"Expectations from this BUDGET motel were met. It is an older establishment that appears as though some areas are being updated (?) That said, the walls between the rooms are paper thin so you better enjoy the conversations and TV shows your neighbors are involved in. OVERALL, I don't see myself in Helena, Montana in the near future.....but if I am, I would probably look at this motel if I needed a budget/cheap place to rack out for a night or two."

"The hotel was wonderful! Perfect location for us and never heard any road noise. Room and all of the hotel was super clean. We saw staff cleaning often also. The breakfast had a good variety of yummy foods and the coffee was always fresh & replaced quickly when empty. We did not use the free washer and dryer but what a nice bonus. Our room was super clean and had everything we could possibly need. This will be our hotel whenever we are in Helena, MT."
