We are from Anaconda and come home to visit frequently. Last night was our first night staying at…read moreThe Forge, though we'd eaten at the supper club the last time we were here (highly recommended). We checked into the hotel pretty late (after 10:00pm). The young man who was working at the desk was very friendly and professional. My husband had originally booked for two nights but realized we needed to add another night, and asked about adding another night on to our stay. He was very accommodating. We will have to switch rooms for our last night here, but that's not a problem at all. We were happy he was able to get us another night during the 4th of July weekend.
Rooms are extremely clean (look brand new still) and spacious, with a frig, coffee maker, and small microwave. I always appreciate an included hair dryer and iron in hotel rooms and I made use of both. Bed is comfortable with plenty of pillows. Our room had a couch, chair and table - everything you could want. Bonus points for the black "makeup" washcloth in the bathroom! You don't see that very often and I like it as I always feel bad about washing my makeup off with the standard bright white washcloths. Hard flooring throughout the room - a bit out of the ordinary for a hotel, perhaps, but they are kind of a wood look laminate and not cold like tile (I hate cold floors). I appreciated that you could tell they were clean, as opposed to wondering if the hotel room carpet is dirty or gross. I took advantage of the beautiful 72 degree weather and enjoyed my coffee outside in the comfortable chairs on the patio. There is a pool and small fitness center here as well, which is nice to have available when traveling.
I ran into the manager, Tammy, when I came downstairs this morning. She's very friendly (always has been) and though I already know her, she made a point to ask how my stay was, how the room was, and if I needed anything.
I found that the staff at this hotel really cares that the guests enjoy their stay. Though it is a chain hotel, they offer a home town friendly feel, and that you just can't beat.
Did I say how clean/nice these rooms are? Anyone who travels has experienced the "this room looked great online but it's disgusting in person" surprise at least once. I realize it's still pretty new, but it's easy to tell that they do make a point to keep this property in top top condition. The staff was even out wiping off the patio furniture this morning. Thanks!
