Reviews for Western Inn Motel
Review 1:No air conditioning. Room very hotunless windows open. Plugs and light switches in poor repair. Not close to fast food.Breakfast served too late in morning.
Review 2:Staff were nice
Review 3:Very helpful and friendly staff. Great price! We only wanted to spend a night on our trip to Big Sky. We weren't looking for luxury or care about updated facility. The place is well taken care of.
Review 4:I didn't like the unattached headboard shoved behind the bed. Nor was I impressed with the poor attempts at drywall patches in the room and bathroom, and the fact that the balcony door has obviously been kicked in. I saw housekeeping the entire time I was there, yet not once did they stop at my room. The shower was rather dated and gross. The furniture was mis matched and the desks main drawer. Had no bottom In it.
Review 5:The gentleman who seems like he runs the place was spectacularly nice and extremely helpful in explaining the rules and procedures for the hotel as well as giving helpful suggestions on where to eat.
Review 6:We left a do not service while we were out. They did not respect our wishes. We did not like for them to come into our room while we were out. The inside safety lock was broken.
Review 7:Owner was arrogant. No coffee maker No ability to control heat or AC B'fast wasn't served till 7:30 when travelers are on the road.
Review 8:Clean room
Review 9:The motel is very obviously outdated. Room was small, and so was the shower. Breakfast was lacking real substance.
Review 10:The staff at the front desk upon check in and check out were super friendly! The location wasn't bad; fairly easy to get to, and was very quiet. Motel was clean and comfortable.
Review 11:The website does not state that there is a charge for pets. It says there are pet friendly rooms but no mention of a charge, however there is a $15 per day charge.
Review 12:We really liked the staff, from check in to breakfast, they were good.
Review 13:Bed was uncomfortable. Squeaked when you turned over. Room was hot even though air was on cold. The other room that our other guest were is was freezing. Bathroom run down missing a lot of trim and tiny shower.
Review 14:Breakfast was okay. But was not set up at start time.
Review 15:The extra latch to secure room broken. Latch to shower door broken. If you weight 200 lbs the mattress squeaked. There are cheap waterproof mattress pads that crunched as you moved. We had a room with 2 queens and it looked liked 1 bed did not get new sheets as it appeared someone had laid on it .
Review 16:The staff we very welcoming. It appears they are slowly remodeling. In the bathroom everything was up dated except for the shower.
Review 17:This pipes under the sink leaked out onto the floor if there was to much water down the sink at one time. The hangers and the shelve above them were thick with dust!!
Review 18:old and very smelly, I had a hard time staying there for one night but arrived late, otherwise would have gone to another hotel. Cushions were musty and I used towels instead, did not try shower or breakfast...price ridiculous for the quality!
Review 19:nice staff
Review 20:Most uncomfortable beds than any places we have stayed, very soft, noisy all night, all 6 of us could not sleep well at all. After add all taxes and service charges, they still over charged $25 more then Booking.com confirmed. It is much different than we stayed two years ago. The very rude old lady owner doesn't care about guests. Booking.com should have dropped the motel from it's list!
Review 21:The shower had hair all over the walls. The shower door wouldn't stay shut. The "queen" beds were actually full beds And were rock hard.I booked the room for $70 and paid $111 at check out!
Review 22:Would of nicer if there was direct access to rooms from outside. Very difficult carry luggage off of a motorcycle thru stairs and a hallway
Review 23:Very clean and comfortable.
Review 24:The bed was so high I had to use a chair to get up in! Breakfast was not so good, but ok.
Review 25:Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location. Guest laundry available.
Review 26:Room was basic with seemingly no updates in the last ten years ( doors and walls are paper thin) advertised airport shuttle is basically from 9a - 5p, which does no good outside those hours; no desk help available before 7:30a or after 10p
Review 27:Leaving
Review 28:The mold on the ceiling in bathroom.the wall paper pulling off the walls in the room. No light bulbs in the lamps.the bed was about 30yrs old and leaned to the right and I can go on and on ....
Review 29:The staff was great and friendly..
Review 30:The outside of this motel is deceiving. Be prepared for a huge disappointment upon entering the room(s). We had two rooms, neither was in the appropriate condition to charge money for.
Review 31:The staff was very friendly.
Review 32:Breakfast started serving very late - not ideal for travelers who leave early
Review 33:The staff was wonderful - a member of our party was on crutches and they bent over backwards to make sure that everything was accessible, even switching our room. Friendly and knowledgeable about the town.
Review 34:They need to do a lot of repair work and replace furniture with not and not used. The one lounge chair in my room was in very bad shape and it was obvious that it came out of their own unite.
Review 35:the bed was good
Review 36:Biggest ripoff ever! Really Dirty, old, run down, "breakfast" was a joke. Worst place I have ever stayed and I paid more than I usually do! Do not make the mistake odd booking this dump!
Review 37:Staff was friendly
Review 38:It's an older property, very clean but amateurishly repaired. I know because I am a landlord.
Review 39:Very friendly staff and good price. Very close to downtown.
Review 40:Don't even know where they could improve.
Review 41:The night people were awesome and friendly. Rooms were clean and nice. Showers were hot. Lots of channels on the TV and free WiFi.
Review 42:very pleasant stay. the management was really helpful and friendly even though we showed up late. This is an older motel which has been maintained and upgraded well. Not the Hilton, but excellent value for the price.
Review 43:I checked out two days early because of a change in business schedule. Thwy refused to refund me the money for the remaining two nights. He blamed tne booking.com website.
Review 44:Nothing.
Review 45:Management was rude; uncooperative. We understood we would not receiveour money back, but did expect to get our pet deposit back. Even thoughthe dog had not been on the premises, and they had made no changes toaccommodate a dog, they kept the fee they charged for her.
Review 46:It was dirty; not what would be considered a nice place to stay; it wasold and worn out.
Review 47:There was a roach in our room and when I asked for a refund, the owner's wife insisted they didn't have roaches. She asked to see it and said it was a "light bug" which had been drawn to the room light. The curtains had been closed, so I didn't really understand that. She then carried the bug out to the lobby to show her daughter. It's was very strange, especially when she showed the bug to other guests.
Review 48:The owner knew quite a bit about the area.
Review 49:Mice, broken furniture, the toilet had the "sanitary seal" which when broken revealed p and pubes from whom ever suffered there before us. The management displays a sign about "disturbances" & when I complained about the room I was accused of ,actually yelled at by the male owner, that i was a "disturbance" & asked to leave no refund. $605 for my husband to contract MRSA he is still recovering.....stay away!!!
Review 50:The location was perfect for where I had to go. The parking lot was paved.
Review 51:dirty/ moldy? bathrooms; room carpeting gross; didn't have HBO as advertised, did have Starz & Encore though. Remodeling painters couldn't be bothered to keep paint marks off of what appeared to be new room number signs...
Review 52:comfortable bed; had mini-fridge, if I'd have need of one; had a balcony; nice tree-lined streets in area. Hallway carpeting being redone; evidence of remodeling underway.
Review 53:The TV was just a pain ...you had to go through set up which was ridiculous, no instructions had to call the front desk...still did not work...took 15 minutes to get it to work.
Review 54:Staff was good
Review 55:They're in the middle of a renovation. It's a no frills motel, but very clean. FYI I had a 79.99 room and ended up paying $110 (the cat fee was 10.99 and then a bunch of taxes) and I had to sign a paper saying I wouldn't let him on the bed or I'd have to pay more money for them to clean the sheets and blanket (Umm shouldn't you be cleaning it anyway??) It was clean and a decent place to stay but not worth $110.
Review 56:Free wifi, accepts pets
Review 57:I had to fix the curtains in my room, because they were not hanging right
Review 58:I was running late, really late. The clerk was waiting for me and made check on a breeze. In the morning the clerk was equally as plesent. The way I was treated was awesome.
Review 59:Bed was broken tailboard,thermostat was broken,ice machine was out of order,cost was more than when booked. If cancellation fee was not so high, we would have left.
Review 60:Was not told in advance that motel was under renovations both outside and inside. Also there was run/walk event held one morning of our stay that impacted our ability to exit the blocks surrounding the motel.
Review 61:Last time we stayed we were upstairs. I would much prefer those upstairs rooms to what we had this time. We had an adjoining room to someone with a dog and every time we moved it would start to bark. Looked like the room was still being renovated.
Review 62:Staff are always friendly. Bed is always comfy and parking usually isn't too hard to find. For the most part it quiets down pretty well at night (surrounding area).
Review 63:Surroundings are noisy. My room had no working air conditioniung. That bed was way taller than average. The furniture were worse than average. Nothing matched.
Review 64:The room was clean, had a refrigerator and a microwave.
Review 65:Staff was rude, the room dirty, smells so bad, had to sleep with the window open! Sheet dirty with the hauls in it, bathroom had mold from the sealing to the floor. If I could record the conversation at a front desk, I could make a national news, that how rude and unpleasant the woman was! FDA have to come and see it to believe it!
Review 66:Location, everything else was a night mare!
Review 67:motel was under construction & a drunk guy came out of 1 the rooms & tried to buy a cigarete from me after digging thru the ash tray on side walk & started making comments about the tires in my truck n how much good used tires are worth. asked for money to be credited back to my card was told no so I whent to different motel
Review 68:nothing
Review 69:Construction odors in the room lingered. Restroom had mold and shower door did not close. I suspect that all of the rooms are being upgraded based on the construction materials in the hallway - good luck and make significant improvements before renting out the same room.
Review 70:I didn't like anything about this hotel.... mold in shower holes in walls and old sheets and pillows.... cigarette burns on furniture. If I was you I would remove from your listing
Review 71:Towels were well worn Too high bed Couldn't adjust room temperature
Review 72:Bed was comfortable once I was able to get into it I am short and had to use a chair in order to get into it
Review 73:Location is not convenient. Lots of construction going on, hopefully to improve and update the hallways and access points from the parking lot into the building.
Review 74:Staff was very positive
Review 75:Owner charged more than the Booking.com guaranteed price. When I called to find out why we were being charged so much, he told us to contact booking.com and hung up each time we called. Our friend got charged for 10 night when he only requested 4 night and only stated 2 nights. Staff was very rude.
Review 76:Bathroom floor was filthy and vanity was in serious need of repair. Mismatched paint on bathroom walls. Curtains did not cover windows. Paint and plaster dust on carpet.
Review 77:Wi fi
Review 78:My son and I were returning from a family wedding in mn and had driven800 miles; we were exhausted. I was disappointed to see the room had notub, just a shower. The security lock on the door was broken. There wereholes in the bathroom wall from screws. And the beds were broken down,my son's actually squeaked when he sat on the edge. About 10:30 pmwhen he went to the bathroom and then opened the shower door to take alook. Ants were crawling all over the bottom of the shower and upseveral inches on the sides. He immediately called the front desk. Theyoffered to come and spray. We said we were too tired, let it go untilafter we had checked out. Then as we thought about it, we realized theyknew all about the ants; and this was confirmed by the comments aboutants in the summer discussed further in this review. These ownersapparently had no qualms about spraying a shower with ant killer so someunsuspecting traveler could step in and turn on the water to mix withant killer and be absorbed into his skin . . . if that your idea of agood hotel, then register and enjoy. Booking.com website appears toalways say there is only one room left at its special price anyway. Whenwe complained and asked for a discount on our room because we could nottake a bath, the ants became our fault. Why didn't we tell themabout the ants when we first checked into the room? The man and womanwho owned the hotel appeared to be from India where animals are sacred.That may explain the comment of the man owner who said "ANTS areanimals." I thought they were insects. The woman said we hadprobably trashed the room when we left. I said let's go check theroom right now. They wouldn't do it. That's when the woman ownersaid, "We have ants in the summer, not the winter." Oh,really, then the zero degree weather must mean summer has arrived. Onthat unhappy note, we left.
Review 79:The time of serving breakfast was short and late so we were not able to ever get any while at the motel. The price quoted by the booking agent was not the same as I was charged.
Review 80:The price and the management were both good. The location to downtown was good, but it was hard to find a parking spot because of the construction.
Review 81:The old shower head. Price quoted online was less than what we actually paid. We will not stay here again.
Review 82:The new shower head which was replaced when the original was inoperable.
Review 83:Pillows were like sleeping on rocks. They are in the middle of remodel and there was paint on the carpets and the counters in the bathroom were falling a part.
Review 84:The staff was very friendly. The beds were comfortable. Everything was fairly clean. There was a nice fridge, microwave and tv. Staff was not to helpful if you had problems with the equipment.
Review 85:The room was filthy dirty. Mold in and around shower. Debris on floor and under beds. Towel rack hanging loose from wall. Room had obviously not been cleaned. There was a strong odor of paint and stale cigarette smoke in room and hallway (non-smoking area). Hallway carpet was dirty.
Review 86:Nothing!
Review 87:Everything
Review 88:This was the worst place I have ever stayed at. The staff was rude a d the rooms were discussing and uncomfortable. I woul never recommend it or ever stay there again. Who doesn't have staff there 24/7 in case you get locked of room c use those keya are worthless. This place was horrible
Review 89:The parking lot is tiny. We had a truck with a trailer and had to park across the street. Our room could have been cleaner. There was one of those sticky pad mouse traps by our door. The shower was tiny and gross. The water pressure sucked. The toilet had stains in it. Our remote barely worked. What we paid was way too much.
Review 90:The only good thing about our stay was the wifi.
Review 91:The headboard wasn't secure and banged on the wall every time we moved...The soda machine on our floor was empty...The shower door didn't latch and stay closed,,,
Review 92:Little mildew in shower, noise of being downtown, the safety lock from the inside was non existent.
Review 93:We needed a no frills place to sleep. We arrived very late and were off very early. It's very hard to justify tossing down more than a hundred dollars (at other places) for a comfortable, clean stay. The value for the money was awesome! The bed... Super comfy.
Review 94:The room was incredibly dirty. There were stains, cigarette burns, and ice melt all over the floor. The blanket on the bed was covered in dog and human hair. The microwave was splattered with food. Dust covered every surface. We got a good rate on the room, $74 including tax, but we could have received a better deal and a clean room at Motel6.
Review 95:The only thing that was pleasant about our stay at The Western Inn was the man who checked us out. He was very kind and advised us of road conditions. His kindness and consideration were very much appreciated.
Review 96:Checked in late, staff was rude, it was obvious that the criminal element rented by the week, and the room was awfully filthy...It was below zero outside or we would have left immediately.. We couldn't wait for the sun to come up so we could leave
Review 97:We had mold and mildew all over in our shower. I wouldn't let my child shower in that. Behind the bathroom for want cleaned for months it looked like. Would not stay again.
Review 98:Apparently if you check in after midnight there is a late check in fee. Also you apparently are required to inform the hotel if you are going to check in after 7. None of which I knew. I was coming back from my father's funeral the staff was so rude I thought she wasn't going to let me in. And since my flight was delayed I asked for a late check out and I was informed 1130 was the latest or my card would be charged another night. I wouldn't stay at this hotel again if I was told a serial killer was staying at every other hotel in town. I would take my chances.
Review 99:The $64.00 cancel fee on a reservation I didn't mean to make is ridiculous and the bedding was old and worn, there was blood on the curtains, and the bathroom was moldy looking.
Review 100:The staff was wonderful an very sweet, and very ca and understanding.
Review 101:the motel was under roof construction with workers actually working and hammering on the roof , all of that was not disclosed at the time of booking . the owner was extremely rood . worst experience in a long time
Review 102:There was much that was in disrepair, namely the air conditioner. The beds were horribly uncomfortable; I woke with an aching back each morning. The hotel itself is challenging to get to as it is in the middle of a series of one-way streets.
Review 103:The maid service was prompt and did a good job of cleaning up.
Review 104:Didn't like the old and dirty carpet - was glad I took my slippers so I didn't have to put my feet down on it during my night trips.
Review 105:Ease of check in, friendliness of check in clerk, quietness of room, comfort of bed, and the price was right. It would be nice if all the taxes were included in the stated price.
Review 106:The price was low, until they added a few taxes, a 'service charge' and highest pet charge in 1 wk of travel. By the end it was 40% higher than advertised. Room was awful. Couldn't wait to leave.
Review 107:Location
Review 108:Dirt in the corners of bathroom. Cops came to call on a room just downthe hall. Could never figure out how to get the tv to work.
Review 109:Location was ok. Kind of seedy neighborhood. Nice office staff. Greatwifi service
Review 110:No elevator and my husband has difficulty walking distance and we were on the second floor. Room was warm and no A/C that I could find. Opened the window but had to close as to windy and doors ratted
Review 111:Some up grading was done but definitely an older hotel. Bed was comfortable however was very high. It was a good thing that there was a bed rail on the side otherwise I would have had trouble getting into bed
Review 112:The heavy smell of cleaning agents - but open the windows and turn on the fan and go for a walk and enjoy the balcony.
Review 113:A short walk to a food coop called Good Earth with an exceptional deli and friendly staff:) I just stayed one night but if you were to stay longer they had everything to make the stay comfortable - refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, ironong board, hairdryer, etc. And the room had a nice little balcony and functioning windows:)
Review 114:I have some minor disabilities, got in very late at night, and the staff was really helpful. They assisted me to a room, modified the room assignment to make it easier for me, and went above and beyond to assist me the following morning. Very polite and courteous. When in Billings, this is where I'll stay.
Review 115:The TV was a bit confusing to operate as there were two remotes and no instructions. I had to call the front desk to help get channels.
Review 116:I LOVED the bed...it was so comfy and clean. The room was nicely furnished and loved the refrigerator and microwave. Good job!
Review 117:It's an older hotel and the bathrooms could use an update but they were not bad-just old. There is no elevator to the 2nd floor but found this to be the case in several places we stayed during this trip.
Review 118:The staff was very friendly and very helpful. The location was great as you can walk into town or get onto the freeway with ease.
Review 119:the shower had mold on the walls the towel bar was loose and the air cond was turned off for the season and the room we had was on the west side od the sun made the room rather warm by late afternoon when trying to tell the clerk the problems he said he didn't want to hear about it we felt he was vey rude none of the other workers were they were helpful and cheery
Review 120:parking was good location was convenient and it was mostly quiet.
Review 121:The room was filthy, and the sewer had backed up into the shower. We were moved to another room, there was urine at the base of the toilet in that room. The cleaning staff was rude, she told me if I didn't like it that we should go someplace else. Yes she did say that! The front desk staff lied to Bookings.com, told them that we checked in before 4 in the afternoon and in essence we had booked in after 9 pm, went out for a bite to eat, came back to the room did the inspection and went to the desk and put our concerns forward. We were blamed for making the room filthy, when in essence we spent 10 minutes in the first room and only about 5 in the 2nd room. Bookings should be ashamed to have them on their list of hotels.
Review 122:the bed was comfortable
Review 123:Bathroom floor was not clean enough for me; a couple of other things needed fixed or adjusted.
Review 124:Professionalism of check in. No smoking on the premise. Everything was neat and orderly; a couple of things needed fixed or adjusted and were promptly addessed
Review 125:Return trip we stayed and the bed was old, hard, had bugs (should have been burnt). Bathrooms were filthy both trips (shower tile, corners and wall edges). Ice machine was not working. When staff were told of this I was told, "hunh, there's a store down the street..."
Review 126:With Booking.com, room was good (clean, bed was good)
Review 127:it's a great value for the money; little, older place, but the rooms are great, furnishings are nicer than the minimum they could get away with, and location near downtown is good. I had my dog, and they didn't charge an arm and a leg for her.
Review 128:Sugary breakfast. Nowhere to eat it - in the small reception with guests wheeling bags through it.
Review 129:Close to downtown. Although not much there. Balcony. Quiet. Security good. Friendly staff.
Review 130:Needs updating, and better cleaning. Dirty baseboards that were coming off the walls in the bathroom, dingy old green carpet, nasty blankets that I had to put on the floor before I touched the bed. I went to open the curtains in the room and the whole curtain rod fell off. Just cheaply done.
Review 131:Front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming.
