Where should ASU fans stay in Missoula?

Double Tree, Days Inn, Thunderbird, Campus Inn, Bel Aire Motel . . . Reserve Street's hotels are close to an exit- if you're ok with driving. There is a plethora over there. C'mon Inn, Grant Creek, Staybridge, Hilton, Holiday Inn Express.. . . Ruby's. . . the first listed are within walking distance. The Holiday Inn downtown though. . . or the Days Inn. . both right downtown. . . can stumble to both the game and the festivities afterward with ease. . . .

If all you want is a really cheap crash pad very close to the bars and within a 15 minute walk to the stadium, the Days Inn is the choice. But the place is a crap dive. I know, because I stay there more often than I care to admit. Their idea of quality service is charging your credit card twice. But if all you need after a hard night of drinking is a hotel within crawling distance of the bars complete with smelly carpeting and a bed only slightly more comfortable than the bathtub, the place is a five star choice!! :lol:

Don't even consider anyplace besides the DoubleTree or Holiday Inn Parkside. Trust me on this.

Why?? I have stayed in almost all of them and they will all do if all you need is a bed to sleep in and a hot shower.

One edit. The Bel Aire on Broadway is questionable for hot showers. I stayed there with my buddies the night of my bachelor party. The water was just short of warm piss. Carry on.
 
Others have offered many good choices for lodging. My only suggestion is go to Travelocity, Expedia, or Hotelsdotcom and look at their maps to get an idea of their proximity to the campus and downtown. The stadium is next to the river on the north end of the campus, and downtown is the epicenter of beverages. Ideally you want a hotel from which you can walk to either (there are at least a dozen options). So find a spot that suits you. Finally, Welcome to Montana (in advance). :ugeek:

Yes. The Montana Highway Patrol has a mobile DUI unit set up across the river from WG stadium so walking back and forth to the game and bars from your hotel is an excellent idea. Myself, I make my wife drive.
 
You also can ride the buses from many bars throughout Missoula. A number of those bars are close to hotels and motels.

Usually cheaper to fly into Spokane. Of course if you then have to rent a car it could end up being a wash. The drive from Spokane to Missoula is not bad that time of year. In the winter it can get kinda tricky because there are two mountain passes to cross over. My wife and I have flown out of Missoula and out of Spokane, but we can use our own vehicle and have relatives in Spokane where we can park it, so rental cars don't come into the equation for us. Look forward to see App St. and fans in Missoula in August!

We drive from 75 north of Spokane for all home games. It's not bad drive that time of year. Definitely a cheaper flight than to Missoula. PM me closer to game time and ill give you directions to our tailgate.

If you do fly into Missoula and decided to stay downtown, you won't need a rental car. Everything -- bars, great restaurants, the University and stadium -- would all be within a 10 minute walk.

Just personal preference. I'd rather spend more on lodging and stay at a decent place. If you want to cut costs, eat at the Mo Club rather than Finn & Porter. :thumb:
 
As an out of towner who stayed in Missoula a couple of times this summer I wouldn't stay anywhere but Doubletree, and the key is to BID it on priceline. Close to campus is a bonus, just across the river.
