed, staff just shrugged their shoulders and said “we’re a staff of 5…” Won’t ever go back unfortunately:/

We had such a wonderful stay! The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautiful, and every staff member we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. A special shoutout to Aiden, who checked us in. He happens to be a student at the same university my daughter is headed to, and he was so sweet to her and gave her some great advice about the school. It made her feel even more excited about what’s ahead! And the kindness didn’t stop there. When my daughter got a flat tire outside the hotel, the manager and a maintenance team member actually came out and helped change her tire. We were so grateful for their kindness and going above and beyond to help us. What an amazing experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
