A stay at the Sportsman Lodge in Melrose, Montana is good for the soul. Wonderful scenery and a quiet place to enjoy the beauty of the State. Ken and Bonnie hit it out of the park again, on my last visits in July of 2023. The owners and staff are friendly and accommodating. Melrose is a great place for me to break from a long trip from Nevada to Montana. They never disappoint. Stayed in the main cabin and the Lodge on the way back. The Lodge now has a restaurant and bar, so every thing a person will need for a restful break. I highly recommend a stay at the Sportsman.
The room was very nice . The bed was comfortable and linen was in good condition. We had an interior facing room so it was very quiet . We didn’t try any of the hotel amenities since we checked in late and left early . We did try the free breakfast offering . We were pleasantly surprised the quality and variety of food available to choose from . We almost didn’t even go look since at most hotels it is an unpleasant ( gross ) experience. It was very clean in the food area and the food was good ( come on it is free and a buffet but it was actually good ! ) All the employees were very nice we encountered.
We stayed here for one night on our way north. I used points and the required amount for one night was about twice what I needed to do the same thing two nights ago in Lamar, Co. I guess maybe because it’s tourist season? Both properties were very similar in amenities and quality so it wasn’t like Butte was a higher end hotel. This property is nice. Kept up reasonably well. Our room was clean and spacious though there were a couple of things missing. One was a small frig. That seems to have become almost standard any more. The prior two nights we had one and had just gotten used to it. The other thing was no USB ports. Those aren’t as common as the frogs but more and more places have them and should. Adding them is trivial in both cost and effort and who these days doesn’t use electronics and needs to charge them? But there were plenty of A/C outlets and we had our adapters. One other thing I’ll mention, though not an issue for us, is that we got a handicap accessible room. Ever since I travelled with my dad when he became elderly, I tend to notice things I never did before. Lie there was no seat in the shower and that’s important for someone that can stand for extended periods. The shower might be considered “walk-in” but there was a 2-3” lip that one has to step over to get in. That can be a big deal for some people. And the shower head was very high so unreachable by someone needing to hold on to a walker or that even is just short. The night previous, we also had a handicap accessible room and it had a zero-lip walk-in shower, a fold-down seat and a hand-held wand. Just things to consider if you’re either advertising a room to be handicap accessible or if you’re needing a handicap accessible room. Ok, back to the review…The room was fine. We slept well though the pillows were the extremely soft kind where your head just sinks down into it. We like those that are firmer and offer some support. Again, the last two nights, the places we stayed had one of each on each side of the bed so you could choose your preference. The breakfast here was the best of all the places we stayed on this trip. Coffee, two kinds of omelettes, bacon, biscuits and gravy, pancakes (make your own), cereal, bread, fruit, yogurt, juice, etc…And a nice large dining area. They also had newspapers available for anyone that wanted one. The people at the front desk, both on check-in and check-out were friendly and helpful. There’s always things that can be improved but overall, this was a good choice and I’d have no problem staying here on a future trip.

The LaQuinta Inn at Butte has friendly and welcoming staff. We were greeted by happy, smiling faces who welcomed us in from a cold and stormy evening. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable, and the room had all the amenities one would hope to find in their hotel. There are many fine choices for restaurants in the area. In the morning we found a hot breakfast waiting downstairs. As we were leaving the staff member at the desk inquired about our day's plans, offered a few suggestions, and wished us to have a wonderful day and safe travels.
We made a reservation through the Wyndham phone App guaranteed for late arrival with a credit card. Upon arrival we were informed that there was not a room available. The clerk was dismissive and not at all apologetic. He said that since we booked on the App, they didn't have to recognize the reservation and we should have made it directly with the hotel. Wyndham should drop this hotel from their list of properties. We were referred to 2 other Wyndham properties and they were both full. Sleeping in the car was not on the travel plan, but it was 11pm and we were tired. The next day my credit card was charged as a no show. It took 2 weeks and several phone calls to get a refund. I would not recommend this property to anyone. Having a reservation means nothing to them! Stay somewhere else.
