"Where to begin! The food was delicious. The service was fabulous. Front desk staff was one lady who was so cheerful and welcoming. Our waitress was super friendly and just happy. Our bartender was PHENOMENAL. I asked for a drink that they didn't have the specific liquor for and she searched online and made me the most amazing Appletini seemingly out of thin air. She was extra knowledgeable and shared the history of Ennis with us, including Native history and..."

"We didn't stay so I couldn't say what the rooms were. Great burger! I wish I had taken a picture. The meat was thick, tender, and fresh. The fries were pretty tasty, too. Good selection of Montana beers. Our only suggestion would be a nice deli pickle spear would have been ."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sportsman’s Lodge in Melrose. The room was well appointed and comfortable. I slept so deeply after a day of adventuring in the area. The shower water got good and hot and the water pressure was phenomenal. My husband stays in hotels for work all the time and he was impressed."

"We thought we would stop for a quick lunch. Our server was very friendly. We ordered the specials, which were the Bison Chili and the Griiled Cheese and Tomato Basil soup. My friend said the chili tasted great. I thought the grilled cheese with bacon and tomato tasted great. My other friend said the soup was terrible. It was more like a marina sauce that could be served over noodles versus a tomato soup. There was only one other table..."
