ALICIA
I highly suggest if you stay when the restaurant is closed walk across the street to the Antler’s for breakfast or the Switchback for lunch or dinner! Also no coffee or water cups available in rooms. If you want coffee you have to go to the lobby but if it’s before 6 am it’s cold and old. The pool and the hot tub were the best part of our trip. My son has autism and has irregular hours so coffee availability would be great!
Stephanie
Dated, but does the job. Nothing fancy.
Damon
Tv didn't work. Hotel was under renovation didn't tell us when we booked.
Monna
The lobby is stunning, but unfortunately that’s where the positives end. Check-in was abrupt and unfriendly, our keys had no room numbers, and we received no information on WiFi, pool, or check-out. The rooms were just average, and a large barking dog at the front desk made the stay noisy. Gorgeous space, but poor service and lack of communication make this hotel hard to recommend.
Jennifer
1st room we opened the curtains it was the pool room so we had a window view of the pool awkward. They moved us to a different room later in the evening we found out the heat didn’t work so they moved us again 3 times we moved room very inconvenient. All rooms were lacking in the cleaning area.
Steve
We picked to stay at Venture Inn because it stated there was both a pool and a hot tub.
Very disappointed that the hot tub was not working and were not told until after we checked in, and obviously there was the issue with the drinking water, but that was beyond anyone's control.

One sheet had blood on it I was charged 70 dollars. Also the microwave in 112 is broken and probably still is. Wouldn’t open once closed I came here twice before and it was broke. Both times same room
Randall
My daughter is in a wheelchair and could not access the bathroom or the bed without being lifted into or on to. Really high beds. The jacuzzi is broken.
Bruce
Parking was great, easy access.
Karen
Retro- but really showing wear that needs to be addressed. Furniture banged up, drywall holes, missing baseboards. Carpet that REALLY needs replacement. Staff was good except for one person. Very overwhelmed with check in ( many teams for sports tournament created a bit of stress,)
I will say though- it’s clean. The cleaning staff are miracle workers keeping those 60’s bathroom looking good. Listen, if it was $100 a night I wouldn’t complain. But $360 for 2 days- next time I’ll AirBnB it.
I do think I got the “Expedia Room” though as others In-N-Out group were a “tad” nicer but still in dire need of paint, baseboards etc.

Loved the spa! Also the friendly front desk gentleman with the dog.

The door that went outside by our room was not locked and had to be opened by the handicapped button. It was load and could hear the ice machine and other doors closing when in the room. We were charged $50.00 for room damage, when I called the person that answered the phone didn’t know what it was for. When she called back she said it was for a pillow that we damaged, I told her that we didn’t damage a pillow and the quality of the pillows did not reflect the $50.00 charge. I asked for a copy of the receipt for the pillow, we will see if we receive it!!🙁
Lyla
Stay was fine. Older...hotel. was clean ..
Joyce
Not worth the money and not as advertised
The beds re 4feet high, bottom mattress was horribly dirty. Really cold in hallways, i would say to cover up rug smell. Restaurant was closed Monday and Tuesday two days we were there. No coffee pot on room likes says. No way to book room with pet so they moved us and it cost me more for the room and also 30.00 for dog. Would I recommend, NO, would i stay again NO.
Kathleen
Pool and hot tub are great, front desk very helpful, manager resolved a third party booking company issue quickly, rooms that have upgraded laminate flooring nicer than carpeted ones, bathrooms need upgraded, but everything clean.
Dollie
The restaurant wasn't open and I couldn't get WiFi and none of the staff knew how to fix it and I was on a work trip so it caused a lot of issues for me.
john
expensive. dated
William
You’ll be fine unless the morning clerk’s dog barks and wakes you up. Happened several times on two mornings. Why only coffee in the morning. Even toast would have been appreciated. A bowl of fruit would help. Muffins, yogurt, cold cereal. All inexpensive to dhow customer appreciation
Matthew
Nice stay
Nice spot to stay. Staff was accommodating and friendly. The rooms were clean.
Thomas
Front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly, helpful and polite. Breakfast at the on-site restaurant was excellent, very delicious! Front desk clerk also provided excellent recommendation regarding dinner options, as well as informing us about the “Clash of the Carvers” event, which we visited. We highly recommend utilizing this establishment if staying in Libby. Libby was a very nice town to visit as well. Folks are friendly and easy going. We’ll be back!!

Good Place to Stay - Will Come Back
Awesome lobby area. Sorry we could not try the restaurant as the hours were limited. Beds were comfortable.

rooms are not updated, feels dirty

I want to start by saying I rate places based on the expectations of the area and not compared to other places I have stayed. This is a rural mountain town, so don't expect glitz and gold. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable. The decor is very 70's, but it reminded me of growing up, and the fact that it lasted this long only further emphasizes how well the staff takes care of the facility. The biggest down side we had was other guests smoking outside our window, which is not in the control of the facility and staff.

Venture Inn Review
The front of the Inn and the lobby area is very nice. However, once you get through the lobby, the interior is very bland. Concrete block walls, narrow passageways, very military barracks looking. The rooms are very small, sparsely furnished and DARK. Limited tv channels and the internet connection is TERRIBLE. Constantly losing a connection. Our room was on the first floor with a parking area outside our window. It seemed like long term guests would congregate in this area and talk well late into the night.
However, the front desk and housekeeping staff were 5 stars. The restaurant is not open as advertised and we were only able to get breakfast (Wednesday) one day during our stay. The restaurant was very nice and food was very good.

Good quiet hotel. Price was high for a Sunday/Monday and would have been nice to know restaurant is closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Coffee was good. Beds were meh...ok but not great. Loved all the pillows though and comfy recliner in room.
Beth
While the lobby is clean and updated with some cool wood carvings, the rest of the hotel is in need of updating. The elevator is a little questionable, there is a sign that the doors sometimes don't open and there is no inspection certificate. The rooms are very dated, the toilet in our room ran all night long. I would not use the pool or hot tub, they looked in need of a good cleaning.
Anthony
Restaurant was closed, place was what I expected for the area. Bed was very hard to sleep in very uncomfortable. Location was good right in the middle of town.
Vicki
Overpriced for condition and cleanliness of property. Dirty carpet, musty, moldy smell and toilet seat was not even attached to toilet. Very noisy! Moved to a different hotel after 1 night.
Dwayne
No hot water
Travis
Older inn, but relatively clean. Giving it a clean rating because it didn’t smell.
Harry
Room was clean, staff helpful, restraunt was good
Keith
Everything was ok , except for the room’s carpeting. It was dirty or stained. Check in was easy. We used the restaurant for breakfast. It to was also good.
Sondra
The rooms were old, but very clean, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Would stay there again!
Yash
property is well maintained, but it could use some renovation in the facilities. The room was well and clean. The elevators seem a little bit old and some machinery was out of order. For example, washing machine.
lory
No USB ports for charging devices and only 3 available plugins on a power strip 2 of which were very loose and barely held a plug. Switch on bedside lamps very loose & one side quit working. Desk clerk was rude when I asked for an extra bath towel.
Mary
Three stars is being generous.
Don't count on having wi-fi or television in your room. We were there for a funeral, so we had lots of down time. The outside door doesn't lock so it is necessary to keep your room triple locked and leave no valuable while away. The restaurant was overpriced, and our bacon was obviously from the day before. The hotel staff was as friendly as could be. They were the only thing this hotel had going for it. (Not the restaurant staff, just the hotel staff.)
Linda
Lovely staff and restaurant. The lobby is beautiful with the wood sculptures. The rooms and pool area need to be updated. I didnt get a feeling of clean in my room. Our room was next to the road which had loud vehicles outside our window.
Robyn
It’s good. Clean.
Joan
Venture Inn is a cozy, welcoming, basic place to stay in Libby. So friendly, great breakfast in the restaurant and great dinner recommendation for the restaurant across the parking lot. Definitely recommend if you are visiting this beautiful part of Montana.
Robin
asked for a room that was away from hwy 2 because of the road noise.I wanted the back of the motel I got the side road where it meets the hwy. So noisy I checked out a few hours after check in. There is no coffee service in rooms, tv picture is fuzzy and hard to view the limited channels available, floor did not looked vacuumed very dated look to room for the price paid.
Jay
Really enjoyed our stay. Staff was very polite, room was clean and parking was easy.

Broken tv, loud, and rock hard bed that was not a memory foam like i reserved.

The only problem was the air conditioner in both of our rooms would not work and it was very hard to sleep.
Nicholus
I’ve been staying at the venture off and on for the last eight years to come visit My Boys and I enjoy staying here for the fact it’s got a pool and a hot tub but tonight there was a lot of basketball tournaments going and wrestling so there was a lot of families in the pool and enjoying the time of their life with their kids and I understand that there is a curfew on the pool but for $400 for two night and a full pool the cranky lady in the office came in there very rude and kicked us all out and on a second note, I get the open container rule. If it was glass this is the only place that yelled about a couple adults, having a beer can by the hot tub as we watch our children play. I just learned today that they were gonna put a comfort in here and I’m all about sporting local businesses, but I think the local businesses needs to serve a little bit more respect. Maybe it will be good for the competition to see how staying customers are treated.
Samantha
Pool and Hot tub were very dirty. Restuarant was closed when we arrived and when we left in the morning the resturaunt was still closed. Upgraded room had a tiny fridge and tv. The normal queen room had a bigger TV and fridge.
Colter
Feels like it hasnt been updated since the 80's, so be prepared. I literally shocked the light in my room with static electricity and it blew the bulb.....
Kenneth B
Both the room and hotel common areas were very clean. I thought the beautiful wood carvings from the annual wood carving championships were a perfect touch. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. These accommodations were perfect for my week stay.
Mark
Ok for a place to stay.
The stay was ok for what we needed it for. The room was ok. Nothing special. The beds are not height friendly for short people or children. They cannot get up without assistance. The beds underneath were super dusty and the shower had shampoo/conditioner dried on the walls so clearly wasn't cleaned thoroughly. For the price I would have expected more.
Lauren
Staff was super kind and helpful! Loved the wooden carvings in the lobby and outside the entrance. Hotel and rooms are older and pre-loved but kept in fair condition. Hotel is right next door to restaurant which was convenient after my drive from Kalispell.
Joshua
Great stay

Fast friendly check in. Restaurant on site. Great price.

My family has always stayed at the Venture Inn. We used to get a free breakfast but not anymore. We do love the pool and hot tub. Also some of my family is in the cemetery behind the hotel. I can visit family members past and present!

Hotel clean and well maintained. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would stay again if in the area.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Had breakfast at the Venture Inn restaurant and it was good. Would stay here again.

Really needs an update to rooms and pool area.
Mary
The room was clean and beds pretty good. The AC unit was a bit noisy but being able to open the windows at night for cool breezes removed that slight irritant. Ask for a room away from the street side if you like to open the windows.
Easy access to the Libby area and friendly host at the front desk.

Property is in need of massive renovation, bedrooms are very worn and old. lobby is lovely.

If you are staying more then one night make sure you request clean towels, and your bed made since they only do that every three days. I had two towels for three people to last. Since I didn’t know policy.
Verified traveler
Clean room comfortable, some staff undesirable
The staff when we checked in, was very rude, rolled their eyes when they were inconvenienced. Toilet ran constantly we had to remove the tank and manually get it to stop several times. Room was clean. It was comfortable staff in the morning made up for the staff from the night before would stay again would encourage everyone to not let the bad influence your stay.
Robert J
Can’t speak for other rooms but mine was quite dated and worn but comfortable. Sink was separate from shower/toilet in the room, could not adjust temperature as knob was stuck to room temp water.
Jessica
We always stay at the Venture Inn! It was recommended as the only place to stay in Libby! Plus, we can bring our puppy!

Stay was fair. Room was dated and needs to be updated. Was surprised there was not automatic daily room refreshing. Bed was not comfortable and hard.

Excellent place to stay, alittle bit older but verry clean and comfortable, I would say one of the most comfy bed we ever had.
Patrick
we loved the wood carvings
Pete
Liked the staff and loved the restaurant, did not get the trash emptied or a touch-up clean like I asked for. Pity, I'm a good tipper. The pool and hot tub were adequate, could stand a bit more cleaning but was happy have them. Thank you, Pete.

Thomas
Nice facility, friendly staff and restaurant was great!.
Jonathan
Nice and unique facility but even though some rooms are designated as non smoking there appears to be smoking allowed on premises as the odor permeates the hallways. Also has very poor WiFi signal combined with weak phone signal making communication over the internet extremely difficult
Courtney
Overall it was a decent room for the night, especially if having a pool is important. The park across the side street was nice as well. Multiple restaurants easily walkable, plus one inside for breakfast and lunch.

It is time for the Venture Inn to upgrade. Needs paint on the pool room walls and a deep cleaning of hottub and pool. Carpet in our room had multiple spots and was worn out in multiple places. Staff was courteous and bathroom and beds were clean. Elevator opened before arriving at floor. I hope to see better conditions during our next visit to Libby!
Linda
The room smelled. Probable because we were moved to a ‘dog room’ after we told the attendant we had a dog. Increased the price by $25 and moved us to another building.
The main hall of the building was filthy. We didn’t leave because we were exhausted from traveling. I assume staffing issues. I didn’t check the other two buildings.
The attendant did inform us the restaurant would be closing in 15” so that was nice. The food and service were excellent.

We stayed here for one night because we had soccer in Libby. Cute quaint older hotel that has been slightly renovated. The hotel definitely gives off the old Montana style! I loved that the room keys were actual keys! The pool was pretty awesome. The hotel is kinda boxy and squared off so it's easy to get lost in the hallways. Lobby is decorated super cute and front desk was nice and helpful! Disappointed the restaurant attached ro the hotel isn't open for dinner. I felt the price was on the higher side for what it was. Our family travels all over Montana and surrounding states for sports, and we've stayed at much nicer hotels that were less expensive than here. Overall, not a bad experience. Would stay there again.
Shan
It's just an older property and needs some definite upgrades. The lack of any sort of breakfast was disappointing.

Venture Inn in Libby Montana
This is absolutely the best hotel in the area. Love the lodge-like feel with so many chainsaw carvings on display. The restaurant has good food and friendly staff. The rooms are comfortable.
The handicap accessible rooms need additional grab bars and roll-in showers, plus additional space for a wheelchair.
