We were switched from Ski to Central motel. Central needs a bit of exterior work but the room was good for the value. It was clean and suited our needs for our 2 night stay. Central location in town and everyone was very nice.
Room was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful, but the room in need of repair.

easy access to many things, we were on our motorcycle's so we wanted to walk to the restraints. The sign says free wifi and continental breakfast neither of which they have here.
My employees were denied a room after purchasing a room through Expedia were told there was no such reservation after being charged for it through Expedia
The check in guy did not speak English so he was very hard to understand. He did not have our reservation. He did still have a room available though thank goodness. The room was not clean we had to go track down a broom to sweep it and then we still did not walk around barefoot. It was a little scary and the room next to us had people coming and going all night knocking on the door!
When I came into the front office, I handed my reservation paper to the person, and he took a look at my reservation papers. He suggested I to call Expedia because he wanted to know how much the rate for the room. I am deaf, and I didn't have time to call Expedia. Based on my observations, I didn't see the personal computer and the credit card system at the front desk except for room reservation papers. I was so disappointed and frustrated. I walked out of the front office and left. However, I came to Great Falls from Missoula to attend the Montana Association of the Deaf 51st biennial conference for this weekend as the secretary of the statewide organization of the deaf. I explained my situation at Ski's Western Motel to these deaf registrants and some officers of Montana Association of the Deaf. Fortunately, one of the officers offered me to stay overnight at her house which was so sincere and kind enough to alleviate my anger and frustration toward the gentleman at the front office. I didn't pay any cash or hand my credit card to the gentleman. However I already made my online reservation via Expedia with my credit card before coming to Great Falls from Missoula, MT. After having some kind of calamitous experience at the motel, I made my own decision not to make any reservations at this motel ever again. I prefer to make reservations at either O'Haire Motor Inn in downtown Great Falls or Holiday Inn Great Falls where I have pretty good and positive experiences in my past.
I had a great experience at this motel. Chose it for price despite some dicey reviews, and of course, it's an old road motel. But I found the owner friendly, the room freshly cleaned--including machine-cleaned carpet--good bed, TV, everything I needed. Grateful for the hospitality, and I'll definitely stay again if I pass through the area. Note sole owner-operator is busy so sometimes away from office. Be prepared to call when you arrive. I did, and he appeared immediately, no problems.
The room was clean and the bed was new. The other motel guests were loud, up all night , in and out of their rooms. But the room was good. Could have been quieter.
The room was dirty. They lost our reservation. The owner was extremely rude to us when we got in. Their continental breakfast was a couple little pastries.. the worker had no clue where the cereal was kept.
When we got into the room, I had to use the bathroom. I noted there were chips on the seat, and thought nothing of it, until I stood up. The chips were gone, which meant they were on me! So, into the shower. The shower drained slow, so I looked in the drain. There was a hair ball in there worse than if I were washing my dog. So, I washed my butt, then got out.
The really bad part is I was next door to a hospital because I was having surgery in the morning and didn't want to travel a long way in the very early hours, and I was supposed to take two specific type of showers before arriving at the hospital. When I got to the hospital, they made me re-shower after I told them about the place. If we had not gotten there so late and I wasn't so broke from medical bills, I would have left.
It was clean, but old, the door didn't work very well. The other guests were very loud!! Even though, the guy that checked me in was being kind of grumpy about rules with me, he obviously lets people do whatever they want because we had people keeping us awake all night.

Decent Place to Stay in Great Falls
The room was fine. Not a 4 or 5-star experience by any stretch of the imagination, but for a cheap place to stay, it was fine. Clean and comfortable enough for us.

The location was a plus and negative. The location was a good base to explore. The location is on a main artery, so traffic noise was an issue. Behind the room was a parking lot for a bar. Was woke up at 2:00 AM to an argument in the lot. The room, somewhat dated was very clean. This worked for a one night stay, but will not book if I return to Great Falls. Staff was very friendly.
Pretty pricey for a no frills no amenities place to stay.

Get What You Pay For
I found the room quite comfortable with few amenities. The WiFi would not work in my room but did if you went outside. No coffee in the room and the continental breakfast consisted of coffee and a packaged sticky bun. Quite a few options for eating near by.
