Our Annual Retreat

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Jul 2024
This was our seventh stay in the last eight years at The Great Northern for our annual fishing vacation. We love this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained; the front desk staff are intelligent, helpful, and friendly; supporting staff are very attentive. The place is just extremely well managed. The hotel also is perfectly situated for downtown activities and convenient dining. Well done! See you next year!

I've stayed here many times in the past and have never been disappointed. The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. We walked to Last Chance Gulch, an 8 minute walk. Right next to the hotel is the Silver Star restaurant, one of the best restaurants in the state. You can't go wrong with staying here.

We were over for just 3 nights for fly fishing. The hotel is in a great location...breakfast was great......room was quiet, and the bed was comfortable. Internet connectivity was good. I would recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to Helena.

We had a last minute trip to Helena and the Great Northern is always are go to spot! Everyone is friendly and it is close to all the things. The breakfast is the best. The ham and homemade local salsa is tasty. We have been coming for years and this will always be our place to stay.

This hotel has basically become one large dog kennel. We paid for adjoining rooms for our family with small children and were told the only one available was in the basement which is also known as the “dog floor.” We were surrounded by dogs barking, howling, yapping at all hours. It smelled like dog food and wet dogs in the hallway. I was even attacked by some unleashed dogs in the hallway at one point! Our son is deathly afraid of dogs unfortunately, so this made our experience particularly stressful. An older gentleman even brought his very large dog, who was extremely nervous and anxious, into the packed small area for the continental breakfast. I have no problem with animals, but there should have been another option for people paying extra to change rooms when they didn’t appreciate being surrounded by animals. The staff were very nice and the location is convenient but for the price, I will be going to the doubletree downtown for my next visit.

Kathleen C I am sad you felt this way. You were in the family suite which is located on that level. I appreciate your compliments of the team and please know we would have been happy to assist you to change rooms as we were not 100% full this past weekend. Thank you for responding, this is not a common challenge for our guests. Thank you for your review.
