The 10 best hotels in Missoula, United States

July 14, 2022 Sheron Bogner

Peacefully tucked away in the heart of the northern Rocky Mountains, Missoula is the perfect spot for a weekend of history, culture and outdoor fun. Home to the University of Montana, one of the most architecturally distinguished academic institutions in the country, the city offers a number of intellectually stimulating attractions. Spend a few hours browsing through the exhibits at the Art Museum of Missoula or take a trip back in time at the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. The city's close proximity to three major rivers and acres of lush forest means visitors can also enjoy a host of recreational activities, from fly fishing and kayaking to hiking and biking. Missoula's historic downtown area has classic early-century buildings and boasts unique shops, galleries, fine dining and a lively nightlife. With kids in tow, don't miss Dragon Hollow, a magical playground that features an extraordinary hand-carved carousel.

Best Best Western Hotel in the US

Reviewed By Karen C

This was not my first stay at this location. It is THE BEST Best Western hotel that I have stayed in throughout the United States, hands down! The front desk staff is genuinely friendly and so helpful. My room was clean and updated. I even had a welcoming note from the housekeeper. The indoor pool, hot tub, and gym were very well maintained. Guy Smiley will make your free hot breakfast even more enjoyable. He will ensure your table is clean and sanitized before you sit down, greet you, keep your coffee refilled, and clear away the plates you have finished.

Nice room but unless you need to be near UM, very pricey

Reviewed By D B

Overall, I had a decent stay here in April 2022. I would return, though I'd check similar options in the area first. Here are my thoughts: GOOD - The room was reasonably clean. That's what matters more than anything. - Its not a new construction, as you can see in some ways; but it has been taken care of well. - Easily accessible from I-90. - Albertsons is practically next-door, for any food/grocery needs. - Less than a mile from University of Montana. NEUTRAL - If you care about the "fitness room" - it has 3-4 cardio machines, and an ab-crunch bench. That's it. BAD - The walkup rate was very high for a Comfort Inn. I'm not sure if this is the new post-Covid price hikes we see in many services, or if there was a convention in town, etc. I suppose if they are fully booked for whatever reason, raising the rate is normal. I don't blame the inn for this; its just business. The daily rate even now seems to fluctuate to 3x on some days. - Housekeeping insisted on cleaning my room before I checked out, and kept badgering me on when I would leave. Like many inns, they are pushed by management to get everything done quickly, even at the expense of the guest experience. They were vacuuming the hallway and making noise non-stop from 7am to 4pm. - Breakfast room: the girl tending to things was also "over-motivated" and tried to snatch my waffle out of my hands and do it her way. Very rude. Also, there were guests taking up tables long after their breakfast was over, for social hour, even as other guests arrived and had nowhere to sit. I realize that staff may not want to tell guests to leave, but having to take my breakfast back to my room because others are busy chatting on tables by themselves; is not what I paid this exorbitant room rate for. - The nearby train goes by about every 60-90 minutes, making noise. It is loudly audible from every room. Again - not the inn's fault, but something to keep in mind when considering staying here.

There are none of the amenities here that are listed on there website. And they don’t tell you before they take your money. When I looked for the restaurant they told me sorry they really should take that off the website. Since there’s no restaurant there’s no room service And of course no bar.
