We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was very clean, the staff was absolutely funominal!!!!! Very very wonderful time!!! They offered weekly rates and when we needed something they didn't hesitate to help😊 thanx Bel Aire

Great stay!!!!!!!!

Bel Aire motel was one of the nicest places I've stayed in. The manager was very helpful and was eager to make me feel at home. Hopefully I'll get back this way soon. I will all ways come back to the Bel Aire motel!!

Guest

Thanks again, Bel Aire, for another amazing stay!! As always the staff was extremely, nice, professional, and most helpful! The room was clean as always, and well stocked with supplies. I, usually, stay at the Holiday Inn, but I couldn't get the room I wanted for the price I wanted :( Therefore, I felt like staying at the Bel Aire as I haven't been there in years. I'll, surely, enjoy my best friend's 2018 Graduation (go Griz)!! Thanks again 2 all the friendly and hard-working staff. Your Motel will always be my go 2 Motel for Missoula, MT :)

Best Motel in ZooTown :)

I had stayed here before, so I knew this was a low-budget place but that’s fine. There’s nothing nice about it, it’s just a cheap place to sleep. But this time I walked in, right under their sign that said “VACANCY,” (there were maybe 4 cars in the lot) only to stand at the desk for at least 5 minutes; nobody came (the door bell rang when I walked through it, announcing my presence). I called out “hello, anybody here?” No response. All the while the desk phone rang with call after call. I opened and closed the door again to make the bell ring, then called out again. Finally I heard footsteps upstairs and a man came down- he had been up there the whole time listening to me and the phone- and said “yeah?”, like I was interrupting him. I told him I needed a room and he said “We don’t have any” and turned around to go back upstairs. Even IF your motel is full (which I don’t think it was; he just didn’t want to be bothered, or he didn’t like my long hair) you still show polite attention to a prospective guest, and say “I’m sorry, we’re full, but I could recommend other places.” And turn on your NO VACANCY sign, unless you’re just too damn lazy.

Inattentive and uncaring 

So I booked this motel after seeing it under new ownership and what seemed to have nice renovations internally. Sadly for me the whole situation has kind of been a waste. I booked a 4 night stay, booking through their own website which seemed to have ALOT of bugs and glitches which has proven true. I was hoping that going through their website would provide the owners with a higher take home than any booking/expedia fees. The website gave a helpful option to convert the room price to CAD and came out to show $651 with the previous evening checking and showing $476usd. Seemed reasonable so booked. Upon arriving and checking in, I get a notification from my credit card provider that over $900cad had been charged for my stay. I’ve asked the front counter member who commented that “this wasn’t in his pay grade” and since been trying to deal with Kolby the gm here with no news or reply. Seems to be a case of ignorance is bliss and that when I check out on Monday it’ll just be a case that I’ve had my stay and tough s**t. 

The room itself was nice, useful appliances and spruced up decor. Rooms are a bit dirty, hand prints on the door as the doors don’t close properly and are falling apart and just sprayed paint to spruce them up externally. Messy half completed work on some items in the room decor wise too. 

Bed is comfy, nice TV, but for multiple night stays it doesn’t seem to get room service or coffee replenished. 

Overall decent stay but sadly with the false advertisement on their website and reluctance to communicate with me to even comp one evening and acknowledge their fault it’s resulted to this review. Which will be posted across many many review sites.

Avoid - pay a little more to get lot more.

We tried to call two different numbers with no answer. They called back an hour later after we were booked into a hotel that answered the phone (Campus Inn). There’s two cars in the parking lot. Nobody in the office. Sign says vacancy in a town where every hotel is booked. I wish I had this hotel- I’d make a killing. Terrible way to run a business.

Seriously I guess they don’t need business

Older Motel from the 50's.  It was a busy fall weekend and most motels were full. We got a room on the second floor. The desk clerk did not know it was being repaired and the door key did not work and when we got in the room heater did not work.  We got a second room on the second floor. It was not heated and they had to turn on the little floor heater. A couple hours later the room was up to regular temperature.  The lights over the beds did not work.   In the morning, there was no hot water! No shower or wash up possible.  The desk clerk said she would let maintenance know.  It never got warm before we checked out.

Needs maintenance

This is the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed in. Paid $95 for a non-smoking room that smelled like an ashtray. No liners in garbage, no wash cloth or hand towels, half smoked joints and cigarettes in the nightstand. Was told by staff that is no big deal because "we find drugs here all the time".  Waited at the front desk for 20 min to check in with my reservations at 3:00 pm. Returned after dinner to key card not working and was treated like it was my fault. The night lady at the front desk is the rudest hotel proprietor I have ever encountered. I know the location is great but seriously don't fall for it.

Worst Hotel Ever

Absolute garbage . I booked at Mountain Valley hotel , only to show up at midnight after confirming my reservation there to a sign on the door saying there was no front desk agent and to call a random number to which a male answered with a simple “hello” and proceeded to tell me I had been moved to this motel down the street . Arriving at Belaire I immediately noticed how sketchy and unkempt it was . The explanation form Ryan at the front desk was that the person at Mountain Valley had “passed out” and all reservations were moved to them. I had originally booked a clean , queen size room for $70 and was told he would honour that amount . I proceeded to my room and noticed garbage , cigarettes and condom rappers on the ground . The inside was not much better . Obviously unclean , bathroom was disgusting , smelt of cigarettes , the blinds were broken and the lock didn’t work . I called back to ask for a refund and he stalled when I asked for his name. He did end up refunding me only to walk out to clearly sketchy persons outside which made me very uncomfortable . As two young women (my friend was with me ) we felt unsafe and clearly scammed for what we had thought was a nice room on booked.com at mountain valley . Luckily motel 6 down the road had availability for us for the same price as this s*** hole. 

DO NOT STAY HERE ! Sleep in your car before this place

Absolutely WORST motel , not even the same motel I booked

Imagine driving over Lolo Pass late on a dark night, after being on the road all day and looking forward to relaxing in your room after a tough travel day.  Then your confirmed room reservation sits idle as a sign on the door says to call another motel where they have your key.  Climb back into your car, drive up a few blocks, sign in, get your key, return to the lodging site with your room only to find that the key doesn't work.  Call back and get another phone number so someone can come to the motel to bring a new key... - good thing no one had to go to the bathroom for the last 100 miles, but we did! 
That was terrible.  The room was dirty, but we were too tired to complain about it.  
On the plus side, the water pressure was really good for the following day's shower, but that's a tiny positive for a motel that had a lot of negatives.  I wouldn't recommend this place, even if the price is the best available on whatever website you're booking through.  I would recommend going with one of the national chains if you're going low cost.  Don't repeat my mistake.
