Lewis & Clark Motel

Loved our stay at Lewis & Clarke. Service was outstanding! Very cute, retro motel, great location and an awesome spa in the lower level, with a eucalyptus steam room, hot tub, 60’ pool, sauna and gym. We had an issue with our car battery and the staff went out of their way to help. Highly recommend!

Our room is as immaculate and very nice. We enjoyed the infused water and coffee and snacks in the lobby. Great location to downtown area. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. Pool was great and all areas were very clean. We didn’t use the continental breakfast as we went out to eat. Would stay again

Love this hotel. It’s super quaint, service was excellent, the lobby was over the top charming, and breakfast was a grab and go sort with a small selection of fresh fruit. The rooms were big and spacious with really nice bedding and the mattresses were as expected, comfortable. The pool and steam room were beautiful as well as the small workout facility. What I didn’t like about this hotel was the use of little tiny plastic shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc., From sustainability point of view, this was disappointing. Most hotels are moving away from this offering and I hope this lovely hotel will too. The rooms need a little updating, too. It would’ve been a bummer to drop an earring or a ring down the sink in our bathroom. 😞

Lisa is amazing. She has the most peaceful pool/spa/sauna area. The homemade treats add an extra element to staying here. This motel has been a staple in Bozeman and I hope it is here for years to come. I can’t wait to come back just for a night away

This place is absolutely stunning!! It’s like stepping back in time. The front/lobby was decorated so well for Halloween. The spa features downstairs were so relaxing and beautiful! The room was modern with an old school touch and very clean and comfortable. I can’t wait to come back here again.

We stayed here for one night (out of our ten nights in Montana) but in retrospect wish we had stayed at least 3-4 days here. This motel is magical. It’s beautiful and classy and well cared for. The rooms are almost vintage but feel super clean and the bedding is gorgeous white and comfy. The building is beautiful and the pool and saunas and steam room are excellent. Make sure and take pics in the mirrored elevator- super cool. This place is a true GEM - the care and money Lisa put into this place are apparent and so impressive- We will absolutely stay here again and look forward to it. Thank you everyone!!

Great pool and hot tub, wonderful treats ansncoffee bar, beautifully decorated lobby - what a quaint place to stay right in town. We loved the eucalyptus steam room! 5 stars!

My family and I had an amazing experience at the Lewis and Clark Motel. Every corner of this motel is clean and well-cared for from the flower boxes adorning the balconies to the pool changing rooms. We enjoyed the beautiful warm pool, hot tub, and eucalyptus steam room which were incredibly refreshing and relaxing after a week in Yellowstone. (This may be the cleanest pool facility we have ever seen.) They have super comfortable beds and pillows in large, clean, rooms. There's a charming gift shop, delicious little homemade treats out all day and a well-appointed exercise facility. The location can't be beat with parks, restaurants, shops and ice cream shops lining the streets. The staff is attentive and helpful. We were given the option of a ground floor room which made checking in and out super-efficient for our one-night stay with a family of 4. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we will surely return!

Absolutely delightful Motel. Lisa (and her father before her) have handed up Bozeman beautiful (back-in-time) luxury accommodations. I visit my daughter every year in Bozeman. Last year during my visit, we were shopping at the Co-Op next door, and I said, I'm going to run over and peek at this pretty Motel next door. It surprises you. I made reservations for the next year, and got to spend a few nights here 2 weeks ago. The lobby is just lovely. Lisa served up a somewhat continental-style breakfast. It was just perfect, with everything you need to get your day started. I grabbed my breakfast, sipping my hot tea, reading the newspaper, chatted with some of the guests, and soaked in every minute of my morning. In the afternoon, Lisa lays out other snacks and always has a nice fruit bowl. The downstairs pool, hot tub and spa area are worthy of a Four Seasons. One afternoon, I walked to the downtown area to shop and explore. It was just a few blocks away, an easy walk. My bed was delightfully comfortable, and my room was clean and well-appointed. I felt safe throughout my entire stay here. I woke up, looking at the Majestic Mountains every morning. What a view. When you call, ask for Lisa (the owner's daughter). Her Dad/family has owned this establishment from the very first day it opened its doors. Thank you Lisa and all the staff at the Lewis & Clark. Everything was just wonderful. I will be back. I love supporting local businesses. This is a gem!

Once again, the Lewis & Clark Motel proves itself as THE best place to stay in Bozeman, Montana! From the personal welcome at check-in, to the exquisite spa facilities, regular culinary surprises (note: white choco macarons and brownies!), immaculately clean rooms and good vibes all around! A true hidden gem in the Last Best Place!

Pros: The exterior is very pretty and the gift shop has great snacks and beverages. The staff are very courteous and kind. The location relative to downtown is pretty awesome. Mountain views from the 3rd floor are nice. Water pressure and temp was great. Cons: The rooms are fairly old, basic motel rooms that do not match the lobby and exterior aesthetic. The carpet needs work but the main issue is my room smells a bit funky...like cigarette smoke, probably from all the years people smoked inside the rooms years ago.

What a special place and stay! Do NOT let the word "Motel" sway you. This place is so cute, with amazing amenities (pool, hot tub, eucalyptus steam room, sauna, lobby treats, comfy beds, and many more), as well as very obvious love poured into your stay from Lisa and her team. I will continue to stay here as long as the doors are open for business and Lisa & team are running the show. Truly a gem with great views, centrally located, and such a welcoming atmosphere.

Lisa, the owner is nothing short one of the most inhospitable, rude, mean and unprofessional person we have ever met. She yelled at me over the phone, hung up on me when I asked for a manger and tried to charge us for an undeserving "misc" moving of furniture in her room. Do not go here. This place is an over priced dump!

The atmosphere and the people were amazing thank you Lisa and Sarah for making it such a memorable experience. I can't wait to bring my girls so they can also experience this amazing place with all the great energy and thought that has been put into it.

For anyone who is going to Bozeman and need a place to stay the Lewis and Clark motel is the place. Lisa, the owner, is incredible. She's super nice and has thought of everything and anything one could need for their stay. The atmosphere is wonderful and the place is clean as a whistle. The spa downstairs is above and beyond. We used it morning and night and felt like 1 million bucks afterwards. Trust me, the whole experience is amazing. And I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Nancy from Martha's Vineyard MA.

The staff was so friendly and very helpful. Our room was very comfortable and there was plenty of space. The pool and spa area was phenomenal! We would definitely stay again!

We stayed here because of an American Airline delayed flight. It was really nice and the staff was so friendly. I spent hours the next morning in the redone basement pool/hot tub/sauna/gym. Regretted not spending our other nights in Bozeman there.

Hidden gem!! ! Staff is very welcoming, proud of their history! Amazing pool, jacuzzi, steam room is a welcome to cold weather!! Coffee & breakfast treats too!

Our last night in Montana we stayed at the Lewis & Clark Motel in Bozeman. I can not say enough about how incredible this place is - so clean!, interesting lobby and decor, great continental breakfast and snacks, comfy, fitness center, large indoor pool, sauna and eucalyptus steam room. Lisa and her family do a magnificent job carrying on the legacy of her father's vision. I highly recommend this place if you're in Bozeman. Thank you, Lisa!

A true slice of heaven! This is an amazing motel we will never forget. From the very welcome check in from owner Lisa, and the IT help from Brian and the well appointed and charming lobby to our room with super comfy beds and fantastic gift shop - we loved every second we were there. And the "knock your socks off" experience was their amazing lower level pool, hot tub and steam room. When you enter - you will be immediately transported to Bali or Thailand and the peaceful and crazy relaxing vibe cannot be beat! If you need an over the top fabulous motel in Bozeman or the Big Sky area - look no further than here! And as others have mentioned, we travel extensively and this motel will forever be on our top favorite places to stay!

I first stayed here in September with my parents. We just needed an inexpensive option for one night before my parents' early flight out the next morning. I was blown away. The friendliness of the staff/owner was very refreshing. The pool and spa area were absolutely incredible. If I lived in Bozeman, I'd find a way to pay for a monthly membership. Luxury does not begin to describe it. And that shower! I've told an obscene number of people about that shower. Then when I finally did stop enjoying the amenities and go to bed, I was blown away again. That bed is the single most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I don't know how they did it. The next morning, the owner had arranged to have the breakfast set out a little earlier than usual so that we could get something to eat before taking my parents to the airport. The variety was exceptional. I had planned to drive home after dropping my parents off - but since check out was not until noon, I returned for another swim, soak, and a nap in that marvelous bed. I have daydreamed about this motel many times since. Finally I got another chance to go back with a friend. We took a trip up from Wyoming to ski at Bridger Bowl and I have to admit I was just as excited for the hotel stay as I was for the skiing. Lewis and Clark did not disappoint. I enjoyed the hotel just as much as the first time, and was just as reluctant to leave. We ended up getting trapped at the hotel under 17 inches of snow, but thanks to some shovels and encouragement from the owner we were able to dig out and make it to the mountain. She even offered us a discounted rate if the weather turned worse and we got stuck in Bozeman overnight. Unfortunately, the roads cleared up and we didn't get to stay a second night. It's not an authentic stop on the Lewis and Clark trail, but that is lucky for all of us. If Lewis and Clark had stopped at this hotel, they never would have left.

Great service! Warm and cozy! I loved the 60 foot pool, hot tub, dry and eucalyptus sauna, ect. It's really a hotel with a Spa well worth the $!

I love that this motel is still privately owned and managed by the original family. I saw the picture of the pool online but didn't realize they also have two infrared saunas and a steam room. Great fitness center. Room was very clean and welcoming. Surprisingly quiet as well given the glass sliding doors. Highly recommend this place over any chain hotel!!

In March of 2023 (with three feet of fresh snow), I stayed five nights at the Lewis & Clark Motel. Unbelievable experience! First of all, Lisa and her staff greeted me with such hospitable warmth and welcome! As a former career Navy wife, our family lived and traveled the world; I would place Lewis & Clark Motel at the top of my memories of the best place to stay! Hospitality, charm, cleanliness, comfortable mattresses (!), GREAT pool, hot tub and eucalyptus steam room available to guests, breakfast coffee, fresh fruit and pastries. Lewis & Clark Motel is located in downtown Bozeman so I walked everywhere: restaurants, stores, grocery, pizza across the street at Red Tractor! There is only one place of accommodation I will stay in Bozeman: the Lewis & Clark Motel! The family has owned this motel for years and the beauty and hospitality I believe has been passed from generation to generation! Thank you, Lisa and Staff! Mary Anne DeLapp Poulsbo, WA

Hostess was sooo awesome. I got in late and needed to return my car rental really quickly. She took my bags and called a cab. I got back and my bags were in my room along with a beautiful tray of goodies. She also turned my AC on in my room so it would be extra nice! Then she lined up a cab back to the airport for me for the next day. The beds were fantastic and the room was decked out with all of the amenities. Very clean and quiet.

It was my 50th birthday this year. In anticipation of this milestone, I had one simple wish--to swim in a pool. Growing up in Florida, every one of my birthdays was spent swimming. Now that I live in Montana, finding a pool for my birthday required additional planning, and that's exactly what I did. After an extensive search, I reached out to the Lewis & Clark Motel and explained my birthday plans. They told me I had to book a room, which was surprisingly expensive for a dressed-up Motel 6, to access the pool. Fine. The pool looked cool, and I'm worth it! You only turn 50 once, right? I booked the room, asking for an early check-in, and a late check-out. When we arrived, I once again emphasized that my sole purpose was to enjoy a swim in the pool with my kids, and that we wouldn't even be sleeping in the room. The following morning, on my birthday, we returned to the motel, eagerly anticipating a day of floating in the pool. I turned in the room keys to an unoccupied front desk, and looked forward to the poolside retreat. We stepped out briefly for an errand, and when we came back, still well within our approved late check-out time, the person at the front desk unexpectedly denied us access to the pool. I explained the situation, telling them that I returned the keys because we didn't use the room, assuming we could still use the pool. I was told that since we were no longer registered guests, access to the pool was off-limits. I asked for an exception considering the circumstances, only to be met with another refusal. I can't comment on the quality of the beds or the water pressure in the shower, but I can say with certainty that Lisa, the owner and manager of this place, lacked any form of kindness or understanding, and in this instance, didn't operate her business with hospitality. She may have gotten her money for that night, but she lost my future business and any chance of a positive recommendation. To make sure I wasn't crazy, I called several other hotels in the area with pools to ask about their policies. They all said they could easily accommodate this type of request. If only I had chosen differently... save yourself, and do NOT stay at the Lewis & Clark Motel.

I've travelled a ton for work the last 7 years, and this is hands-down the best all-around hotel I've ever been to. Views of the mountains, proximity to downtown, a gem of a spa, and outstanding service are the main things, but there are so many little touches I can't possibly list, such as classical music greeting you in the cool original retro room, comfortable beds and pillows, fascinating lobby, on and on. Don't stay at a chain, stay here, they are so worth it!

This was a last minute, unexpected stay! This is a personalized family establishment that was built by her father. The hospitality is from a loving place with every thoughtful detail, to the music and all the holiday decor! Comfortable and clean and the best "motel" I've ever experienced. It feels like visiting a best friend's home.

Lewis and Clark motel has made a great renovation. The rooms are updated, clean and comfy. It's lobby is super cute. There staff is super friendly. The breakfast offerings are weak but that is the only weakness for this establishment. And it's not that big of a deal. They make up for it with the infused water, candies and comfort.

Great Motel! Feels like a high end hotel. The owner Lisa is very friendly . Motel is very clean and updated rooms , the beds are fantastic. The pool ,hot tub , steam room and sauna area is amazing, feels like your at a spa. Great Ski vacation ! We will be returning to stay!

This place is amazing. We weren't sure what to expect but we are extremely happy. Room is clean and comfortable. Lobby is beautiful and smells great. The 60 foot pool is amazing. There is a hot tub and eucalyptus sauna as well. Beulah plants adorn the rails by the rooms. Cant say enough good. Stay here !!

We just had the most incredible stay at the Lewis and Clark Motel! This is nowhere near your classic motel. Lisa goes above and beyond to create a memorable experience. Her father build the motel in the 70's and he would be beyond proud to see what a great stay she provides her guests. From the homemade chocolate chip cookies and other sweet treats she places around the lobby, to the eucalyptus spa/pool this is a stay you won't forget. The rooms are incredibly clean and comfortable. Our kids were begging to stay another night :-) We will definitely be back!

most incredible place ever! 100% the COMFIEST bed i have EVER slept in! also Lisa is the most wonderful human i love her

Great Motel! Comfortable and Clean. The Manager was extremely friendly and helpful. The spa is spectacular. A convenient location and a great value.

My group was stuck in Bozeman due to a delayed flight and needed accommodations for a night. We found Lewis and Clark on yelp and we're intrigued by the pool and eucalyptus sauna. We were not disappointed! The staff was welcoming and accommodating to our group, even offering us extra time in the sauna past the posted hours. The rooms were large and the beds were soft. The bathroom could use some updating but that did not stop us from fully enjoying our stay. If you like boutique hotels and inns and a more personal experience, this place is for you.

Clean room. Updated. Friendly staff. Lots of amenities. But area seems a little sketchy. Doors are sliding doors that open to a Balcony or the parking lot if you're on the first floor. They could easily be broken into, in my opinion. When you're inside there's an extra bolt but I was a little worried about leaving the room. For all it's pluses, it's still a MOTEL. Great price tho. I would probably stay somewhere else next time, but if nothing in my price range was available I'd give it another try.

What a great motel. Customer service SOOOO great and friendly. We had a 2 queen room it was clean and well kept. Lobby was very inviting with great coffee and light continental breakfast. Has snacks beers wine and drinks as well as sundries for sale too. We will be back!

Our stay far exceeded our expectations! Starting with the warm greeting from Lisa at check-in; to restaurant recommendations; to the little touches like the coffee/tea bar, fruit infused water and candies pecans in the lobby, and the calming music in the room as we entered. And finally, the grotto-like pool, hot tub, and steam room was luxurious. It was a perfect ending to our week hiking in Yellowstone. Thank you so much!

I absolutely ADORE this motel and it's staff! The comfort and fluffiness of the bedding, the warm and beautifully decorated lobby, the AMAZING pool/hot tub/eucalyptus steam room, and the friendly, accommodating and welcoming staff are beyond compare. This is THE BEST PLACE to stay in Bozeman. Kudos to Lisa Sebena and her team! We will miss seeing your faces in the morning

Two of us were passing through Bozeman on the way to North Dakota and stopped by this gem! Front desk receptionist was very kind, courteous, and welcoming. She explained use of amenities including grab and go breakfast including fruit, power bars, yogurt, & apple sauce (covid19), ice, coffee 24/7, etc. What blew my mind was the cleanliness of the the steam/sauna/hot tub/ pool. They have a private spa area downstairs below the motel. Wow. It was impeccable and cleaned to a sparkle. We were a bit skeptical about using the facility during this health crisis but after taking one look I completely changed my mind. They clean the facility after EVERY use, towels and bathroom amenities were stocked, calming spa music was playing, and they even had a nice sparkling & still water machine! The room cleanliness was also immaculate. the shower was giant and luxurious. The owner was extremely friendly and asked how our stay was going every time I came to the front desk. I would most definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Lewis and Clark Motel is a great choice when staying in Bozeman. The pride of ownership really shows at this establishment. The swimming pool, hot tub and sauna located below the hotel create a true oasis. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. Additionally, you cannot beat the location.

The Lewis & Clark Môtel in downtown Bozeman dates back to 1973. The Hôtel, built by William Sabena, is now run by his only daughter, Lisa, who welcomes everyone with great warmth and enthusiasm. The place appears, from the outside, to be a relatively ordinary Motel...yet, (similar to the explorers, for which it is named), there is hidden treasure in the basement. There's a beautiful clear and clean pool hidden underground...in the Basement of the Hotel. But, far from a typical môtel pool, It feels like a secret oasis. It is one of the most beautiful, amazing, private Spas that I have ever seen or had the privilege to enjoy! The pool itself is like a Natural Hot springs lagoon just below the Lobby of the Hotel. Very classy!! Every detail is perfectly designed by the innkeeper herself who has a sharp eye for classic beauty and design. There is a CALM and remarkably spiritual energy there (where travelers can recharge in the relaxing and peaceful atmosphere of the SPA), below the surface of the town of Bozeman. There is also a little gym, as well a as a sauna, steam room, and a delicious jacuzzi. To be honest, I wasn't planning to tell you this because frankly, I really enjoy having it all to myself!! So Shhhh! Don't tell too many people!

My fiancé and I were traveling from Phoenix, we stayed in Jackson hole and then road tripped to Bozeman. We booked this hotel last minute and we were so happy we did! We loved the vintage vibes of the lobby but modern rooms. Everything was clean, bed was comfy, and service was great. The pool was so cool! We met the owner and she was amazing. Said her dad opened that hotel in the 1970s and she been running it. You can tell she loves that place. We would totally stay again if we are ever back in Bozeman.

I don't think I've ever been to a motel with such a wonderful staff as this one has! The pride and ownership that they take is absolutely evident every where you look! VERY impressed with their patriotism for 9/11. I'd be back just because of that! BUT I'd also be back for their location, spacious rooms, comfortable bed, nice selection of breakfast grab and go items, and the pool... WOW ~ that is an hidden oasis in Bozeman! It's almost spa like! I know there a lot of newer hotels to choose from in Bozeman but The Lewis and Clark Motel has a life time customer with me!!

The attention to all the small details makes for a truly wonderful experience. The beds are so comfy, the rooms and spa area are very clean, the steam is infused with essential oils, the gym is very functional for everyone, the staff was very kind, welcoming, and professional. I will he recommending this wonderful gem to everyone. Thank you to staff and management for creating a place that made my stay in Bozeman that much more enjoyable.

The Good: Incredibly polite and very helpful staff onsite. The lobby had a unique charm in its decoration, and had a distinct smell that reminded me exactly of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. I'm not sure if that's a chlorine smell, but it's oddly enjoyable to me at least. The pool and spa area was also top notch. The Not So Good The price of the room was insane for a late September stay. $300 for a motel room felt like highway robbery, especially when the room has no windows. Well, I suppose you can count the entry door as a window, since the entry wall is all glass for no reason that I could decipher. The desk in the room was also positioned directly in front of the floor heating strip, which I'm fairly certain is a fire hazard. All in all, great staff, but severely overpriced.

This place was a delightful surprise. Normally we stay at the best western. We wanted to do something different and went to the Lewis & Clark motel. Wonderful ,polite staff.Clean rooms.with goodies you can have for breakfast. Exquisite ‍pool,spa steam room ‍‍.complete with ‍work out area. I have to say this is Montana at it best with a reasonable rate .

This is a family owned boutique hotel experience with the convenience of motel parking right in front of your room. Clean and pleasant rooms, a beautifully thought out spa experience in their pool (with a very cool family history), and the most incredibly caring and attentive staff and owner. We stayed here on our way through town but would have stayed longer had we been able to. We travel with 3 small children regularly and they were highly aware of how to make a family's stay exceptional! Our girls loved the old-fashioned gum ball machine by the front desk. When you finally decide to leave the motel property, the Co-Op grocery store next door is a convenient place for a healthy meal. It will now be a staple for us anytime we make our way through Bozeman. Don't pass this gem by!

I have stayed here a couple times a year while my daughter attends MSU. The location is convenient to the university but also within walking distance of local eateries and shopping. For some reason, I sleep incredibly well on their comfortable beds and nice bedding. I see upgrades ever time I stay, which I appreciate. The staff is absolutely exceptional--friendly, helpful and efficient. The spa on the lower level is a high point. Very well done and kept clean and inviting. We came with a dog once as well and they have rooms to accommodate that as well. Prices are comparable to other hotels in the area.

Enjoyed a 5 night stay here recently. The staff was super nice. A light breakfast (the banana bread rocks!) and hors d'oeuvres in the evening are included. The indoor pool, spa, steam room are fantastic!! There's a nice gym too. You are one block from a great bagel shop, and the food coop (great salad bar & membership not required) is next door. The location is great, weather permitting you could walk downtown. The rooms are a good size, you get DirecTV with a nice range of channels, small fridge, and a microwave. The bed was super comfy with lots of nice pillows. The price is right too! I will be staying here again next time I'm in town! Some things to note... I will be requesting a top floor room next time - better view and less noise. We were on the bottom floor which was super convenient, our car was 6' from our door, but the noise from the room above us was a bit much. Also, our room was equipped with a super low flow shower head - very annoying! Other hotels we've stayed at in Bozeman have been similarly equipped. There are lots of hotel/motel options in Bozeman, I've stayed in several - bang for buck this has been the best one yet.

Cute motel with great coffee and a sublime lower level pool/spa area. My guest room was comfy and had everything I needed. Charming downtown Bozeman is an easy walk down the street.

We had a lovely stay here! Big, clean rooms. Very dog friendly. And the staff were all very cheerful and helpful. Didn't have time for the pool and spa downstairs, plus games and library, but will next time!

From the outside it looks old but the lobby is beautiful and great decor there's coffee and snacks plus the comp breakfast was pretty good. It's located right on main street within walking distance to most downtown attractions.the rooms were nice and I was surprised to get a room for $99.00 on the weekend.

Newly renovated! Why pay $400-500 for a competitor hotel that you will only sleep in? Absolutely not. This place has been around since the 70's, is family owned and operated, and has all the amenities of the other local places. Most dope Neon sign, and underground pool and spa. 10/10 will be staying here for future trips.

What a wonderful motel! This was my second time staying here. It was amazing! Nice clean rooms. The staff are all friendly and always asking how they can help you. Walking distance to downtown. Pool and sauna and fitness room are all very nice and super clean!

Always a great place to stay while in Bozeman Location is perfect and remodeled pool and spa area are very relaxing. A great value in a wonderful town

My husband and I stayed here for a week while attending a friends wedding about an hour away. This motel was so charming, clean and centrally located. The highlight of the stay? The BED!! This was the most comfortable bed we have slept in at any place away from home. We didn't even get to enjoy the pool or spa area because we were so busy, but we checked it out and it looked really amazing. We will definitely be back and all our friends that stayed at the hotel a mile away will be joining us next time. Thanks for the hospitality and the wonderful experience!
