    Montana

    Cozier than the chain motels that line Hwy 93 south of Whitefish, the cheerful Downtowner has spacious rooms, friendly staff and a morning bagel bar.

  • Cherry Tree Inn

    Montana

    A good-value option with a central location and furniture that is less retro than dated – think satin sheets and tired leather sofas.
