This place is absolutely the best place to stay in Colstrip. It beats the hotel by a Montana mile…read more First things. Beautiful building. More like a high end hunting or fishing lodge. Seriously, straight out of annarchitechtrual digest ad for luxury lodge homes. The rooms all have their own bathrooms, super comfrotable beds (they're all adjustable!) and just an overall ideal place to stay. Thw breakfasts are large and delicious, served as early as you need to get going. And the owners are onsite and as hospitable as one could ask. There is a large kitchen as well, we cooked dinner every night to avoild subway implosion. If you're in town for outagr work there is no reason to look elsewhere. Rates are silly good too , we paid as much at the hotel. I'd give this place 10 stars if available, and taken in context for staying in Colstrip, 100 stars. Really.

Rails Inn is a pleasant surprise. If you are making the long trek through eastern Montana, you may…read morethink there is no place good to stay at between Miles City and Billings. If you demand a chain hotel, you are right. But if you are willing to consider independents, Rails Inn is a quality place to stay. It is an older building but well maintained; there is obvious pride of ownership so often missing in cheap small-town hotels. The WiFis is very fast. Even if you get stuck with a smoking room (as we did because of no advance reservation) they have installed plug-in air fresheners in all the smoking rooms. The room we had was acceptable for smell. The only drawback to me was the limited scope of the continental breakfast; toast, muffins, bagels, cereal, and freezer waffles. I like my protein in the morning, and not many hotels offer that. We paid $80 for a double queen. If you want a room with two recliner chairs, a big TV and one large bed, they have that too (we peeked a look while the maid was cleaning it), for $100.

During a ridiculous snowstorm, we were unable to travel further than Forsyth in late February…read more Unfortunately, we were traveling with two cats and it looked as if we weren't going to find anywhere to stay. We happened upon the Sundowner and we were able to get a room. It was exactly what we needed, when we needed it. Today I received a small package from the Sundowner. Whilst packing up and getting ready to hit the road again I had missed my sleep mask! The owners sent my mask to me. If that's not customer service, I don't know what is. Thank you again for a lovely stay.

Star removed for items that did not work. That would be the Keurig coffee maker & all the electrical outlets on one side of the bed.

I'm attaching a ton of photos I took to show my family how much I loved my room. Yummy squishy pillows, extremely hot water available in the bathroom (if that's your thing), the most thoroughly stocked "kitchen" area I've ever had, and Amy at the front desk is delightful. Doors DO open directly to outside, but that's not something that bothers me. In general, highly recommend. If you (like me) are sick of soulless hotel chains, give this place a try.

The city of Colstrip itself is deep within the roads from the main freeway. If I had known, I would have gotten to Billings instead. During check-ins at 9:22 pm, I can't believe there are still people waiting to check in, because they're doing it last minute. This just showed how many rooms are readily available for today, a start of the weekend. They do sell postcards for those who would like some. I do love postcards. There's a book exchange library. Such good ideas: take a book and leave a book.

I saw a review wherein the reviewer complained about the decor, but come on...it's an historic hotel owned by individuals. If you want the corporate experience, go find a Hilton or something. Yes, it's old...but that's the charm. Our room was immaculate, the perfect temperature, the shower and tub were great and the bed was super comfy. What more do you need?

Looking for room in Forsyth?…read more Come here. Really. My room had a kitchen. Air conditioning. It was clean. Everything worked. No loud obnoxious neighbors or threats of late night violence. And it is quite affordable and has weekly rates if your gonna be in town for while. The speedway cafe underneath provides good food. The bar is a great place too. Second best bar in Montana in my opinion. Bob, the bartender I always encountered, super friendly, entertaining, great stories, and great pours. It closes at 8pm, but if your looking for a low key evening with a few drinks the howdy bar is your spot. The entire staff I encountered were friendly, helpful, and just great people.

On previous trips through Forsyth on US12 (where it crosses I-94), I've stayed in another motel,…read morebut ate at the Speedway Cafe. When I realized it's in a hotel, I asked if they rented rooms... and indeed they do. So I've been staying here for the past five years enroute to a fall fishing trip in Minnesota from Seattle. It's a very old building, in the hotel business since 1905. The rooms for those staying short term are nice sized with a "full" bed. No plethora of pillows, which is fine by me. There is a small bathroom module that was added some years ago - pretty tight, but has a toilet, sink and shower/tub. It's clean, has very nice towels, air conditioning and a small refrigerator. WiFi has been elusive in my visits. As it's a railroad town, I get great cellphone reception so I tether my computer to my phone. The price is right - has a bar right downstairs, and the Speedway Cafe has the best chicken fried steak anywhere (according to my wife, an expert). You can even get pickled herring at the salad bar. And even if you're not eating there, take a look at the 3D mural on one wall. Incredible!! No free breakfast, but you have the Speedway Cafe right downstairs. I stay one or two times a year as I drive through in the fall. Note that it's across from the train yards. I used to hear trains, but they've cut back and my last visit had no trains at night.
