Great little hidden gem
Super friendly staff- we arrived way before check in but wanted to park there to go a few places and not only did she allow that, she was able to check us into a room that was ready so we didn't have to leave our stuff in the car all day. Room was clean and beds were really comfortable. The hallways and front lobby are a little worn down looking, but the rooms were very clean and nice. Great location, too. We'll definitely try to stay here again on future visits to Missoula.

The young college girl that checked us in was soooo nice. She talked about the area and gave us some great places to visit after taking the time to ask what we are interested in. Very comfortable, lean and quiet.

The City Center Motel is a comfortable, family owned motel within walking distance of downtown Missoula. We stay there whenever we’re in town. Rooms are well-priced, clean, and quiet.

This is a great option to have in Missoula! The staff were very friendly, rooms were clean, and it was nice and quiet. We’d stay here again. I also appreciated the local instant coffee packets (thanks Black Coffee) and the fig bars in the lobby!

From the outside it looks like a 1950s roadside motel but the room was completely remodeled with a walk in shower. Good quiet AC and a small refrigerator and water heating pot. I'd stay here again

The City Motel is an older motel updated. It is very clean but compact. Air conditioner loud and runs all the time. Bars and eateries are in walking distance, a couple blocks away. Bed very comfortable.

It was a last-minute decision to book a hotel. We booked through Hotels.com and didn't know what to really expect. We got in late. The staff was very friendly. We checked in to our room which was clean and very comfortable. This is a no-frills hotel. We had a corner unit. It was quiet. We would stay again.

Older motel that has been updated nicely. Well-situated for downtown walking and for river walks. Some reviewers have mentioned train noise. I did not hear any, but yes, it's not far to the railroad tracks. You can make instant coffee in the room or use pods in the lobby, where there are cereal bars. I'll stay here again. Good place, good price.
