Very nice hotel, staff was eager to please us, very clean, in expected extras,. Rooms were large enough that we could have drinks and a movie with our friends without being too crowded. Would consider a return visit.
Check in was flawless, facility was what you would expect for the price charged. Other people in the property were good neighbours so we have no negative things to report.
Quite comfortable for the cost. The beds were amazing yet dont expect anything aside of a quiet and clean room with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and comfortable bedding. The location may turn you away but id stay there again in a heart beat. Bravo!
It was perfect , awe had spent three days in a plush Grand Targhee resort in Wyoming and it was terrible . No microwave or AC. We left early and drove through the night and Sandman was exactly what we needed. Quaint , Quiet pleasant . Sipping coffee every morning out front and eating Wild Cherries was perfect
Great value for your money! Room was wonderful and very well maintained.

The bed is comfy and check in went smooth. Fourth of July weekend so the hotel was booked and you can hear EVERYTHING your neighbors say. Motel is going thru a face lift & my room had disheveled corner of unopened to be installed mirror/iron/ironing board.
This was a nice little find on our trip through Montana. It wasn't fancy or 5 star quality, but if you're reading this review then you aren't looking for 5 star quality. But the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. We had no issues with the room
This is the cutest little place. Mickey was the greatest she made sure that we were comfortable at all times. Loved the old town feel of the place nice, clean, great price.
This motel was great. Don’t be fooled by the older looking sign out by the road! It was updated clean and the family was very nice. Air conditioner worked great and price was reasonable!
