Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Rooms are clean and well equipped. The staff is nice. The check in is 2 blocks down the street from the address of the hotel as stated by a note on the window of the actual hotel.It would have been nice to know this before driving all day and being at the wrong address than check in. We called 24 hours in advance to confirm the reservation but was not told that the hotel address is not the same as the check in address.

Room was dingy. Dust and grime on edges near windows and shower entry. No staff of property for check in. Had to go 2 blocks to another business to ask for soap and shampoo. Overpriced tiny motel with thin walls and limited parking

I want to be truthful in this review. It just was not a good place to stay. I was in room 4. First of all, it is right next to train tracks. A loud freight train passes through what feels like every hour, even at night. It is really hard to ignore, especially when you’re a light sleeper. Check-in was also strange. There is no front desk or staff on site. You have to walk down the block to a grocery store to get your key. Maybe that is normal for the area, but as someone from a city, it caught me off guard. The room itself had several issues. The glass door on the shower was not secure. It moved up and down like it was not properly installed. The doorknob to the room also felt unsafe, it rotated no matter which way you turned it, so you could not tell if it was actually locked—you had to open the door and check from the outside. The toilet seat also had strange scratches and looked like it had not been replaced in a long time. It just did not feel clean or taken care of. I have been on a road trip from Denver to Seattle, stopping through the national parks, and out of all the places I have stayed, this was by far my least favorite. The owner did seem very kind, which is the only reason I am giving this two stars instead of one. But I would not stay here again. Just being honest.
These glass was not properly secure and would move up and down
This ring of scratches went around the toilet seat

It is a good room, but rather dated. Needs some upgrades. I stayed for only 1 night, so it was alright. It's probably best for a solo traveler who is looking for a night or two.

A bit crusty (everything is around there, wild west feel) but clean, large room. Owner is a great guy, connected to the store that is within walking distance so its all very homey and conveniant. East access to Two Medicine.

Very small room,under 12 x 12 room with a 4 x5 bathroom. Knees hit the wall when sitting on the toilet and in only 5 ft 10 in. Check in was 2 blocks away. Not enough parking. Lack of eating places. Many trains passing kept us awake. Worst hotel in a long time.
