“A new experience!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed one night on our way to Yellowstone and it was fun experience. So if you want to stay in a hotel different from everyone else, go for this. The service was very good, the rooms are clean and "retro", but the main thing is the enternaiment, which I have never seen anything like it. Go and experience it for yourself in the bar. And you leave the hotel with a cute little rubber duch as a nice memory.

“An Experience You Won't Forget!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

Wow, is all I can say about this place! If you are looking for your typical Holiday Inn I would stop reading because this place is not going to cut it. If you have a good sense of humour and are looking for an alternative to your regular hotel chain this is the place for you.
My husband and I stayed here on our road trip from Niagara Falls, ON to Vancouver BC and booked in advance after reading the great reviews. Although Great Falls is not anything to write home about, this hotel alone is worth the stop. We had a corner room and didn't know at the time but apparently there are only 3 avaliable and are known for the mirrors everywhere including the ceiling; I'm not kidding. Sorry I can't offer any insight into the other rooms. This place was like stepping back into the 1970's. Sure the furniture and carpet is very outdated and it has a green bathtub and sink but this place is very clean.

The service and the entertainment is terrific and it will be an experience you'll never forget! As a parting gift they give you a rubber duck. You will see many pictures in the lobby and carpark of hotel guests who have taken pictures with the rubber duck while travelling and sent them back to the O'Haire Inn to be hung up. The Sip'n'Dip is the hotel bar and can't be missed. Make sure you go when the mermaids are swimming in the pool. It's hard to explain but if you look at the pictures you will see. I think it is from Tuesday to Saturday but double check. Many locals come to this bar and it is very well know throughout Great Falls. An 80 year old woman plays the organ and sings. Amazing. As you sit in the bar you are not really sure what is going on but just take it all in because you won't be at a place like this again. If you are looking for an updated modern room keep driving. If you are open minded the O'Haire is the place to stop. Great entertainment, clean rooms and friendly staff. What a place!!!

“Unique stay, something you must see for yourself.”

We picked this place based on TripAdvisor reviews. The hotel was VERY clean and comfortable after 6 hours of driving. Check in was quick and our stay was completed with a rubber ducky. the mermaid show was interesting and something you won't see elsewhere. The bar is it in doesn't have food as we hoped for. overall very good stay and nice break from traditional motels.

“Hidden gem not to be missed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This family owned business is a true hidden gem. When it opened it would have had June Cleaver's (Beaver of Leave it to Beaver's mom) approval and today Martha Stewart would approve of the accommodations and the cleanliness.
Covered parking right outside your room even when the room is on the second floor is very convenient. Although we missed the piano player and the mermaid we did see where they perform. Very unique venues. The staff of the hotel is family and treats guests like they are too. The take with you duck is just another special touch. The pictures and captions on the web site are almost as much fun as the hotel.
You may choose to stay here for the very reasonable price but the place is truly priceless. It should have been included in the "1000 Places to See Before You Die" book.

Nice motel a little off the beaten path in Great Falls, MT. Decided to give it a try after reading other reviews and ended up being very glad I did. This has to be one of the less expensive motels in the area, but probably rivals the others in terms of quality. It does have limited wireless access, but I was told when I checked in that if I didn't have a good signal I could come back to the desk and get a cable for wired access. I was able to get a "Very Low" wireless signal in my room. There does not appear to be any signal throttling if downloading.

One perk - covered parking. They have their own parking garage attached. I'm not sure how large it actually is, but I had no problem finding a space. Might be too tight for larger vehicles. Great for motorcycles!

One complaint - Cheap, water saving, mass-produced shower head.
