Room
Jeff C.

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!

One of the cutest hotels I've ever stayed at. I was in town for work and couldn't have picked a more perfect place. The design details are so fun, the room was extremely clean, had a smart tv, and plenty of space. There was also a very convenient food truck corral across the street and a delicious breakfast place (Farmer's Daughter) right up the street. Bonus, when you look up under the canopy at check-in, it sparkles! Super friendly staff and a quick check-in process. Definitely recommend.

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.

Shown in room, describing the history of the hotel.

Everything went extremely well. Loved seeing and staying at such an historic place. The entire experience was so great - great location. Love the way they've decorated their rooms - great amenities. We took a lots of photos - and I still wear (proudly) the hoody I bought from thier gift shop that says The Sapphire Motel.

Clean motor inn
Steven E.

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.

What a beautiful place!!! We totally enjoyed our stay at the Sapphire!! Comfortable and easy sleeping beds!! The front desk manager is a doll and very nice to work with!! Stay here and totally enjoy!

See all

I have always been interested in the restaurants available in the Armory but I always thought I…read morewould feel out of place being there. This morning I decided to take some friends and myself to Fielding's. First, the ambiance of the space is absolutely beautiful. In a world full of sad beige decor, this restaurant utilizes the given space perfectly. With olive green booths, maximalist tile flooring, and beautiful paintings covering the walls, this place has character! Second, is the service. My group and I were taken care of by Isabella, who was absolutely delightful. She was kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgable about any and all food options + other inquiries. Last, but CERTAINLY not least was the food. You can tell when love is put into a dish and let me tell you, this food made me believe all the people in that kitchen were infatuated with me. During the time we were there, the breakfast special was a Banana Foster Waffle and I honestly have no words to describe how unbelievable it tasted. The chef, Jason, is INCREDIBLY talented and a true delight. It is clear that the people who work here truly enjoy their job. I could not have asked for a better experience with my friends and the staff. Being Bozeman born and raised, its always been hard for me to find a reason to go out for food because of all of the overwhelming options we have now. This place will now be my number one recommendation for anyone who asks "What is the best breakfast place in Bozeman?". Thank you Isabella and Jason for making the experience so wonderful!

I'm pretty loyal to my normal hotel brands but we decided to stay at the Kimpton Armory Hotel…read moreBozeman because we got a good offer through my credit card. To be quite honest, I don't think I'd stay here again when in Bozeman, depending on the circumstances. The hotel is nicely situated near Main Street and is an easy walk to many of the shoppes and restaurants in the area. Checking in was fairly easy and the person working the desk was extremely informative and friendly. The lobby was decorated nicely, with plenty of seating. It was strange that there were just stairs up to the front door, the accessible entrance was all the way around the building. We checked out other areas by the lobby. You can walk up to the balcony of the theatre and take a look at it from there. It was being decorated for Nutcracker brunch so it was super cute when we saw it. We visited the restaurant and both the bars. We also joined the social hour a couple of times. The social hour is great and I appreciated that they did this. We went up to the pool but didn't swim. It was nicely heated so you could be in it year-round. Our room was clean and smelled nice when we entered. The bed was comfortable and clean. We were on the 8th floor so there were no people sleeping above us so it was nice and quiet after the bar closed. For some of the flaws, I booked a mountain view and would not do that if staying here again. The train horn was super loud and went on all night. The shower leaked and the water landed on the huge metal plate over the drain. It was the loudest thing ever and we ended up having to put a towel in the shower to dampen the sound in order for us to sleep. Also, the fire alarm had a really erratic light that made no sense and sometimes lit the whole room up in an eerie green light. These flaws were fairly manageable. The worst thing (and the reason I might not stay in this hotel again) was late check out. They do it "first come, first serve" here, meaning you have to call around 7am to try to get a late check out, which is just given to you, no question about WHEN you need to check out. We decided to just hang out at the airport for the rest of our time because our late check out was just one hour. They also don't preemptively re-key your card, you have to wait until you can't get into your room anymore.

Just check out my pics... clean, adorable, comfortable!! Beds were great. I did get a suite so we had extra room, and it's probably the only room I would rent again as it is so absolutely lovely. Vintagey and mid century modern I cannot get enough of it. Tiny details everywhere you look. Staying for only one night is tragic, and I might cancel our 5 star hotel anniversary celebration last day of vaca splurge stay next week when we fly home just to stay here again. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Price is a little bit high but I think that's everywhere these days right but so worth it. Little bit of street noise but honestly nothing to really mention but I didn't hear any neighbors, not sure if that is the usual or not but I was extremely satisfied and happy and hope when we return I have the same experience. Be warned the cafe attached makes the parking lot completely full but it clears out after breakfast at least it did on a Saturday so not sure how that works for guests if they can't find parking! SIMPLY THE BEST.

Nice "lodge' atmosphere. Clean. Pool & hot-tub. Good breakfast…read more We liked this place. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Rooms and public areas were clean and up-to-date. We got a cozy two-room suite, which gave us privacy and saved some dollars. We were on the second floor, with an indoor-facing balcony with several chairs, opening onto the high-ceiling hall, with soothing "white-noise" from a pool full of giant koi goldfish. Cool! The swimming pool was nice, with windows to the outside so it was bright. Clean pool, and clean pool area. it was big enough. I think there were five hot tubs! Breakfast was pretty good. Hot eggs, sausage links, slightly spicier smoked sausage slices (yum!), grits, potatoes. Biscuits! Also a pancake machine! That was a little slow when everyone was there, but it was fun, especially for the kids. Good tasting hot coffee. A wide-open high-ceiling dining area. There's large fireplace in the lobby, of course not lit in July (2026). The top of the walls at reception are decorated all around with antlered mounted trophies. We loved the log-cabin look. It was like a resort lodge with all the conveniences of being close to downtown bars and restaurant and nearby big box stores.

My 3 night stay was a good one. The hotel is well maintained and relatively quiet. The location is…read morejust off the interstate with stores and chain restaurants nearby and it's an easy drive to downtown. The limited interactions with staff, they were friendly.
