Cleanliness
4.8
Multiple reviews mention dirty rooms (filthy rooms, dust under beds, stains in tub, washcloth left hanging) and rough towels, indicating below-average cleanliness.
Service
7.6
Staff described as friendly and helpful in several reviews, but at least one report of a rude manager and lack of assistance with a cancelled prepaid booking makes service mixed but overall somewhat positive.
Location
8.8
Several reviewers note the hotel is convenient for an overnight stay, close to Glacier National Park and has easy parking — location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
5.4
Rooms are dated with issues: noisy or malfunctioning A/C, stiff beds, some construction, broken fridge or appliances and occasional odors—room quality is below average.
Amenities
6.8
Basic amenities present (microwave, fridge, coffee/tea access 24h, some rooms have hairdryer though some broken); inconsistent maintenance reduces the score slightly.
Value for Money
8
Multiple guests state the hotel is good or acceptable for the price and convenient for travelers, indicating strong value relative to cost.
Food and Beverage
5.6
Breakfast is described as marginal (toast, bagels, cereal) though coffee/tea access is available; food offerings are limited and unimpressive.
Overall Experience
7.4
Mixed overall: several guests found it adequate for an overnight or budget visit, while others reported noise, cleanliness and comfort problems and said they would not return.

Pros:

Our prepaid room as cancelled without our knowledge. The “manager” informed us that that’s what happens when you book with a third party company like hotels,com and you should never assume you have a room until you call the hotel directly. They didn’t offer any assistance in finding a room and were extremely rude

Pros:

I hate leaving bad reviews.... I will never stay there again. We were on the lower level. Very noisy, people upstairs were very noisy most of the night....the floor was very dirty... Sad when you feel like you need a shower, just after you had a shower...

Pros:

I only stayed there because it was dog friendly and I had my dog with me. The room was adequate, others were smoking outside, and there was no dedicated pet area. I would stay there again if I had my dog with me. The staff person I dealt with was very friendly and helpful.

Pros:

Rooms were clean, except for under the beds, lots of dust. Only 2 pillows per bed. We stayed 3 nights and had to go to the office to activate the keys every night.
