Great simple stay. Looks like new owners making some investments. I did enjoy the stash of clean rags with a note to use them with abandon on really dirty stuff to keep their nice new bathroom towels clean.
It’s a great hotel and I stayed during the winter and caught snow storm while I was traveling to havre,MT. Very friendly owner and the room was great. I would stay there again.
Spent a week here during deer season and could not have been happier with the cleanliness. Warm room, hot water, satellite tv, and a nice little kitchen is sure appreciated when temps are hovering around 0. Would 10000% stay here again.
The perfect motel on the way to Glacier National Park! The hospitality was exceptional! Very friendly checkin and was kind enough to provide ice when requested for a sprained ankle. The shower was hot and the beds were comfy! The location is prime time as it’s only 4.5hrs from Glacier National Park! There are a couple of museums nearby if you are looking to explore Malta, and a tasty pizza place conveniently close. The motel’s mascot Leo provided an extra bonus as this sweet cat greeted us each time we went outside! All in all it was an exceptional stay!
Seems to be newly updated. Nice, comfortable beds. Full refrigerator and stove for extended stays. Kitchen is fully stocked with plates, cups, silverware, etc. Great accommodations for dogs! Small fee for the dog, but very accommodating. There's a patch by the sign out front where they water the grass for dogs to use. My 17 year old son said as far as motels go, this is the nicest one he's ever stayed!
This place has a nice cozy cabin feel to it and the owners are really nice. Also, my one "room" has a full kitchenette and the bedrooms!!!
Comfortable one night stay while traveling US route 2. Beds and the room were clean and had everything we needed. I actually enjoyed being able to watch trains go by right from the room window. They are infrequent enough that the noise wasn't an issue. Walls are a bit thin however, the family next door was arguing and could hear them very clearly.
We got the last room available which happened to be a 3 bedroom with kitchen which would be great for a family. The room had some updates but still need some. It was a good place to spend a night. It was a good value and the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
