Hotel Review of the Holiday Inn Express in Belgrade, Montana

Approximately 10 minutes from the Bozeman Airport , 5 minutes from downtown Belgrade, and about 10 minutes from downtown Bozeman, the Holiday Inn Express Belgrade is a great place to stay when in the Bozeman, Montana area. There are restaurants in downtown Belgrade and 2 grocery stores, gas stations and a few fast food restaurants approximately 1 mile away, so a car is recommended if you are staying several days or just passing through. Parking is complimentary and convenient. There are also several casinos in downtown Belgrade. There is a Country Kitchen next door to the Holiday Inn Express and a casino/lounge across the street if you are only there for one night. There are more restaurants and shops in downtown Bozeman.

In both February 2007 and February 2009 the service at the front desk was friendly and accommodating. Having booked an Internet rate a few months earlier for February 2009, the rate for a queen room was $69. On arrival we heard the front desk person tell another guest the rate was $59 for a queen room. As we checked in, we asked if the rate was $59 or $69, she said the rate had recently been reduced and the computer should have picked it up and our rate was adjusted to the lower rate! We also didn't have our priority club card and she willingly looked it up for us.

The Holiday Inn Express in Belgrade is clean and comfortable with 2 types of pillows (firm and soft, with the firmness embroidered on the side of each pillow case). The rooms are average size and both years looked to have been recently refurbished. The sink is outside of the bathroom, with a nice sized counter and mirror. the room also has a comfortable chair and decent sized desk. Internet service is available in the rooms at no charge and an Ethernet cable is provided in each room because there is no wireless available yet. There is a computer and printer in the lobby, available for complimentary use. There are complimentary baked cookies, coffee, teas and cocoa in the lobby all day. The cookies are home baked and are delicious! Breakfast is included with the room and is much more than the traditional continental breakfast. The breakfast at the Holiday Inn Express Belgrade includes yogurt, cereal, hard boiled and scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy, muffins/bagels/breads, cinnamon rolls, fruits and juices. For $59 per night for 2 people, this is one of the best hotel deals in the Bozeman area and is highly recommended for the service and cleanliness.
