Beds extremely comfortable, helpful and kind staff and great breakfasts. Great price for receiving wonderful service / appreciate not paying for the extras when all the basics are so well taken care of!

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Missoula - Edgewater
It was nice. Nothing extra special. Paid extra for a balcony room, thinking it would be on the river. It wasn’t. Our Balcony overlooked the street. Hallways smelled like old cigarette smoke. TV channel options were minimal. Not worth the $200. Plus, $20 to park in the parking lot.
