Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was excellent and very clean. Our room didn't have a bench for our suitcases, but staff brought us an extra luggage rack right away. Breakfast was OK and typical for the free breakfast offerings. Location is excellent. We could get to all of the places we planned on seeing very easily.

Really nice and new Red Lion. Great views of Flathead Lake. The staff was great. The location is great, with a restaurant connected and a coffee shop across the street. Our only complaint was that the air conditioner unit in our room was so loud that it would wake us every time it turned on. We are frequent travelers and never mind the sound of the ac units, but this had a high pitched whistling noise when it kicked on that was very startling.

Argh Is The Word

Dated property on the hill too far from Flathead Lake to even be noticed. While from staff was engaged and friendly, the price was about double what it was ever going to be worth. Rust and pitted stains in a 70’s old porcelain on steel tub with a shower that was questionable. Bed about as hard as they come. One of the worst lukewarm pre-cooked, pre-frozen, not really fully thawed-out, frozen pretend breakfasts-in-a-cellophane-pouch experiences you would ever have the unique displeasure of having to deal with. Argh is the word.
