I stayed here one night while passing through Montana.
This motel is a 'classic' 1950s era motel from the days of "Route 66" (in this case, Route 2). It is not fancy, but it is extremely clean and very well maintained. All the stuff that you would want to be original (beautiful ceramic tiles in the bathroom, original bathroom fixtures, etc.) is original - and perfect condition - and all the stuff that you would want to be totally modern (the mattress, the flat-screen TV, etc.) is totally modern.
The motel has an indoor garage - quite unusual for a motel - that is certainly a nice luxury to have in the middle of winter or at the height of summer.
Friendly staff, very good value.
The only "problem" is that Shelby is a railroad town - the BNSF railway main line runs through town. So, you hear the train whistles about once an hour. The O'Haire Motel is about 3 blocks away from the rail yard (all the other hotels and motels in the town are right across the street from the railroad line), so it is probably the quietest place in the town. But... if you don't like train whistles, don't stay overnight in Shelby!
