Road tripping across Montana is a great way to see more of the beautiful state we call home. And on those nights when you need to rest your head without spending a fortune on a five star hotel, a simple roadside motel can be downright welcoming. These places may not feature luxurious amenities, but they all have character and offer all the comforts of home.
1. Mountain Pine Motel, Highway 49, East Glacier Park
For years, the Mountain Pine Motel has been a favorite stop for guests on their way to Glacier National Park. Rooms are simple, quiet, and clean, and the rooms have flatscreen TVs, microwaves, refrigerators, coffee pots, and free WiFi. Rates start at just $72 in the off season.
Bozeman's old Rainbow Motel has just been renovated and renamed the RSVP Motel, and it's amazing. RSVP stands for Relax, Stay, and Vacate and Play, and the unique European furnishings and inviting pool will make you want to do just that. There's even an onsite cafe called The Farmer’s Daughters, where you can enjoy fresh, locally sourced food.
This simple no-frills motel has recently been renovated. Staying here means you'll be within walking distance of restaurants, downtown shopping, and even hiking trails, and the rooms are equipped with WiFi and cable TV.
4. City Center Motel, 338 E. Broadway St., Missoula
This classic 1950s motel is now the best value in Missoula. The simple, clean rooms offer a comfortable place to sleep, and the neighborhood is charming.

This peaceful property may be located near the highway, but all you'll hear during your stay is the tranquil sound of the Clark Fork River. Amenities include WiFi, air conditioning, picnic areas, and plenty of nearby nature trails.
A stay at one of these properties never disappoints. And if you’re looking for a place to spend the night that won’t break the bank, look no further than this list.
