I found the Sagebrush Inn as I was making my way from Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North…read moreDakota and heading to incredible Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming. Here...in the TINY, TINY town of Baker, Montana...you'll find the Sagebrush Inn. For myself, this was a good stopping point on my journey towards Devils Tower NM. I had just spent a fun filled day exploring Theodore Roosevelt NP and after driving a simple 79 miles here to Baker, Montana....I decided to spend the evening. I knew waking up the next morning I'd have about 150 miles remaining on my drive to Devils Tower. Though during my research I understood Devils Tower was situated in the middle of nowhere so staying at the Sagebrush Inn for the night was a fine resting stop. I will say...the Sagebrush Inn was sort of on the "rundown" side, but it was more than suffice for resting my head. The overhead sign could use a remodel, but I'm just picking at things some others may take issue with. Still, kind of interesting how a town like Baker, Montana....so small...they have 1 main street, 1 traffic light, a gas station, a restaurant or two and not much more...I genuinely enjoyed being there. There was something about such a minuscule town on the eastern border of North Dakota and Montana that I pleasantly respected. I think the fact that I was so far away from my hometown in Florida and what seemed like the normal reality of bustling towns virtually everywhere you go that lent to an appreciation for being in such an unknown part of the country. Here I am....writing only the 2nd review about this motel and I'll be the 1st to post a few pictures. So I guess my review about the Sagebrush Inn, although just okay, will hopefully get some more attention for any of the hardcore travelers out there like myself to take the time to consider spending the evening here. Once I checked in, my room was in fine condition. Simple...couldn't ask for more. The lady who checked me in mentioned she had visited Devils Tower NM plenty of times and that I'd truly admire it. She also recommended 2 places around the corner from the motel on the main street where I could eat dinner. I chose Heiser's...a bar/restaurant which offers typical American food like chicken, burgers, pizzas and all sorts of appetizers. After dinner I came back to the Sagebrush Inn and there was a chair positioned right outside my room where I sat down and watched the sunset looking out onto the street. It was by no means a pretty or picturesque view, but it helped me put into perspective just how far I had traveled to be in this portion of the United States and how probably no one out there's even heard of Baker, Montana. Still...it's times like these that continues to motivate me to keep on running, keep on dreaming and keep seeing just how extraordinary the world really is.

I stayed at this hotel after my car broke down, logged on to the WIFI and haven't been able to use…read moremy computer ever since. I would never recommend it. I have stayed at many different hotels and used the WIFI never had this problem before.

Questionable cleanliness, and the worst night's sleep I've had in a very long time. I arrived…read morearound midnight after traveling from Minnesota, and the place seemed a good enough spot to sleep and shower, which was my ONLY expectation. Seriously, my standards when it comes to my road trip motels are LOW. What really got to me was all the freaking NOISE, which started around 4am. Not even two glasses of wine and a Xanax could drown it out. I was on the first floor, and every time someone above me would move the whole building made a huge cracking sound. I could hear every toilet flush, every thud and bang overhead, every person walking by, voices in the courtyard, I could even hear when someone would clear their throat. I turned the fan on to help drown out the noise but there is no way to make it run continually, which means I woke up every time it shut off. I even turned the tv on for a while so I wouldn't notice the outside noises as much, but it didn't help. When I got up in the morning, I was actually IMPRESSED at how clearly I could hear the guests' conversations in the room next to me (No Patricia, your husband doesn't want to stop for coffee, he already told you twice). Now I get to drive another 10 hours home on NO sleep. Next time I'll sleep in my car!

Fantastic family run place with some of the best customer service anywhere. With the reasonable…read moreprice & clean room, if you're just passing through, save your $ & stay here. I believe some of the poor reviews from 1-2 yrs ago were before these new owners took over, so pay attention to the 2019 reviews. All the previous issues, especially with cleanliness, seem to have been fixed. Pros: * $68 inc tax for 1-nt. * Really pleasant staff, who go above & beyond for offering customer service. I didn't expect a phone call 15-min after checking in to ask if the room was okay, especially not from an M6. When I needed to stay over another night, Jennifer at the front desk just charged my card on file & sent me an immediate email receipt, so I didn't need to leave the room 'til morning to get my key re-programmed. One light bulb was burned out & I asked if I could get a replacement at the front desk... within 30-seconds maintenance showed up. They all also appear to enjoy their work... you don't get the feeling of anything extra being drudgery for them. They make for a very pleasant stay. * Room is the standard M6 style & super clean. Beds are comfy enough (soft but with support), pillows are cheaper, older & some flattened, but I had 3 for each bed, which made it better. * Mini fridge & m/w. * Plenty of strong lights, wall outlets & towels. * New shower stall with a nice, high shower head for those of us who are taller. * Strong, stable WiFi. * All the HBO channels. * Smaller bathroom vanity space, but there is a very long desk w/chair & underneath shelving & an area to hang clothing with 8 hangers. Good to know: * WalMart & Albertson's are 1/2-mi away as are a few sit down restaurants (the impressive looking Black Iron Grill, which appears to be brand new, is across the street), a few fast food places (McD's, Wendy's & Dairy Queen are 3-4 mi away) & there are 4 gas stations just within 1-mi. * There's a grassy courtyard in the middle of the property, so everyone's door opens into it. It does draw mosquitoes, flies & other flying critters, especially the day they cut the grass, so when leaving the room, close the door quickly... if you leave the door ajar, be prepared to be chewed to pieces at night due to the plethora of vampire bugs floating about. I had at least a dozen bites 'til I leapt around the room like a ninja with a flicking hand towel one night to eradicate them all. * It's a motel & like all M6's, offers no toiletry samples. So don't complain... those are offered at pricier hotels. * Lobby coffee from 5-10am. * Guest coin laundry. Cons: * Some repairs are needed... an outlet was completely out of the wall & out of code, but the TV was plugged into it & I just didn't go near it. It could be potentially dangerous & really should be fixed. As a quick fix, they could at least use duct tape to hold it onto the wall. * Wall a/c unit works great, but it is one of those annoying ones that turns off & on all night long, which wakes me continually. I just hate those & when traveling, by day 3, I've got to bump up in *** to stay at a better hotel for a more plush bed & quiet a/c so I can catch up on sleep. It's still great for overnight to a couple of days. * Lots of giant RVs & trucks around, so you do hear traffic going by all day/night. I'm a city girl, so I can tune it out... I just notice it when the bloody a/c shuts off. Solid 4.5* out of 5. Very nice stay. It was so restful, I stayed 3 nights. I'd definitely stay again, if ever passing through.
