“So Very Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

We rented the Waterfront Condo #251 for a weekend. Driven by the desire to have a deck with a view of the bay. The Condo is nice enough but in need of repairs. Screen on deck door torn and door would not close and the deck itself was so amazingly filthy and the cheap cheap white patio chairs terribly uncomfortable! The bed was nice and comfy and the towels were thick and nice--BUT had long black hair in most of them??!!
1/2 inch of dust on all furniture. The bathroom fan did not work at all so the condo stayed very humid. All in all, just was not impressed at all for the price! We have had better rooms at a Quality Inn!

Room Tip: Ask about condition of deck and condo. When was it updated. Maid service?

“A Very Pleasant Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed 4 nights in unit 362, a two bedroom, 2 bath condo in the Hill West Building. From the living/dining room of the unit, we had a very nice view of Flathead Lake and the mountains to the west. The unit overall was very comfortable. The furnishings could not be described as luxurious, but were of good quality and showed little wear. The remote controlled gas fireplace was a much used feature. Full set of kitchen appliances, not high end, but again, functional. Surprisingly, bathroom fixtures seemed cheaper than the rest of the unit. Beds were of average comfort - those who like soft mattresses may be disappointed.

10 minute walk on snow covered sidewalks into the village or 3 minute drive to the small shopping centre - well-equipped supermarket, excellent little bakery/cafe, drug store, etc.

Would have no trouble being convinced to stay there again.

“Disappointing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2010

person found this review helpful

The pool area was very nice and we enjoyed the outdoor bar and live music. Our room was large, but outdated. No view or real access to Flathead lake was disappointing.

“Comfortable stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

person found this review helpful

The property is a little tired but the best in the area. We stayed in Unit 112 - a nice corner unit with lovely furnishings. I looked at several other units and by far the nicest. Some
were very dated and no ac. The resort is expensive for what you get, but then so is the
entire area. With a family having a kitchen is nice.
Double check your reservations, when I made them I had asked for room 112 but that is not what they confirmed.

“Failed to Meet Expectations”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2010

We were attracted to this property by the promise of a balcony overlooking Flathead Lake. We did have a pleasant view of an inlet but it was marred by a bridge a few years away that carries heavy traffic.

The decor of our unit was tired, it lacked imagination, and housekeeping was at a low standard.

The desk provides no service. When I asked about the location of the Honda dealer in Helena, the desk clerk did not offer to Google "Honda Helena MT."
