Carrie Jonathan
Great little motel with lots of thoughtful details. Love the retro vibe.
David
Enjoy staying here when I go to Bozeman. Clean and comfortable. Love the retro motel style. Conveniently located and quiet despite being on a busy street. Staff was friendly and informative.
Mark
A great place to stay, all aspects were great. Affordable rate
Robin
This place is an absolute gem, better knowing it has been owned by a family for many many years. We loved the attention to detail, in terms of the mid-century decor and vibe. Everything was spot on. The beds were dreamy comfy and the room spacious and comfortable. I would recommend the Sapphire to anyone traveling through Bozeman, yet we had an issue that I feel warrants mentioning.
Less than 60 seconds into my morning shower, the water went… and I do not exaggerate, ice cold! I stepped back… tried to adjust the temperature… no joy! With a head full of shampoo suds, I had to lean forward to rinse my head under fridged water. I got out having semi-washed hair and not been able to properly shower.
My hubs went to the office to report the issue, and was told a report would be made to maintenance. “Sorry.” That was it.
An hour or so later, just before we were due to check out, he decided to try to shower and experienced the exact same thing.
When we returned our keys to the office, and he said, “wow, tried to shower a few minutes ago and same thing happened.” the response was, “Oh, you were in #41, right? Sorry about that. We did put a call in to maintenance.”
We are not hotel snobs, but such an issue at a motel charging $280 for one night is really unacceptable. At checkout, we purchased a deck of cards and a couple of postcards ($20+) and at minimum, we expected a, “Please, these are on us for the shower issue.” Optimally, we thought they could credit 10%ish. Food for thought.

Great stay. Will be back!
Kelly
This is the cutest motel! Retro style, clean rooms, comfortable bed. I will definitely stay here again.
Jennifer
This motel and will definitely stay here in the future. The rooms are very charming with special touches of a down theme. The beds are comfortable, and the layout of the room is perfect for a family of four including two teenagers. The location is also convenient to restaurants and a 10 to 15 minute walk to Main Street. There is a great ice cream place right across the street and also food trucks for late night Mexican. We would definitely stay here again when we visit at Bozeman.
Kathryn
We love staying at the Sapphire! We especially appreciate the retro motel vibe, clean rooms and nice landscaping. It’s close to food trucks, has an espresso venue on the premises and is convenient to downtown. The vintage bar ware makes me smile, thanks for your attention to detail!
Tom
Super cool retro motel.
Even matchbooks at the check in desk.

Pretty cool retro motel. Very clean and up to date on the inside. My only issue was working the AC. I followed the instructions that were on the wall to a T and it still wouldn't kick on, which made for a fairly warm sleep. Nice place though. I would stay here again, I would just make sure I got the AC running BEFORE I went out for the night, so I could call the front desk during normal hours if I had an issue.
ralph
Excellent staff, especially girl on duty in evening
Rob
Very clean and spacious room. The retro decor was as advertised and was very cool.
James

Susan
Fun vibe.
Pamela
The staff was totally wonderful. This retro motel is a gem
Samantha
Really nice and fun place to stay in Bozeman!
Dwight
We've stayed in countless hotels/motels over the past 30 years , and only a handful that have left a lasting memory. The Saphire has now topped our list of memorable stays. With its great theme rooms to the fantastic courtyard with era specific seating, it has set itself apart from the rest. If we ever travel back to Bozeman, we wouldn't hesitate to stay at the Saphire motel
Amy
We loved it! It's adorable! The staff was so helpful. We were able to park right outside our room. The room was cute and clean. Would stay here again!
Anne
Everything was so wonderful.
Beverly
Staff was very friendly, room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and entire motel had a cool retro vibe that my family loved. A highlight for us was playing some games in the coffee room. I would absolutely stay here again!
Liam
Great location close to downtown bars and restaurants. Clean, updated rooms and cool vibe. Loved sitting in the lawn area with a coffee
MONICA
Fun place to stay.
Love the courtyard!
Love the courtyard!
Jeff
What a gem. Family pride of ownership felt in every way. Old fashioned motel that has invested in and maintained the property very well. Easy walk to Msin Street where all the restaurants are. Comfy bed, plush linens, great heating and cooling, great laundry facilities, nice sitting area on front lawn and so many nostalgic touches from the classic car in front, old black and white TV in lobby and Formica furniture in the lounge.beautiful bathrooms with chicken wire tile and classic fixtures. Unfortunately no breakfast option. Would absolutely stay there again.
Chad
Great retro motel. Close to downtown. Staff friendly and helpful!
Donna
The room was clean but the beds were just okay comfort wise. The shower only had two temperature options… boiling hot or lava. I had to stand at the back of the shower and splash water on myself. They do not have a pool, my fault for not checking on that one. It’s fairly close to down town but not the best if you want to walk to shopping. The staff were very friendly and it was an easy check in and check out.
William
Nice update to an old-style motel, and a very handy location. Some of renovations were a bit \"incomplete.\"
Richard
This is great place to stay, very clean and I loved the retro rooms. Staff were very helpful and the location was close to the downtown.
Beth
We only stayed one night at the Sapphire but we loved it! The rooms are huge, the property is clean and so well done! So many great details. Coffee in the morning is actually good, tons of options for tea. Hotel is within waking distance of main Street and tons of restaurants etc. staff was so nice and helpful.
Amy
Excellent room! Everything was comfortable from the bed to the towels and every detail was thought of. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
susan
Wonderful motel. Fun retro decor with lots of details. Sparkling clean room. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.
Jennifer
Very neat and tidy retro stunner. All the touches were appreciated. Clean parking lot, safe area
Elizabeth
Love the vibe here! The decor is fun! The room was huge and comfortable! Super clean. The front desk staff was fairly helpful. Parking in front of your room is assigned so no worrying about where you will park. The wall was thin so when our neighbors came home at midnight, I was awakened by their loud talking and blaring the tv. Otherwise it was a perfect stay!
Peter
Loved the retro 50's, 60's and 70's retro details. Property was well maintained and easy to find. Great laundry, library and coffee bar. Food trucks across the street. Would definitely stay again when passing through.
Saturnino
Fun retro vibe but still felt modern and well kept. Definitely a hidden gem.
Colt
I was presently surprised, really well run operation and very clean
Suzanne
Lovely big, clean room with great amenities. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Love the parking space right outside the room. Such a cool, retro vibe too.
Katherine
Fabulous hotel, big and well equipped rooms. Designated car parking space outside room and super friendly staff.

Very well maintained, convenient location to downtown Bozeman and great morning coffee! Sapphire Motel is a well done 50’s retro property. We stayed 3 nights and found our room (king bed) to be well sized, very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend.

A throw back to the 50’s. A very cool mid century modern motel.

Room and location was great, the sound from the neighboring room was loud.

We loved this sweet motel! right in the middle of Bozeman!
Vintage feel-& everything was perfect!
The staff was lovely and helpful. We thought the price was a steal for this place! Will definitely book here again!

Extremely clean. The furniture was retro mid-century. I was a little worried that it was going to be aged and dirty. Have no fear, my room was like brand new.
Sophia
Staff was very kind and helpful!
Janet
I have stayed at many hotels in my 70 years and this ranks up in the top 10. The attention to small details on retro is amazing!! Records in the breakfast room, light switches in the bathroom, location is amazing and price hard to beat in Bozeman!! Highly recommend.
Emily
This was a quick stay for us after flying into Bozeman before driving to Yellowstone. Amazing place. Clean, stocked, polite staff, great location. Loved it and would highly recommend.
Mistelle
Everything we thought it would be … it was and more! Loved everything about it and if ever in Bozeman again - this will be where we stay no doubt. Do not miss out on this fantastic gem :)
Diana
The sapphire Motel it’s so cute with its retro vibes. The front desk was very helpful and kind. They have really great teas and coffee options near the main lobby as well. I was board games which I really love. The room was nice and comfortable and spacious. Very clean. My only issue was the hot water ran out pretty quickly when showering. However, I will admit my boyfriend does use a lot of hot water in comparison to me and I showered second. The bed was nice and comfortable. Highly recommend this place.
Joy
this was my third stay here. Love it every time. Great spot. spotless. Staff always amazing. wish there was a Sapphire in every town I visited!!
Emily
This is my favorite place to stay in Bozeman (when I don't need a pool for the kids!)! Always clean and tidy, friendly staff, great parking right in front of the room, and super cute, restored vintage rooms. I stay here two to three times a year for shows and have never been disappointed! Thank you!
Damian
No place to drop off keys and parking pass when leaving early
Caitlin
This motel was excellent on the details, not just in executing the aesthetic touches (bath fixtures, ice buckets, cocktail napkins, swag lighting!) that make it charming but on the things that make a stay pleasant. Three layers of curtains to manage your privacy and light/dark needs. Dedicated parking in front of your room. Very good coffee in the cute little coffee lounge, which we didn’t get to enjoy on our second stay because we had to leave very early, but there was also a nice CLEAN little machine in the room. Comfortable beds, white noise machine so we didn’t have to unpack ours. Plenty of outlets near the bed and so on. Microwave and mini fridge for sure came in handy.
The staff were also pleasant and helpful. If I could recall the name of the woman who checked us in on our first pass through town, I’d shout her out—she gave us some good recommendations when we were looking for something other than the beige junk we’d been eating on the road (we did hit up Whistle Pig and the grocery co-op, thanks!). Plus, it was just a great value, you can hardly find a place this nice and clean here in Minneapolis for what we paid, and we were staying around Memorial Day weekend when I would think tourism around Bozeman climbs. Whoever is behind this motel is doing good work in the dying art of hospitality, so cheers to that. We loved our Montana trip and will be back; we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Loved this place! Clean, cute, fun, and funky! Great common area with swings and games - wonderful way for our kids to run around after a long roadtrip. Great service, nice amenities including games to Liam, local coffee, a variety of teas. Easy parking made loading and unloading luggage so quick! Can’t wait to stay here again!
Tom
Fantastic place!! Everything was great!!
Darren
The room was amazing and the location was convenient.
John
Iconic 50’s historic motor lodge, very clean, friendly and well maintained.
Javier
I loved this place. The 1950's style down to the phone. I will definitely stay there again
Reed
Neat 50's themed motel in a nice location, easy walking to Main Street and the food and shopping there. Nice touches throughout, including an old rotary dial phone that worked. Very reasonable price.
Crystal
Amazing staff. Third time staying here.
Meghan
We had never been to Bozeman, everyone at the Sapphire Motel was welcoming and helpful. Bozeman as a whole had some of the friendliest people. We had a wonderful stay and motel was clean and very comfortable. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much!!
donald
Loved it
Sandra
We had issues with the TV, but they got maintenance there and problem fixed very quickly. Each room has an assigned parking space right outside your door which is very convenient. The beds are small when compared to what we are used to at home, but that is part of the nostalgia of the place.
Kathryn
Great hotel. Fantastic employee who checked us in.
Twila
Absolutely the cutest motel! We snagged a night here on a long road trip and it was such a gift to our tired bodies. Loved taking a twenty minute walk into Main Street for great food at Montana Ale Works (great food!). The decor is gorgeous and the staff was super helpful. Don’t miss the Yellowstone coffee in the coffee room!
Theodore
Great place. Fun decor - themed hotel.
Jeremy
Easy outside parking, spotless room and bathroom
Bailey
Such a great stay! The classic motel feel is both nostalgic and convenient. Rooms were clean, parking right outside our door was so nice, and the neighborhood felt extremely safe. 11/10 experience!

Her favorite place in Bozeman it's a good kept secret so don't stay there
Greg
The room was big enough for what we needed. Very clean. Very nostalgic. Would stay again

Wonderful stay. Nostalgic and comfortable. Clean and spacious room. Updates are modern and in keeping with the old motor lodge feel. Parking was right in front of the door the neighborhood was safe.
Jessica
Very friendly staff. Good location. Updated rooms but not fully renovated. Still some original character/wear. All in a very nice stay for the cheap Sunday price.
Mick
Low water pressure.
Big room but very poor lighting.

It is so beautiful here, so clean and comfortable, quite quiet. Staff is so kind. There is a group of food trucks across the street and a coffee hut in the parkibg lot everything you need super handy, and no stairs, big plus for me!!
Wayne
This place was an unexpected delight in a sea of mundane motels while on the road. Travel back to the 60's but in very up to date fashion. You will be very pleased.

Great place to stay, very cool decor.
