Really nice and new Red Lion. Great views of Flathead Lake. The staff was great. The location is great, with a restaurant connected and a coffee shop across the street. Our only complaint was that the air conditioner unit in our room was so loud that it would wake us every time it turned on. We are frequent travelers and never mind the sound of the ac units, but this had a high pitched whistling noise when it kicked on that was very startling.

Argh Is The Word

Dated property on the hill too far from Flathead Lake to even be noticed. While from staff was engaged and friendly, the price was about double what it was ever going to be worth. Rust and pitted stains in a 70’s old porcelain on steel tub with a shower that was questionable. Bed about as hard as they come. One of the worst lukewarm pre-cooked, pre-frozen, not really fully thawed-out, frozen pretend breakfasts-in-a-cellophane-pouch experiences you would ever have the unique displeasure of having to deal with. Argh is the word.

Super clean and modern. We went to breakfast and unfortunately all the food was gone when we got there but they did bring more out. During check in I’m assuming the manager wasn’t super professional. A gal was checking us in and I asked for 2 more keys for my kids and she was like you must return them all. Just not professional at all.
