  : Bottom line is that this is where you ought to stay if you appreciate or want to appreciate historic Butte. Number one is the stepping back in time feel this hotel gives you with a very nice old lobby. They did a decent job upgrading the room to having a modern feeling inside this old fashioned place. The bar off the lobby was also pretty cool, I didn't get a drink there but I did walk through a few times. Parking lot was nice to have but I also street parked and there were plenty of spaces. Can walk from here to some uptown attractions as well as a few of the city's lively and eclectic bars. There's a "luxury travel and lifestyle blog" (not my usual vibe, tbh) called Lux Life London that wrote up this place, and Butte in general, and in my opinion absolutely nailed it, so google that if you want to know more. NOTE: this is about hotel side of the property not the motor inn.
  : Beware that they use portable air con units to cool the rooms. If you're not familiar with these, they are noisy and not very strong. When it's installed it's not very easy to open the window. Mine struggled with cooling but it was around 98 degrees outside. In time it got cool enough to sleep comfortably. I actually liked the noise and since it struggled to cool the room, it never hit the target temp, which means it never cycled between fan and AC, something I hate with hotel AC systems. Best improvement here would be to have mini fridges in the room.
