Right off the highway pets allowed plenty of space for your furry kids or the real kind lol they welcome you. It is a MOTEL not a hotel so please know the difference so you don’t expect a fancy best western inn it’s a place to sleep comfortably and very quiet. Thank you.

I'm baffled by some of these reviews. During my experience the receptionist was friendly, the room was good, the rate was great and everything felt safe. If people want to waste $179 on more glitz and glamour, go find a Holiday Inn Express. I was happy to find the Riverside Inn.

Just a clean solid place to stay with no extras. Way better than a Motel 6 hole!

Five stars based on what you get for the cost. It is not the Ritz, nor does it try to be. It is clean, friendly people, park right by your door and quiet. The air, refrigerator and microwave all work fine. I would definitely stay again if I was on the area.

Perfect place if you like getting an old-school motel for a good price. There's nothing fancy here, although the rooms have been upgraded, but you can't beat the price for the quality. My only real complaint would be that the climate control system was noisier than usual. One thing that did exceed expectations was the WiFi, which was very fast. I uploaded about 200 megs of files in around three minutes. If you are doing remote work you will have no problem here.

I was passing through late at night. The company I work for booked the room earlier. All I needed was someplace to crash that nite. My key was in the mailbox after mid nite I wasn’t expecting much but the room was clean comfy it was quiet. Had a good sleep Next morning got a coffee from gas station behind the inn. It was great coffee Good location just off interstate. I left a great review on the desk

Excellent option for a dog friendly comfortable night when traveling through Montana. The water had a slight tinge to it from mineralization but not enough to be noticeable while showering. Would stay here again.

Very nice small motel, close to the interstate, but my room was surprisingly quiet. The front desk clerk was friendly, helpful, and efficient. The room was equipped with a small fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, had a table with chair, lounge chair, and desk, and it was very clean. Simple, no frills, well equipped - a great place for a convenient and affordable stop while traveling.
