Must-see hotels in Montana

  • Hillcrest Cottages

    Montana

    This slightly cramped mini-village features a variety of pleasant if old-fashioned 1950s-era cottages. Most come with kitchenettes and sleep two to seven.

  • Alpine Motel

    Montana

    Well-maintained and spacious rooms are the hallmark of this good-value motel with laundry facilities, family suites and discounted spring and fall rates.

  • Greek Creek Campground

    Bozeman & Gallatin Valley

    Doubles as a fishing access site, 31 miles south of Bozeman, with a total of 15 sites on both sides of the highway. Western riverside sites fill early.

  • Downtowner Inn

    Montana

    Cozier than the chain motels that line Hwy 93 south of Whitefish, the cheerful Downtowner has spacious rooms, friendly staff and a morning bagel bar.

  • Cherry Tree Inn

    Montana

    A good-value option with a central location and furniture that is less retro than dated – think satin sheets and tired leather sofas.

    Nothing flash here, but good-value motel rooms with refrigerators, some with kitchenettes, in a quiet part of town.
