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.

We enjoyed our stay! Great location- grocery store and park right next door and easy walk to Main Street proper. The hotel was very stylish and excellently maintained, like brand-new. The BEST part was the friendly dogs who greeted guests in the lobby! The only downers were no table in room if you wanted to work on laptop and no complimentary coffee or breakfast in the lobby.

A beautifully renovated hotel with a nice Boutique feel! Right on Main Street in Bozeman… quick Lyft rides to all shops and restaurants. Or use the free bikes for a 1/2 mile ride to all the fun spots! Cozy, quiet rooms. Plenty of space to lounge in lobby or outside around the fire pit! Great for 1 night getaway or stay a week if you’re in town for an event or skiing, hunting!
Loved the free bikes for use!
Enjoy the fire pit
Plenty of gathering room

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!
