Travelodge by Wyndham Deer Lodge Montana

The staff were friendly and nice, and there’s lots of parking just off the interstate. The place was clean, but my bed wasn’t. Several young women nearby were noisy all night. Strange place.

The first room they gave us was still dirty from the previous guests, with towels everywhere and unmade beds. We asked for another room, and although it had been picked up, the sheets hadn’t been washed. They were stained and had hair from the previous guests. This was disgusting. We got a refund and left right away. Travelers, beware. No stars.

Our softball group stayed here for a game, and the experience varied by group. The seniors got rooms on the ground floor that seemed redone and were perfect, so if you stay, ask for one of those. The 8th graders found drugs and alcohol in their room, and there was a bag over the fire alarm. I can’t believe the room hadn’t been cleaned. The freshmen found boogers, strange runny yellow liquid down the walls, a broken TV, and stains and raisins on the floor. A few other groups had smelly, old rooms. Overall, a terrible experience.

We stayed during a winter storm warning. There was lots of space, and the beds were good, though the pillows were just okay. The bathroom was tiny, and you couldn’t really shut the door while inside. The views around there are beautiful. The heater was hard to figure out, barely worked, and took forever to warm the room.
