"Expectations from this BUDGET motel were met. It is an older establishment that appears as though some areas are being updated (?) That said, the walls between the rooms are paper thin so you better enjoy the conversations and TV shows your neighbors are involved in. OVERALL, I don't see myself in Helena, Montana in the near future.....but if I am, I would probably look at this motel if I needed a budget/cheap place to rack out for a night or two."
