Beautiful new hotel with amazing amenities! We frequent CS driving back and forth from TX to MT and this was a great hotel for us. We have two small dogs, it is pet friendly. They gave us dog treats, a water bowl and a toy for the dogs. The lobby bar is great and we enjoyed dining at Pamela's. They were able to get us in last minute. The bed wasn't super comfortable but the room was cozy and it was a great price.

Limited menus and dining options. Pamela’s had a strange dinner menu, two sections were for shared items with your table, individual plate menu very limited. My husband got an individual plate, so I got a salad because the options weren’t great. They were out of hamburgers, so there were only a few choices, none sounding very good. Maybe they will expand the options after it’s been open longer.

What a fabulous property! The common areas are very well appointed to handle large groups for casually visiting. The rooms, although not large, have everything one needs and have wonderful linens and lighting. Only two areas of complaints and they are entirely personal. 1) The coffee pot in room only makes expresso, which was a disappointment to this coffee/tea drinker. 2) No restaurant or room service served food after 10:00, which was a disappointment when we were hungry after our late evening activities. This may be something they change as the season picks up. The highlight was the attentiveness of the staff. I have never received a text at other hotels inquiring when would be a good time to tend to my room when I had the Do Not Disturb sign on the door. Very classy. I must give a shout out to the staff at Pamela’s who accommodated our large and ever changing number in our party. They were very flexible and professional and provided a very memorable night for old friends. We can’t wait to return!

Incredible hotel!
This hotel is amazing. Every single staff member we encountered offered top level service, super friendly. The entire hotel was spotless. The decor is high end and there are lots of food options! We loved our stay and were disappointed we were only here one night. Definitely retuning to stay if ever in the area again.
