"A grand experience"

I wanted a nice place to stay in Helena without the hustle and bustle of hotels by the freeway. I found this location and thought I would give it a shot. I am glad I did, the location, the staff, the rooms and the breakfast were 1st class. Very quiet in the halls, rooms excellent and the morning breakfast was refreshing. We will most definitely make this property our place to stay in the future.
