We spent one night here on our way back to Canada from Yellowstone National Park. Got this hotel bidding $58 on priceline and we were completely happy with it. Check-in was easy and quick, friendly front desk, and clean hotel. Our room was a good size and the beds were comfortable. The shower had a powerful massage shower head that... more

This hotel is ok, acutally, it is pretty nice. It is surely one of the best in Helena. It has nice large rooms and free internet. It does have one major drawback, however: you can hear through the door and the walls, far too easily. At least that was my experience from room 260. Others may be better. The room... more

The front desk staff and maintenance men were very friendly and helpful. I had requested a microwave and fridge, both were promptly brought to my room. Once in my room I noted a very strong odor, actually my room smelled like a sweaty old man. I went to the front desk and requested someone spray the room down with an... more

I am glad we didnt look at these reviews before I came. It really was a comfortable stay. For a 3 star hotel it was fine. Very comfy beds and tons of soft pillows and linens were very soft!!! We had to find a place that would take a dog and they made my big golden very welcome (a 20... more

The Red Lion is past its prime. The rooms have been redecorated, and they were clean. The beds were comfortable. Everything else was disappointing. The lobby was not as nice as it looked on the website, smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, and was virtually deserted. The door from the parking lot to the interior corridor would stick and had to... more

We arrived and were greeted by someone who could have cared less. Took us some time to get our rooms. When I got to my room it was still being cleaned even though she told me it was ready. Breakfast the next morning was horrible. Waitress was slow and the food took forever even though no one was in the... more

The Red Lion in Helena has been around a long time and has been considered one of the classiest in town. At check-in we were "greeted" by a young woman who did not utter a word to us- we had to do all the talking. Not a good welcome. Our room was clean and nicely furnished. We had coupons for... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night and were very happy during our stay. There was ample free parking. The large room was very comfortable with a mini-fridge and microwave. The room was very clean. The amenities were plentiful and of good quality. I have absolutely no complaints about this hotel and would definitely stay here again, and I... more

The Red Lion was one of the higher pricer hotels, but the quality was very sub-standard. Our stay was on Saturday night and the hotel had maybe 20 cars in the whole parking lot at the peak time. This indication should have been the red flag, but the check in was depressing with the front desk lady who appear to... more
