This is a basic clean motel. Cheap so I did not rate as if i expected the Hilton but rather what I paid for. The room was clean, had a really comfy bed, had everything it claimed to provide. It is in walking distance of old town Helena and all the cool restaurants. The man at the desk was really helpful. I would give it five stars but realize if the place is busy there might be noise from above or next door, I found it very affordable and will likely stay again.
