When you book a room at the Downtowner you have to understand that its the only hotel located in downtown Whitefish and within walking distance to the action. It is a budget motel but is very clean and an overall great value. They have a bunk/hostel type room available as well as standard 2 queen type rooms. The lobby is... More

It's the first time my wife and I stayed at the hotel where every room has an entrance directly from the street, even if you are on the second or third floor. No lobby, no corridor, the room, the door and the street. There is nothing wrong with it, but mind a wooden ladder outside and if your room is... More

Sitting in the lobby by the fire watching it snow as I write... The hotel is right in the heart of Whitefish so you don't need a car to see the town. Rooms are very clean but basic, a good value for the price. The only downside is maintaining a consistent room temperature as it is very warm when the... More

If you are looking to be close to the downtown core then this is the place for you. Don't expect anything fancy - it is more a travel lodge/ motel 6 but the beds were comfy, the shades were dark and we could walk to downtown whitefish in 2 seconds. Upon checkin the front desk receptionist was pretty abrupt and... More

Hotel recommended to us by our daughter who had stayed previously, as the only hotel actually in Whitefish and rooms with microwaves. We had no booking, was vacation time so we were grateful for last availability which was The Bunkhouse and Receptionist gave us a very good rate anyway. The Bunkhouse is on the 3rd floor, practically takes up the... More

We stopped in Whitefish on our way to Yellowstone. The Downtowner Inn was clean and comfortable, and very conveniently located in the centre of town. The amenities include a hot tub! Good budget stay.

Located right on the main drag of lovely Whitefish Montana it was easy to find. Friendly checking staff and self-parking. Free Internet. For quiet request room on second floor in back. We had last room in back; number 30. Monday morning at 5:50am the trash truck arrived and we were permanently awakened. Since you need to get going early to... More

We checked into this motel because of its proximity to the downtown area. We paid the summertime rate ( which I felt was high but it included breakfast). The rooms were very simple and plain, beds very very hard!! Before our checkout we went to the office to have the continental breakfast at 8:30 a.m. The office was locked up... More
