The young college girl that checked us in was soooo nice. She talked about the area and gave us some great places to visit after taking the time to ask what we are interested in. Very comfortable, lean and quiet.

From the outside it looks like a 1950s roadside motel but the room was completely remodeled with a walk in shower. Good quiet AC and a small refrigerator and water heating pot. I'd stay here again

It was a last-minute decision to book a hotel. We booked through Hotels.com and didn't know what to really expect. We got in late. The staff was very friendly. We checked in to our room which was clean and very comfortable. This is a no-frills hotel. We had a corner unit. It was quiet. We would stay again.

Older motel that has been updated nicely. Well-situated for downtown walking and for river walks. Some reviewers have mentioned train noise. I did not hear any, but yes, it's not far to the railroad tracks. You can make instant coffee in the room or use pods in the lobby, where there are cereal bars. I'll stay here again. Good place, good price.

If you need a lot of amenities, this may not be the choice for you. The City Center Motel offers a clean room, hot shower, and a comfortable bed at a great rate. You can walk to downtown for dining and shopping. We stay here whenever we’re in Missoula.
