Ninepipes Lodge Montana

 Ninepipes Lodge - Western Montana

We had the privilege of staying at Ninepipes Lodge in Montana for a 3 night stay.  Booked last minute through Hotels.com.     The Lodge was set in the middle between Missoula and Polson Montana on HWY 93 the gateway to Glacier National Park. I would recommend the mountain view room even if a little more expensive. OR you can pay a little less and get a view of headlights from the parking lot. The mountain view is breathtaking and as the sun rises over it each day, you really won't regret the choice.  

Room-  Double Queen with Mountain View.  Bathrooms and areas were updated and nice.  I would say to the hotel a carpet change should be in the works soon.   

Restaurant-  Enjoyed a nice dinner and before the sun goes down diners get a nice view of the Mountains and lake.  The prices were reasonable and food was great.  There is also a nice patio that you can enjoy breakfast with a view.   Additionally with the same menu is a country western pub which seems to be the hotspot for watching sports and having a beer with friends while looking at taxidermy.

Grounds-  Grounds were beautiful.  Super cute little coffee shop and gifts with ice cream and Huckleberry Jam.  Huckleberry anything is king in Montana apparently.  A nice pond which could use a fountain to keep the bugs away, andAdirondackchairs overlooking the mountains were a nice touch. 

Staff-  Felt like a Family/Friend run operation.  Really nice staff and very friendly.   They were helpful when we needed things except I think if one needs a toothbrush it's shouldn't be found in a vending machine LOL!!  

I would recommend this hotel for a night or two.  I would stay here again, but we found that there were closer hotels to the points of interest we wanted to see.   That being said the value and accommodations are really appealing.
