The room was very clean, and we loved the lobby and room décor, as well as the espresso machine. However, if you’re looking for a quiet stay, this might not be the best choice. Our room was on the second level, and the walls were very thin, we could hear the TV from the neighboring room, their 5 a.m. alarm, and even most of the footsteps and occasional jumping from the room above us.

A wonderful experience...room was extremely clean and comfortable, and our stay was very quiet. Staff is so friendly and the ambiance of the lobby, stairwells, and rooms was a rustic western. Beautiful place that we would definitely choose again if we get back to Bozeman in the future!
