    Everything was fine, but the next room played a loud TV all night so we didn't sleep much.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    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🙌

    All in all a good stay and would do it again if ever in Bozeman..

    Nice size room & good layout with vanity area outside of the bathroom. The shower was large and the shampoo, conditioner and bath gel was the type installed in the shower, which we consider a plus. We also really enjoyed the open style closet where you could hang your clothes and see to organize. The decor was perfect with the western style motif. There was a coffee maker in the room which we couldn't figure out. There is no refrigerator or microwave. The parking may or may not be $20. We were told at check in that it would be $20. We were a little surprised because it just didn't seem like the area was one that charge for parking. The listing on Expedia said Self Parking is available. We were not charged for parking. Also, they have a Continental Breakfast available - not free. It was coffee including espresso and some other coffee drinks. The first morning they had donuts, pastries, bagels & apples. The 2nd morning all I saw was the apples. We didn't partake it the continental breakfast, but each morning since we couldn't figure out how to work the coffee maker, we came down and got a cup of coffee. The staff has to pour it for you. Since they asked our room number I assumed we were being charged. I never asked the cost, since when it comes to us and coffee in the morning it doesn't matter. It appears we were not charged, so that was a nice surprise. Staff was great - but the morning crew has to multitask as guest agent and barista. They handled it very well!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Boutique hotel on main street. Convenient location to downtown and all the shops and restaurants . Staff is friendly and helpful

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    There are no desks, tables, closets or refrigerators in the room. It costs us $20 a night to park, they have a large large parking lot. we were disappointed in have to pay for coffee and $5 a pastry, which they don't bring out until 9:00. When you pay $300 a night you shouldn't have to pay for coffee. You can walk from the hotel to downtown.

    People and service were nice. Too expensive. No refrigerator in room. No breakfast options.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    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.
