We loved our 2 night stay here. The lobby was great for working. We utilized the bikes the ride around town. Also only about a 1/2 mile walk to the bars and restaurants. The gym was great and they have a sauna.

Really a nice hotel, looks like a mountain lodge. Walking distance to downtown. Espresso and doughnuts in the lobby. You have to ask for a mini fridge or microwave to be delivered to your room, which is unusual, but was fine once I discovered that.

Lovely lobby and sitting area. Friendly staff. Patrick was professional and pleasant even offering to carry our luggage to the 2nd floor. The room, bedding and especially the bathrooms were exceptionally clean with a pleasant neutral, clean smell as apposed to synthetic scents. The absence of a closet was handled well with the oversized luggage cart with racks for hangning clothes. The bed matresses were a bit tired and could use a refresh.

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!

Good location, very walkable to lots of restaurants, shops, and groceries if needed. Proximity to major roads means some noise. Comfortable, clean rooms, and two very good exercise/wellness spaces. Suggested amenities for improvement would be hand towel rack in sink area, hairdryer, and mini fridge for through-travelers. All in all, however, I would easily stay there again.

Staff was all very helpful and nice. They make great lattes in the morning! The lobby area to hang out at had a great vibe and was comfortable. Bed was awesome and we had a great sleep. Very quiet hotel. It would have been cool if they offered a happy hour with wine/beer or some N/A options in the late afternoon. Cons: We had to pay an extra fee per night for parking-they might want to consider adding into the cost of the hotel rate as the hotel shares a parking lot with a gas station. No fridge in the room which would be nice to have. Not really in the "heart" of downtown so its a bit of a walk to get there or would have to take a ride share service. Parking downtown is a pain!

No luggage cart, no elevator for a three story hotel, no breakfast ( Not that big of a deal) and very little in the way of even a pop machine or snacks unless you call $1 apples amenities. The rooms were clean and at least they had some coffee for the morning.

We had a really nice experience at this hotel, due to the overall cleanliness and the very friendly staff. I also loved the location of the hotel! It’s in a great spot, right next door to a gas station, and with many establishments up the road. The rooms were amazing as well! I would definitely recommend booking here🙌

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.
