Comfortable room for my short stay

Was a short stay as I was just driving through Helena, but this hotel seemed fairly brand new and it was very comfortable and perfect for what I needed. The price was very reasonable as well. Staff was very friendly at check in and got me to my room quickly. Would recommend

Had an excellent stay. The rooms, especially suites, are very comfortable. Hotel seems recently renovated so it’s nice. Close to airport, good support for working remote. The only odd thing was the manager, Alisha Hoppe. I also booked a room for my parents, and the manager tried to pick a fight with my Mom when she (nicely) asked about late check out. Was extremely rude, and told them they were not welcome back and that she was banning them from the hotel. I’ve never heard of anything like that, and I honestly don’t even think that’s possible. But the company needs to take care of this matter promptly. If staff are going to treat their guests this way, they aren’t going to have many guests for much longer! The rest of the staff were excellent.
