Amazing price and amazing place. It is centrally located near lots of tourist spots. It was very clean and they even gave us fresh fluffy towels without waiting to be asked. The staff was friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and pillows were good too. This place was the best of the 4 places we stayed at on our vacation. The other places cost 2-3 times more. Breakfast was adequate. Make sure you visit the Auto Museum in town!

Small, older hotel, but meticulously maintained and run! Well managed hotel by a small staff that ensured that every aspect of our stay was excellent. Extremely clean hotel room, not just main contact surface areas clean, but no dust on the floor boards and no soap scum in the shower. Felt like staying at my grandma's house. Again, not a fancy looking hotel, but so well maintained and run from the ease of check-in/out to the layout of the small breakfast nook. Absolutely recommend.

you wouldn't think much of this place when you pulled up. You would think it was your typical dive motel but I can assure you it's well beyond that. The staff is amazing super nice really friendly.. the rooms are really nice the decor is decent. They provide you with shower gel and shampoo the shower area has plenty of space. The bed is comfortable and clean the only thing is the TV channels didn't always come in. But other than that it was a pleasurable stay

Update 7/23: We did stay again, was still a comfortable sleep and staff was very friendly and nice. We'll keep staying here on our trips to and from my doctor in Idaho. :) 4/23: Everything was very clean, though the motel was old and had no handicapped room. Staff was friendly, bed was decent and better than Hampton's. Would stay here again.

This hotel is a bit dated, but the perfect little home town inn. Very clean, staff were so friendly. The Continental breakfast offered more then the usual ones, even a jimmy dean breakfast sandwich was offered, alonyg with 7 types of cereals, yogurt , a variety of bagels. Oatmeal ( 5 varieties. And waffles. Can't ask for more then that for a Continental breakfast. I would recommend this inn, if you are looking for that hometown, cozy stay. I thought the prices were very reasonable.

Our family stayed here in July 2019. We were looking for a nice, clean stop for the night as we headed to Glacier NP. We found it here! The facility is slightly dated, but well furnished. The cleanliness was a huge plus. Surprisingly quiet for being on Main Street. Friendly staff were another plus. We opted for breakfast burritos from the Safeway Deli across the road, so can’t really rate the breakfast, although the juice and coffee were nice. Walking distance to most of the museums in town. Would definitely stay here again.
