Sapphire Motel

We LOVED it! The decor was top notch and the beds were comfortable! If you want to step back in time, or if you just want great service and comfortable beds...this is the place! Our family went down the night before two of us had appointments the next day. We loved having three beds (our sons are now adults, so having them share a bed wasn't ideal. They do have roll-aways, too!) After running a few errands, which were close by, we went back to the coffee bar/gaming room and played an old game of Monopoly and listened to old records on the record player. They had a wide selection of teas (herbal and caffeinated) and a couple types of coffee. We loved being able to park right out our door, too!

Great motel! Definitely recommend! I’ll be honest, I mostly stick to the well known hotel brands. But tried this motel when visiting Bozeman for two days. And it was an amazing stay. Love the theme and design of the place. Friendly staff! Free WiFi and also free parking. And you can get free coffee and tea on the lobby (also well designed!). Rooms are spacious and clean!

Sapphire Motel was a great experience! It is very convenient to downtown Bozeman but just enough away that it is quiet. From the moment we checked in we experienced wonderful service. Cameron was so helpful & kind! Everything was spotlessly clean! Very neat decor. We would certainly stay again if in the area!

We stayed at the Sapphire Motel on our way to Yellowstone recently and even though they booked us for the wrong size room from what we booked, the situation was handled so well that it was a perfect stay, even with one of us sleeping on a cot. They could teach lessons to much higher end hotels on how to handle such a situation: They took responsibility, apologized and offered options to correct it. The room was immaculately clean and looked exactly as the web photos. Thanks Sapphire for getting our trip started with such positive vibes!

We booked two nights at the end of July as the tail end of our Montana adventure. |From the second we saw the sign we had smiles on our faces. The Sapphire is a 1950-60’s throwback but with all the modern technology you need. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We got upgraded to a suite and the bed was super comfy, room spacious and the courtyard was so pretty- swings, a grill, gazebo, lots of sitting areas and even a trunk of lawn games. |The bathroom mirror had a touchscreen light, Bluetooth and defroster, which we’d never seen before. |The motel is on a main road but at the back is a path that leads you to an adorable neighborhood that’s only about 3-4 blocks from downtown, so no need to drive to town in good weather.||I hope we get to go back to the beautiful state of Montana again, and if we do we’ll be staying at the Sapphire.

the set up at this motel is adorable. It's very clean and quiet and the amenties are very thoughtfult. Staff is lovely. I would prefer this over a hotel any day. food trucks across the street are a great asset also. would definately stay here again.

My wife and I loved our stay at the Sapphire Motel. Bozeman has become our go to travel spot when we need to get away for special occasions and the sapphire motel has become our preferred stay when in town. The front desk staff are incredibly kind and knowledgeable about the area. The all day coffee bar is an incredible amenity and the hotel is an easy walk to much of downtown for restaurants, bars, and ice cream. A special shout out to Donna who checked us in and gave us a detailed map of the area and recommendations for local spots to check out.

This is the cutest motel! The retro decor is amazing! The motel is clean, and the service was excellent. We had a 2Q patio room, and it was extremely spacious. It was great to sit outside on the big grassy center. There were yard games and swings, so our daughter was entertained and able to run around. We will be staying here again!

I had a wonderful stay here. Though the motel is an older property with a retro style, the level of cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable. My room was exceptionally quiet and the bed was very comfortable. One other plus to consider is that its location is far more convenient to downtown Bozeman than the chain hotel located closer to I-90.

Super cute mid-century modern-style motel in Bozeman, a short drive to the main strip with many restaurants and shops. I think they were still in the process of renovating the bathroom in our room, but we didn't mind the older tub for one night, and especially not for the great rate. The sheets were clean, and the bed was cozy. The room itself wasn't cramped either but a good size, and they offered coffee and tea in the little lounge off the main office. The best area in my opinion is the living room they've created in the Sapphire office; go check out the beautiful furniture, and the television still works!

First time exploring Bozeman, saw an article for first timers and the Sapphire Motel was mentioned as a nice inexpensive place to stay. Family owned yet keeping up the the old fashioned decor (plus updates) are a nice. Staff was really wonderful. Goldie the front desk manager is a delight to deal with. Love to support the local establishments vs. chain properties. Very clean in all areas. Located close to downtown Main Street and we would definitely stay here again. Free coffee in mornings. People must like this place as well, because it was full of guest. Experience a motel from back in the day - it's worth it for sure.

This motel sets a high bar for our future travels! Fast, friendly check-in. A parking spot with our room number right out front of our room guarantees convenience. Bright, colorful, thoughtful, mid-century decor with lots of cute touches. Modern bathroom, rain showerhead (the best part of the room), all appliances work like new. Comfy beds. Beautiful garden space with chairs, picnic table, swings, grass, trees, even a grill. Next time I come to Bozeman I will go out of my way to stay here again. It's central to everything. It was a delight to stay here!

Very nice old school motel with comfortable, recently renovated rooms. Staff was super friendly. The lobby has a bunch of vintage stuff in it from Rock Em Sock 'Em Robots to an old TV. Free coffee in morning was delicious from a local cafe. It lacks a lot of stuff that you might find in a chain hotel, but that's what makes this place special. Give it a try.

This hotel is really great value. For a reasonable nightly rate you can stay in clean and nicely furnished rooms a few blocks from downtown Bozeman. The staff is friendly and there is a nice coffee shop called Nexus in the lot.

Lovingly restored and very clean, this motor inn is absolutely a terrific deal for newly bougee Bozeman. Located very close to Main Street with plenty of parking and a coffee stand conveniently located in the middle of the u shaped property. Rooms are clean, modern, and continue to have the mid century flourish that provides that charm. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are as nice as any mid tier chain and the convenience of a door fronting the parking lot can't be overstated. Perhaps I'm reflecting on nostalgia but it sure is nice not having to wander past a front desk. Don't get me wrong, front desk folks are terrific here and are readily available to provide assistance and guidance for anything local. Heck, I got a suggestion for a steakhouse in Belgrade that was terrific! Definitely will return next time through.

A landmark since the 40's / 50's the Sapphire is a true gem. For 50 years, four generations of the Bendz-Klatt family have faithfully assumed the stewardship of this iconic property. Less expensive than the Quality Inn and Super 8 near the airport and soooo much nicer! The guy at the front desk recommended some spots for live music and we had an fabulous evening. The rooms are painted in fun colors and furnished mid century modern. Even the bathroom fixtures are chrome plated and reminiscent of the 50's. For fun, there's a device that simulates the sounds of a roaring fire. We played Sinatra and got in the mood. Of course the snow falling outside was an added bonus! Don't forget the complimentary coffee and flavored water in the lobby.

I would not recommend this hotel for one major reason, the drive up parking in front of your room. I don't like the fact that you are listening to the neighbors come and go all night long. Also, people think it's OK to sit on the porch in front of their room and talk loud all night, which is literally outside of your window, and our neighbors were smoking weed, and smoking cigarettes which seep through the windows, and wake us up or make us feel ill. Other than that the shower head was bad and the water pressure was weak- hard for women to wash hair.

It a very quaint motel.50's style decor. If ya don't mind a short walk,downtown is right there .

Retro 50's motel! This place is cool! It's located on the main street that connects the airport with the main part of town. It's an old-fashioned style motel, complete with an animated neon sign out in front! I found parking right in front of my room- convenient! The coolest thing about this motel was the bathroom fixtures. Seriously. This was one of the nicest toilets I've ever used in my life. Swish! The bathroom mirror was bluetooth capable- I don't know for what, but it was. The sink was some of the finest porcelain, and the shower was super luxurious. I don't know why, but these bathroom fixtures, all made by the same company that I've never heard of were really nice! The room was clean, had comfortable beds, and a nice view of a grassy square that was in the middle of the "U" shaped lodging area. The staff was friendly, and contacted me when I was running late, and told me that they'd stash the keys in an old tree trunk with lock boxes on it by the main office. The main office has the ice, and lots of literature on things to do in the area. The front desk clerk was friendly and professional when I was checking out.

I would prefer to give it 4 1/2 stars if possible as my criticism are semi-minor and it has to do with the no towel hanging capability's near the bath tub and getting the drapes to close tightly in my room; otherwise I enjoyed so much more than the hotels near I-90. I loved that the door was only feet from my car, so unloading was easy--it is a one story refurbished motel. Staff was polite.price was a little high for no breakfast, but location in central Bozeman was great with tons of nearby eateries. I was concerned about the noise from local bars, nightclubs or street, but it was a non issue, nor-did I hear my neighbors--yeah! I did awaken to a train horn in the night, which was surprising since no tracks nearby. I had stayed off I-90 the previous week and was awoken 5 times in The middle of night with train horns blasting-a miserable night, that was solved by staying at The Sapphire Inn in downtown Bozeman.

A great Motel newly remodeled and very clean. We had pizza delivered and we ate under the gazebo. A place for the family.

Super cute place. Absolutely love the old school vibe with the decor. Amazing bed- had a great night's sleep. Good size TV. The midnight check in was easy. I only wish there were blinds so we could sort of have the windows open without anyone being able to look in. The shower was deliciously hot- just wish it had a bit more pressure. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

What a great little place! It's super convenient, very reasonably priced in a town that seems a bit more expensive each time I come, and we were even able to get a room with 3 beds so we didn't have to get two rooms! Loved it and will definitely come back.
