There was plenty of parking right at the property. Lots of pubs and restaurants right up the street within walking distance. Certainly nothing fancy, but for a convenient stay it worked for me.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When I arrived to check in for my reservation, just after 7 pm, there was a sign on the door saying ‘15 minutes.’ I stood around for a bit and then realized the sign was up before I got there, and it had to be getting on about fifteen minutes, so I rang the bell. Another five minutes or so later, the person working the desk emerged from the bathroom, or whatever, and they were profoundly high. They started right in bawling me out that the sign said fifteen minutes. I even apologized at first, but they kept on, “*mumbles something* fifteen minutes for a reason *mumble, mumble*,” so I said I’d changed my mind, and I hoped the desk attendant would have a better night. I hope we all have a better night.

Guy at the front desk was really rude, he tried to be intimidating. It was laughable some fat tatted dude from Helena is the least scary thing I've ever seen Didn't realize when I booked it but it is right across from the homeless shelter in Helena. Was super noisy all night, and pretty sketchy
