Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location was perfect for my trip. I was a grand marshal for the 100th anniversary of their Vigilante Day Parade. The parade start was almost directly across the street.
Negative: The property was run down and had vagrants roaming around it, as there’s a homeless shelter across the street. But they didn’t bother me. I could hear people yelling at each other in other rooms in the middle of the night. Disappointingly, I paid $110 a night on Booking.com. I didn’t want to pay $250 a night down the street at the Doubletree. I was upset to discover that if I had booked directly with the hotel the cost would have been $63 a night. I paid a lot more by using Booking.com.
Summary: Basic but sufficient.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The motel is a couple of blocks from the retail and eatery area - but an easy walk. Parking right outside the room is nice. It was relatively quiet and I slept well.
Negative: Note that Helena's homeless community are resident in the neighborhood which might seem concerning at first glance. But it is actually reassuring to have locals with an eye on the area, which is a deterrent to mischief.
Summary: Nice place to stay - unpresuming and comfortable
