James
Locomotive Inn staff were really nice, and went above and beyond expectations. It was a really great hotel for a good price, and the most convenient place I’ve stayed on a long trip.
They even refunded my booking when I selected the wrong dates, when the mistake was totally my fault.
Great coffee and hot breakfast in the morning was a pleasant surprise too!

The hotel was very clean and breakfast was great!!
Arianna
This hotel is not correctly advertised. The listing says they have a pool. When I called they said the pool is at a neighboring fitness facility and that fitness facility closes early. The pool was not available when we needed it around 7:30 PM. We decided to cancel and find another hotel with a pool because we have been driving for seven hours with three kids. The pool was the only reason you were staying. When I called to speak to the manager about approving a penalty fee refund Joel was extremely rude… he claimed I had left negative reviews which I had not done and I have never done for any hotel ever! But just because he was such a difficult person. I decided to leave him a very pleasant honest review you’re welcome Joel have a special day.
Crystal
Staff were so friendly and helpful.
Paul
Adds state you have a pool and hot tub. You do not
Nicole
Nice clean room with good tv, comfortable beds, and good shower
Jason
Great hotel!!
Stephen
On an extended road trip with multiple stays in relatively inexpensive motels, the Locomotive Inn stood out. It seemed to be recently renovated so everything was spotless and everything worked the way it should. Plus an astonishing Elvis memorabilia collection in the lobby! Highly recommended.
Lori
Nice hotel with friendly staff. We would stay here again.
Veronica
Thanks for everything. Was great.
Regina
I should have read the fine print about the pool and hot tub. Not convenient to go to the fitness center across the parking lot to get to it. But overall the rooms were clean.
Jeanette
Best place to stay!! The staff at Locomotive Inn make supporting local businesses easy and pleasant. 🌻
Roger
At check-in, the desk clerk, Sharon was very helpful. I had an silly request and she made sure my room was at ground level and had a parking spot right outside my window so that I could keep an eye on my new motorcycle.
Lamanda
Sharon at the front desk is an absolute delight!
Alice
Breakfast was quite good; room very clean even in the corners of the floor! Staff super nice! Will definitely stay again!
David
It's an older motel that's been remodeled. Everything is clean, modernized, and everything works. Sharon? checked me in, and was super nice and helpful. I heard the train horns occasionally, but nothing that kept me awake or ruined my sleep. I would definitely stay there again. Great place!
Hannah
The Locomotive Inn was great! The staff is super nice and helpful. The location has some walkable bars, restaurants, and grocery. Would absolutely stay again.
ADAM
The room was nicely updated. The beds were very comfortable and the room was clean.
Douglas
We didn't get down to breakfast until about 7:30 and most of it was gone. The milk was old and stale. The attendant had to bring another carton and refill the pitcher. The AC was very noisy and kept me awake most of the night. It is obviously a very old property but seems to be pretty well maintained.
Jenna
The room was nice and the staff were great but the pool and workout room closed down at 9 before we arrived and the breakfast was very very limited, no fresh fruit, and sausage and egg patties that u could warm up and eat yogurt, no muffins or pastries so for a person like me I was limited to yogurt and oatmeal for options.
David
It's all good
Nancy
Easy to find, of street parking
Jason

Older motel but very well maintained, very clean and quiet.
robert
they tell you there is a pool and hot tub but they don't tell you that its in a separate business out across the parking lot and it closes at 6 PM on weekends.
Dustin
Decent. Nothing great. Clean and comfy beds. About what I'd expect for the price. Would stay again.
Elizabeth
The hot tub and pool are next door at a Fitness Gym. Great staff and clean. Pillows and bedding could use some refreshing, but I would stay here again!
Debby
Easy accessible!
Ron
This is a little hidden gem. For an older place it is very well kept for and you can tell the owners really care about providing a nice place to stay. Having access to the pool and hot tub and workout facility is wonderful. Breakfast was good but not great. We will definitely be staying here again as we pass through.

Everything here is wonderful. Good breakfast choices. Clean and comfortable rooms. Nice staff. Cute hotel. We stay every time we can, when passing through the area. It saves us from going into Billings. Easy access on and off of the interstate.

Breakfast items not all available until after 6am. Side entrance door you could barely walk thru because they had a golf cart parked in the doorway!!!!

Dennis
Great Stay
It was a great stay - I will use them again in the future.
Gary
Front Desk agent Sharon was very impressive in her professionalism and pleasant demeanor. Also very helpful with information about the area, and a good sense of humor! Support staff also seem attentive and pleasant. The room is pretty clean, maybe needs a slightly better vacuum cleaner ! Toilet works well, water gets hot quickly, TV is big and has lots of options. Nice little microwave and fridge. Proximity to shopping and eating options is convenient. The surrounding businesses are kind of crowded into a small confines so you feel a bit closed in when maneuvering out of the facility. The place is pretty quiet even on a Saturday night. All together, nice motel and very fairly priced with pleasant staff and clean amenities. I'd come back again !
Taral
Room was recently completely re-done, staff were helpful and welcoming.
Gerald
Clean rooms, helpful staff
Eric
An older motel but clean and comfortable. Right next to railroad and main street.
Robert
Perfectly fine
One night stay, got room on side away from railroad. Probably good as I didn't notice any. Decent Mex restaurant next door saved looking. Friendly staff.
Joanne
Beware. Called Locomotive inn for a reason. Very close to busy train tracks so trains going thru off and on. Older property. Clean. Average breakfast. Friendly staff.
Jody
5/5 – Comfortable Stay with Excellent Service
I stayed at the Locomotive Inn in Laurel, MT on August 16, 2025, and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We booked a standard room with two queen beds, and it was perfect for our needs.
The front desk staff was exceptional, especially considering we checked in around 11 pm. They were welcoming and efficient, which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travel.
The room itself was very clean and comfortable. The beds were soft yet incredibly supportive, and the pillows were just right — I honestly had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while.
When I first walked in, I did notice a slightly old smell, but it wasn’t strong or bothersome and quickly faded into the background.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel to others looking for a restful night in the Laurel area. Five stars!

Dated but okay
Betty
The staff was friendly and the room clean.
The complimentary breakfast was better than expected: Egg Omelettes, sausages, biscuits and gravy (all needed to be heated up in MW) plus great belgian waffle maker, juice and coffee.
Note: there is not a pool - that was removed and the space turned into a conference room - BUT their online information still lists the pool.
The motel is near the railroad tracks so train noise is present ocassionally. Very convenient location just a few blocks off the freeway.

The stay was just what any traveler would want; clean room, 1st floor, parked right outside my room, decent price.
Denise
Great stay. Friendly staff. Nice selection of convenient foods. Easy walk to Albertsons and nearby restaurants.
Jeff
Handy location and staff was very helpful and reasonable priced
Rafael
Only negative side to this when booking hotel it said it was in JOLIET MONTANA and its on LAUREL MONTANA
Peggy
It is right off the main road, an older property, but the staff was great and the room was clean and comfortable.
Matthew
Great bang for your buck!
To be clear, there are a lot of things I could’ve listed that could be improved, but all in all my experience here was a good one. As mentioned another reviews, the beds are exceptionally comfortable, the rooms fairly updated and clean, but the highlight is the fitness center, which is literally a day pass to the locally own fitness center next-door to the motel. Only drawback is the proximity to the railroad tracks thus the name.
Edward
The hotel was good, but their pool is in a separate building, Fitness building, which you have to get a pass from the front desk to get into, which was fine, but when we went over to check it out, some grumping lady says very rudely, says \"you can't be in here, we have aerobics\". So, if they got classes in there you can't swim. So, they really should not say they have a pool.
LeAnn
Like: clean, friendly folks, eateries near by (walking distance). Comfy bed
Didn't like: Drove right by 2x. Sign blends in when you are not familiar w the area.

The host was gracious and friendly. There was beautiful metal art outside, and collections to look at inside. It had a home like feel. The pool and hot tub are nearby and not open when you'd like them to be was the only drawback.
