Inexpensive but good
Although the place is dated, it was very clean and comfortable, and the best part was it was a great value.

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!

Bed was comfortable. Shower water pressure was very low. We couldn’t set the water temperature properly. It was either too hot or too cold.

Everything was clean and functional, and the staff came to the front desk after hours to check us in. We visited several nearby shops and had a great breakfast across the street.

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.
