Top University District Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Missoula

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, nice staff"

This Old Frat House

10/10 Excellent

"An amazingly unique experience! Aside from being super clean and organized, Jenny thought about anything a guest might need. I had a late arrival, and was welcomed like I was a family member, given a thorough tour and she even had food in the fridge for ME. The whole experience was warm and welcoming. Highly recommended!!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Missoula Airport

8/10 Good

"Room: Good. Clean sheets. One downside was handwash sink was outside bathroom. Breakfast: Good, value for money. Corridor: Bad, had smell of weed. The smell came after cleaning staff showed up in morning and I suspect one of them was smoker. Even if property is smokefree, is some had it before, them roaming around leaves smell."
