I judge a motel room by pillows and water pressure. Both were excellent in this location. I didn't see it for myself but I heard that the pool was under construction. And the restaurant was in a weird place, and had a bar/casino across from it.

I booked a room and paid and they called the day of check-in and said I booked a room that didn’t exist. They had no other rooms to offer and then asked if they should cancel my reservation, even though I didn’t have a room. They should not let me book and pay if they did not have a room.

It was a wonderful stay in Helena! The staff were the most friendly and helpful hotel staff we have ever encountered! The room was clean, beds were comfortable, and the showers were hot. What more could you ask for? Oh! The breakfast was great next door at The Crooked Frog.

We were on a trip from Texas to Canada and reserved the room while driving. The hotel was very easy to find. The gentleman at the reception was very friendly and recommended a close by restaurant. The room was clean, quiet and we had a great restful sleep.

Everything was great except....shower water pressure was beyond awful. I understand the concept of saving water but my shower had to be twice as long as normal (just to rinse off) thus...wasting more water. People look forward to a nice refreshing shower when traveling but this is not it.
