Just there for one night. Room was clean and comfortable. I had reserved two rooms but when I checked in she only had a record for one and no other empty spaces. I was in the parking lot kind of grumpy and looked for another place on my phone and she burst out of the office to say she found a listing from the same area code and realized it was my phone number but with another persons name. I forgot that I had reserved the second room under my friends name so there were actually two rooms reserved. The mix up was totally my fault but she was a great detective and figured it out and saved us from finding a different hotel. Kudos to that young lady. Very pleased!

I wasn’t expecting a motel style experience with a lobby I needed to be buzzed into. But it was clean and conveniently located in Helena’s downtown area. It was nicer than I expected from my initial impression.

Room wasnt clean, but at least the bed was. Just needed a place to crash, atleast it was decent for that. Beds werent super comfy but the clean white sheets made it nice. The tv didn't work and neither did the wifi. Room came with soaps, 2x shampoo but not conditioner. Fridge and microwave.

It was a sketchy neighborhood. A run down suite. We were checked in for 2 hours before I was bitten by a bedbug. The service was great. She immediately gave me a refund, and we headed out.

The property is old, yet it was clean and comfortable. Price was affordable. The rooms are not very soundproof. The entry door had locks, yet didnt feel really secure.

The hotel is old, rundown, and poorly maintained. The room smelled of old cigarette smoke. The area has a significant homeless population.

8/10 Very Good

Very cool old motel. Bit of a rough neighborhood with many in transition and homelessness around the area. But the lighting and property was well-maintained we felt safe staying here. Toilet flapper was broken, and the water ran all night, I bent down and turned the water off at the wall to help with waste, but this will need to get fixed right away, which I told staff. Their lobby is filled with political ideologies and views that do not lineup with mine, or I feel are good for kids which I need to share , but all staff were very helpful.
