The Grand Union is a gem. An iconic piece of Montana history, the renovated Grand Union combines historic charm with modern amenities and exceptional dining. Its setting on the banks of the Mighty Mo is both spectacular and soothing.

History at its best - real & comfortable

Long wanted to visit and expore Fort Benton, the historic terminus point for Missouri River steamboats bringing resources into the US and Canadian west. The Grand Union Hotel provided me with a beautiful and comfortable room and a charming buffet breakfast. I would happily stay there again.

My disappointment was pretty minor. I have stayed here before, and I love Fort Benton and this hotel. But for as much as they charge, customers should expect more than basic television. All I wanted to do was watch the NBA Playoffs, which was on TNT, and I couldn't get it. And those little coffee pots you normally find in hotel rooms are not expensive, either. But overall, I still love staying there.

Think Twice.

First, the hotel wouldn't take a $100 gift card our kids bought us. The clerk at the desk had an attitude of not my problem and if you don't like it, LEAVE. I stayed anyway after driving over 300 miles to get there. I was happy leaving after 3 days there and I didn't spend any more than I had to in that hotel. No meals, no extras, nothing. Then I called HOTELS.COM only to get someone that could barely speak ENGLISH and was no help at all. Not happy at all with the Grand Union or Hotels .Com

The hotel itself is well kept & the light fittings etc. are like they were back in the early days, but they look new. We assume there has been some considerable expense to update, but still be authentic. The bed was very comfortable, the elevator was fast & efficient & we felt that much caring went into making the rooms set up, pleasant, orderly & comfortable. The area around the hotel is amazing. It’s lovely to watch the river & enjoy the scenery around it. Parking was a bit of a problem for us as there could have been spaces available if two motorcycles had not parked so far apart they took up 3 spaces. It seems someone at the door of the hotel could remedy that problem during early check in hours. I guess a small frig in the rooms would take away from decor but it surely would have been nice to have a place to keep drinks cool during hot weather. We found it a bit inconvenient to have to get ice from the restaurant in the hours they are open. Over all……I wish we could have stayed longer. One nite us just not enough to enjoy all of the ambience there is in the hotel & surroundings.

We were excited to be staying at this historical, steamboat-era hotel in a typical Western town. However, our stay did not meet our rosy expectations. The room, looking out over main street (noisy at times), was small, dark and awkwardly laid out. The small bathroom was not updated for a while, and dark. And everywhere, there were little notes to remind guests that they would be charged for damages to towels or sheets or whatever. It did not feel welcoming and fun - and kind of dusty and not sparkling fresh. Coffee and a (delicious) muffin were served for guests in the morning, but the Lewis and Clark room where you had to go was dingy and again, dark. Our biggest problem occurred when we tried to have dinner at the hotel's restaurant. We had reservations and a great waiter, but after two hours of waiting we finally received our entrees and then one of them was inedible (all fat). We were not charged, but all in all the dinner was a total failure. Kitchen was completely overwhelmed. This was to be a special occasion stay for us and it really did not materialize. The back patio overlooking the river was lovely.

The staff could have been friendlier. I needed ice, and the only way to get it is to ask for it at the front desk. They have to go get it from the kitchen. Both times I asked for it, they seemed a little put off for me doing it.
