I'm a frequent business traveler to rural America, and I require four basic things: 1. Safe 2. Clean 3. Everything works 4. Hi-speed internet The Sherlock Hotel meets all of those criteria, which immediately gives it a 4 star rating. What knocks it up to a five star rating is a) the kitschy atmosphere, complete with shag carpeting, and b)... More

Sure, this place is "cheap" at seventy bucks a night. But you get what you pay for. The organge shag carpet in our room was so stained and soiled, I was afraid to take my shoes off. The room stank of mildew and cigarettes (even though the owner insisted that all rooms are non-smoking) so we had to open the... More

I have stayed here three times this summer. The owner is very friendly and accomodating. The rooms are clean and quiet, IMO. The only problem I had is the last time I stayed there, I slept in until 7:30 and had to take a cold shower. The place is usually booked up in the summer, so perhaps they could use... More

What a delightful place -- so glad we stopped here on our way to Glacier. Yes, it's old and retro (my kids were cracking up at the sign touting "Color TV!" and devoid of fancy amenities, but reasonably priced, spotlessly clean, and the owner -- Sonja -- is a sweetheart. When we mentioned that we were heading to the town's... More

It was clean and comfortable and Mark and Sonya were very friendly and helpful. It was a good stay before we went to Glacier Nat'l Park. There is a grocery store with a redbox within close walking distance. More

I stayed here based on TA reviews and the economical rates. Unfortunately, I did not get one of the "retro" rooms others have written about. We were in a huge over-sized room located on the end of the two story building. Our room had two full sized beds that could have been firmer, a large glassed top table with 4... More

Fantastic value: clean, bright rooms with a retro, 1970s feel, all complemented with quiet surroundings and, if you're on the second floor, a view of the prairie. More

This was a comfortable place and the owner was a real cool guy. The decor was retro, beds comfortable, coffee in-room was Wolfgang Puck-great! More

I had seen the first review, and this sounded like my kind of place. We were not disappointed. We got a big second floor room for about $60 +tax. The room appears not to have changed since it was built (maybe 1969). We had an awesome three tone orange shag carpet, and plenty of rumpus room paneling. The bathroom was... More
