Red Lion Inn & Suites Missoula

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 01 Oct 2011 rated 9 out of 10.

No real complaints. Very nice rooms for the price. Very friendly staff.

Positives: It worked well for what I needed and a great price through Priceline.

Negatives: One of the rooms smelled a little musty. They immediately moved me to a different one that smelled better.

The motel was nice enough-the breakfast buffet claim was misleading. The maid service was excellent, but other employees were not very friendly. The pool and hot tub were closed although the site claimed they were open until November.

Positives: They left flowers in the room for our anniversary.

Negatives: The pool and hot tub were shut down and we got locked out of our room on second night and had to recheck in.

The hotel is an older hotel that has been updated. The room I had reserved wasn't cleaned by 5 PM. After waiting a few minutes they upgraded me to a double queen. The pool was filled with leaves and looked dirty. You could hear every time the other guests closed their doors since they are connected on a balcony. The smoking locations were right by the stairs, so you had no choice but to walk through the smoke. Wasn't a bad hotel, but it did not meet my star expectations and I would not have paid as much as I did again. Would stay there again for a better price.

Positives: Was easy to find City Brew coffee shop close by, near interstate.

Negatives: Pool was dirty, could hear ambulances from the ER, my room was not ready at 5 PM.

Decent location close to downtown. Ample room space and wonderful bed.

Positives: The bed.

Negatives: The breakfast was not well supplied -- out of bacon, 1 muffin, etc.

Off the beaten path. Older but updated facility. Restaurant choices were limited in the near vicinity of this motel. Nice continental breakfast included.

Positives: Doors opened directly to parking lot.

Negatives: Theme was a little old in style.

Convenient location to downtown Missoula and Airport, clean, and comfortable room. Family loved the continental breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Positives: Outstanding Continental breakfast!

Negatives: AC was a bit loud in room, but not unbearable.

We were planning only a one-night stay, passing through Missoula on our way to Seattle. Neither expected or needed anything more than a place to lay our heads for the night. This hotel was just fine for that purpose. No frills, but good price. Staff was very friendly and helpful and served a very good continental breakfast. We slept well and were satisfied with our choice.

Positives: Friendly, helpful staff, great continental breakfast.

Negatives: Older, not updated, awkward shower for tall husband.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 20 Jun 2009 rated 2 out of 10.

Hotel in dire need of a make over.

Positives: Convenient location.

Negatives: Room smelled moldy, shower floor scary.

I have stayed in two different Red Lions before and loved them. This one not as much. The pool and sauna were outside and that was not mentioned at all on-line or upon checkin. I would've chosen a different place for the trip I was on. This would still be a great choice for business traveling.

Positives: The room was nice.

Negatives: The pool and sauna were outside and it not advertised that way.

Upon arrival we were told free continental breakfast would end at 10:00, we arrived at 9:30 and not even a scrap was available. Room and staff were O.K.; however, I always check the drinking glasses in the rooms and one had not even been rinsed and had lipstick and who know what else all over it. It was a cold night in Montana and the heater took many hours to warm the room up enough that it was tolerable. For the price it was O.K., but some obvious disappointments as well.

Positives: Decent price, fairly clean.

Negatives: Dirty drinking glasses, poor heat, nearby railroad noise.

This is a nice hotel for a quick over night stay. This hotel is very near the hospital, and during a family illness my kids and I stayed here several times. The staff was always kind and courteous and rooms clean and comfortable. The breakfast selections could use some improvement though.

Positives: The hotel was very clean, and quiet, and staff was helpful and polite.

Negatives: There was not a wireless connection in the room.

This hotel was great for the price. The check in clerk was amazingly friendly and helpful. The rooms were beautiful and extremely clean. The pool was well maintained. It was a great experience. Until we tried to eat breakfast. The deluxe continental breakfast was not so much deluxe. A bowl of fruit and a waffle maker. And the line for the waffle maker was very long. Filled with uniformed hotel employees making themselves breakfast. As soon as another employee would walk into the breakfast room, they would automatically be given a place in line before the guests. We gave up and went to a dinner down the road. Because of this, unfortunately, we will not be back.

Positives: The check in clerk was wonderful. Very friendly.

Negatives: Morning staff issues.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 08 Sep 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Positives: Plenty of guest parking.

Negatives: Needs longer pool hours. Did not like location of hotel.

This hotel was a great value and really respectable. The staff when we checked in was really friendly and invited us to the early morning free breakfast 6-9am there were items left there after 9am for stragglers. The room was clean and they provide Bath and Body works samples as their soaps of choice! We requested and got a ground level room so we could easily move our items out of the car! Overall, very good and recommended if you need to pass though Missoula, MT.

Positives: Very clean and attractive, great free breakfast in the lobby.

Negatives: It is motel type where there are 2 levels and parking outside.

A good place to stay, comfortable and convenient location.

Positives: Clean room, nicely decorated. The 2 separate bathroom vanities was a nice feature. Comfortable beds.

Negatives: Pillows are too soft. There was a continental breakfast, but it was crowded as their space was limited and not much food to offer.

This hotel is a convenient place right off of I-90. It is an older motel but maintained well. Room is clean, breakfast (included) is quite adequate.

Positives: Location and quality.

Negatives: Maybe a bit dated, outside entry to room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 08 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Good place to stay. Clean. Located in the middle of everything. 50 yards form river. Great value.

Positives: For the price, it wasn't bad. Clean! comfortable. Good location.

Negatives: The breakfast was pretty bad, unless you stay with toast and cereal.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 06 Aug 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I stayed here several days to take the MT bar exam. The room was quiet and comfortable and the staff was very helpful and accommodating. Grocery store next door, easy access to downtown Missoula, trails, the river. No complaints.

Positives: Location, helpful staff.

Negatives: A fridge and microwave in the room would've been a huge help.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 04 Aug 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

This is an older hotel that has tried to keep up and stay nice and moderately succeeded. It's fairly convenient to the downtown area and this is a plus.

Positives: Bath & Body products in room; lots of pillows.

Negatives: Building was getting a little run down; a smoking area had an open door to a common area.
