We loved staying here mainly because it was right downtown Bozeman so it was close to a lot of things, and the hotel is absolutely beautiful! One thing that stood out to us was the incredibly friendly staff. They were all so personable and helpful and made us feel right at home!

Great location, close to downtown and access to highway! Staff were very friendly, and accommodating as we originally had a third floor but they offered to switch us to lower floor so dog wouldn’t have to do stairs (no elevator). I wish there wasn’t a parking fee.

Good location, clean, new. Small but comfy rooms. Loved the decor. Common area was really nice! Dog friendly too, which is super nice. Parking was an additional $20 fee, which was annoying. Other than that, enjoyed my stay and would recommend!

The property is attractive & well located at the interstate end of downtown Bozeman. There are stairs, however to all but one unit & no elevators. If you have mobility issues this is not the place for you. Also, there is no way to make tea & coffee is available only certain hours & only in the lobby. No microwave, no refrigerator, no coffee maker. I fell in the shower & the manager had no real interest. We should have been assigned the one handicap unit.

This place was nice on all levels. AND the bed and pillows were so comfortable - I just sank into it after a long day of going to the park. Parking is $20 and I'm not entirely sure they have an elevator - it wasn't pointed out to us. No breakfast but they do have an espresso machine to make specialty coffees and bakery items (which I didn't see but it's on their website).

Super cute hotel! Just a short walk to downtown Bozeman. Reasonably priced rooms. Super sweet interior design, and pet friendly! Just wish they had finished the renovation the gym and hottub - but it was ok because they were able to give us day-passes to a local gym which was awesome! Would stay here again for sure!
