Top University District Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Missoula, MT

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, and staff upon check in very pleasant. This being a cheaper hotel you have to remember there are few amenities. We had only 2 towels in the room, no Kleenex, small TV screen, terrible pillows and you hear thru the walls, but for the price it’s a great place to stay,"

Gravity Haus Missoula

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and comfortable. I did miss the makeup remover wipes as I had forgotten to bring my own. We opted out on purchasing the robes, cups, and canvas bag. We didn't want to use the real cups in case we would get charged so plastic throw aways would have been good. The gentleman at the desk when we arrived was super nice and helpful and even got us plastic utensils at no charge when our Outback order sent none. We did not realize we would be charged almost $30.00 for Missoula Destination fee, Resort fee, and Montana lodging facility use and sales tax. I would have maybe chosen a different place to stay. We don't stay over alot so maybe these fees are normal and we just dinner know. As we were leaving a vagrant wanted to get in the building as we were leaving and so we waited till he left to go out the door. Another guest told us there was issues with the vagrants previously. th"
