Checking in and out very easy. Friendly staff. We stayed 2 nights and have no complaints. Room was clean, quiet & well maintained. Normal size room with a microwave & fridge. Laundry was just down the hall. 1 washer & 1 dryer. $1.25 for each & had a machine to purchase laundry supplies if needed. Breakfast was a premade egg with cheese on English muffin with sausage & bacon on each. They were hot and good. I like bacon & Hubby prefers sausage so we swapped meats. They had other basics like boiled eggs & cereals. It was close to town & easy to get to sights. There’s a large grocery store just down the road along with other stores. We had no issues & enjoyed our stay.

I do 100+ nights with Marriott a year and it's rare to have one with Internet so dysfunctional as this one. Really would not work, period. They admitted this was a common issue but didn't seem to know how to rectify.

The other thing I found shocking was the lack of mask-wearing despite it — supposedly — being a Marriott brand standard.

Anyway, do you need to stay in a Marriott in Helena? Stay at the Delta or the Residence Inn. Do you need to stay at a Fairfield in Montana? Stay at the one in Butte or Missoula or Bilings. Do you need to stay at a limited-service chain hotel in Helena? Try the Holiday Inn Express. That was where I ended up after leaving this hotel early.

Bottom line, this one should probably be de-flagged, sadly.
