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🙌

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.

It would be great if the fitness center was ready for us, as promised. Ideally, a water station within the property would be very helpful. I was also surprised they charged $20/day parking - the hotel is on the edge of town, it is not like there is an abundance of competition for parking. All in all a good stay and would do it again if ever in Bozeman..

Walkable to downtown. They have bicycles you can borrow. Nice room but no fridge or microwave. Bed was overly soft. Not a restful night. Considering the price of the room, Complimentary coffee in the morning would be nice but you have to pay instead. Probably wouldn’t choose it again.
