Fairly clean but that's about it. Typical old-style motel right down to the smell. (Must use cleaning products from the 60s, but at least it wasn't an awful smell.)

This motel would have been rather nice, had it not been located near trains. All night long, we heard the train whistles---very LOUD train whistles. Not good for sleeping. The service was wonderful though, and very helpful people at the desk. Had it not been for the disrupted sleep, we would have enjoyed it very much.

For the rainfan/photographer this is one of the best train-watching motels available. Get a west-facing room and the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe mainline trestle over Cut Bank Creek is in the backyard. This structure is 1200-feet long and 180-high over the river from which the town gets its name. Eastbound trains can be seen more than two miles away as they descend from the central Montana plateau into the river valley. Pizza Hut, McDonalds and other restaurants and grocery stores are nearby. Take Amtrak's Empire Builder to Cut Bank, walk six blocks to Super 8 Motel, and you can watch approximately one freight train per hour in comfort.

We arrived here later on in the afternoon with no reservation and managed to get one of the few remaining rooms. I was expecting a little better as it was a Super 8 Pride motel which I thought might mean it was better than ordinary ones. This didn't particularly seem to be the case though. The room had a strange smell to it, which could have been an attempt to cover up smoke but it was a non smoking room.

The ladies at the check in desk seemed rather flustered, and a little off hand. Perhaps we caught them at a bad time.

I would have to say the absolutely worst thing about this motel is the proximity to the trains which sound their horns all night long and from what sounds like one end of town to the other. This was the worst night sleep I had the whole time we were away.

The brreakfast was ok nothing to right home about, and wasn't improved by not having any where to sit. Either we timed it just as everyone else did or they don't have sufficient space.

It wasn't overly expensive but not fantastically cheap either. I personally wouldn't be in any rush to go back.
