The gal at the front desk is super nice. She upgraded our room to an upstairs one that was bigger and more updated than the one we had book. We didn't ask for this, she just offered. The room was clean and roomy.

Skeptical at first. Booked online, had a great rating and pics on reservation site. When we pulled up it seemed like a typical “motel” and doubted the roomed matched the pics. Pleasantly surprised!! Rooms were very clean with modern decor and fixtures. Beds were comfortable with plenty of pillows. Clean bedding and bathrooms. Shower was hot. Perfect for our one evening stay. Would definitely book there again for a multi-day stay in Missoula.
