“Avoid it at all cost- worst motel experience ever.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2011

Stench in 'non-smoking' room was disgusting. Everything was filthy, couldn't brush my teeth in sink without gagging cause the drain had such a build up of grunge. Towels were thin, small and had tattered edges, some threadbare. Sheets were grey/beige not white and very thin. Pillows were so old and filled with dust mites, they couldn't have been more than 2 inches thick, pillow cases looked like they hadn't been changed. The bedspread was stained and likely dated from the 1970s. We refused to sleep in the bed without buying our own pillows and sleeping bag liners and now I'm worried we might have bedbugs because of the filth of the place. We visited Kaispell the 4th of July weekend and couldn't find any vacancies so members of the baseball team had to stay there . Never again, avoid this dive!!

Room Tip: Don't even try this place, drive on!!

“Pleasantly surprised...nice property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2011

I normally avoid this brand as I have had unpleasant experiences in the past. Due to scheduling issues, I chose this property over another and was very pleasantly surprised. We were given a family suite which had a leather sofa bed, wall mounted flat screen TV, faux fireplace which did throw off heat and lovely lodgepole furnishings. Also had a wet bar and micro fridge. Really very nice. Only complaint was the pillows...a little skimpy..but they did give enough of them so we just doubled up. Besides the wet bar sink near the coffeemaker, there is another sink/mirror area outside of where toilet and shower were located. There are two separate buildings and the lobby/breakfast area was located in the other building. VERY small breakfast area but it is a true continental...limited items, but enough to fill you up to start your day. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Would stay here again if in Kalispell.

“Five Star Quality For One Star Price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed at this motel for three weeks in March, 2011 and found excellent room and service at bargain basement prices of $22.00 per day. The room was super clean and very large, the television in the room was large screen on cable that featured the Starz movie channel (my favorite), the Wi-Fi signal was strong (very important for a blogger), the free breakfast would have cost $5 to $10 dollars at the eatery next door, and the staff was super friendly with good advice about local attractions. The only problem I had for the first few nights was getting to sleep - MONTANA IS SO DAMN QUIET!

Room Tip: Call ahead for the best rates.

“It was okay and nothing like the negative reviews.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

The reviews of this hotel were so bad that I was afraid to even look at it. But we stopped by and asked to see a room. It really was okay so we decided to stay. The only thing I can say is that the sheets and pillows (although clean) seemed old and not as white. The pillows weren't fluffy like other hotels but I could tell it was clean. There were no stains on the rugs, it was vacuumed, the bathroom was clean. It didn't smell and was fine for a night. The staff was very nice but I'm mostly concerned about cleanliness. Definitely nothing like I expected from the reviews.

“Not a great place to stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2010

This is an old motel with a musty smell and uncomfortable beds and pillows. It was advertised as being near the airport. Unfortunately that is the old airport and not Glacier International. You must pay for ice and while they do have a very old computer in the lobby that the guests can use, there is no access to a printer. The room was $98 and was not worth that.
