We used the same cottage we had last year. They have done some updating and it was so nice to have a kitchenette. Coffee pot for early morning coffee and internet. I could keep in touch with work and my daughter could keep in touch with her substitute. We got the kids to Carroll college and it is just around... More

I am a retired woman and I with my daughter were taking my first grandchild to college. I found this family run motel on the internet and found it quaint and tidy and cute. We had one of the larger units as we also had my grandson with us as well. Also our 17 yr old dog. We had a... More

I booked our 2 bed CABIN with my credit card well in advance of our trip and then our friends reservered their own cabin or room choices. I called to confirm a month before our trip.

We were going to stay a few days because it was convenient but the staff was unprofessional and the rooms needed a lot of work done. The small cottages were overpriced. When we left for the day we would come back to find our heat was turned... More

The Lamplighter fits this requirement perfectly. It is a rather dated establishment but clean and very convenient to the sites in Helena that we wanted to see. The... More

We stayed here for 3 days in July 2006. The location of this motel is great! It is located in the historical mansion district and is within walking distance to the downtown area (the walk is right past all the mansions). They offer quaint cottages or a motel style lodging. We stayed in a cottage. It had 2 double beds,... More
