It’s an older property, but well kept. Nice accommodations for a low affordable price. Nice little bar/casino within the property.
Monty, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Dirty. Old. Minus a pillow case.
Robert, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place looks nothing like the pictures. No lights on when you walk in from the unkept parking lot. Room was dirty, had dog hair in the bed and not vacuumed for who knows how long. overall rundown mess
Jeremy, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Not clean we had to vacuum ourselves and the bed linens were torn stain with holes! Also no am breakfast they said under repair for over a year if so this needed information should be known beforehand. Not very happy about this hotel.😛😭
Roberta, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room wasn’t very clean, one bed was dirty, toe nail clippings in the floor. There was no breakfast even though online it said there was.
Angela, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Lumpy, saggy mattress. A stray sock from the previous guest. A dim lobby. Trash and filth left in the hallway from construction crew doing renovations. A broken chair. No Kleenex (!!!). Not much to love here.
David, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

No hot water, stains on sheets and towels.
Travis, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all costs

The hotel is old and run down. But even run down can be kept clean. Carpet in the room was worn and stained. My wife opened a large towel after she showered and it was stained. House keeping was non existent. The day manager was asleep in the office several times On Hotels.com it advertised breakfast included. It was not unless a cup of coffee is considered a breakfast. Thanks to Hotels.com for helping us cancel the remainder of our reservation there and providing a credit as an apology
Ronsld, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very old building
joseph, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Goofy hotel that needs more work. On the plus side, it is affordable, has nice lobby, each room with fridge, microwave, safe and coffee maker. On the negative side, the furniture is old and worn out, rooms were marginally clean and the whole place needs serious upgrades.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Needed a quiet night, got a comfortable bed. All good, needs a better breakfast
Dick, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel ever. Staff she was very rude room was stinky and blankets were not even clean.
Bhawan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Where's the breakfast?

Chosen for free breakfast. There was no free breakfast. Old.
Clinton, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was a very run down motel. And the fact they had an early electronic check & still couldn’t clean the room is sad. The front desk person was very nice.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

First room was uninhabitable,second room was much better breakfast was disgusting, no swimming pool as advertised
Chris, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place was one heroin needle short of a trap house
Cody, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I walked in and walked out . Never even checked into room
Jennifer, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Nothing was quite old
Alan, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This hotel has been a staple for construction workers building Helena, not tourists and Capitol Hill yuppies. It’s unfortunate that the service has come to this…We as a company and many other will not be staying again.
James, 2-night trip
