The hotel's renovated lobby dates from 1920 and has terrazzo floors and copper accents. Rooms in the motor lodge are modest but if you stay in the main building you will find them more decorative. Pets are allowed in the motor lodge rooms only. Enjoy the historic photos and retro furniture.
Smoke free premises. 56 units, some two bedrooms. 2-3 stories, interior/exterior corridors.
Pros: Very comfortable bed and friendly cleaning staff. Nice fridge and microwave.
Cons: No coffee pot in the room.The parking lot is pretty tight.

Pros: The Finlen is the classic hotel of Uptown Butte, Montana, with an updated flavor of the 1930s-1950s. It's got the Cavalier Lounge off the lobby, and is close to dining options. Free Wi-Fi, cozy rooms in the Main Hotel with steam heat. Nothing else like it. A great neon rooftop sign points the way.
Cons: Tiny parking lot for big vehicles, so look for a spot nearby on the street if you have a large pickup or SUV.

Pros: The main hotel is classic and gorgeous inside the lobby.
Cons: The motor lodge where the rooms are located is dated, and a little ratty. Decor is light years old. It's a simple block wall motor lodge, and the smoke alarm went off when I took a shower, I guess from the steam.
There are probably better choices in Butte, but I only stayed here.

Pros: Located near to two good restaurants.
Cons: The hotel is located in an old part of town much of which has been demolished or is boarded up. The receptionist was sullen and unhelpful. The wifi in the room was erratic giving only minimal speed and there was no coffee making facilities. When this was questioned the receptionist said she would try and get the Internet improved, but with little effect, and stated that coffee was only available in the reception area in the morning. The in room information brochure stated that free complimentary coffee was available in all guest rooms. The room next to ours contained some mechanical apparatus which operated at random times and sounded like a high speed hammer drill. Overall unimpressed and overpriced.

Cons: We were there on a Saturday night and the street noise from drunks congregated outside the Acoma Lounge went on until wee hours of the morning. Sunday night was much better!

When we went to our room, I noticed an error on the receipt that she had given me. She appeared to have only checked us in for 1 night instead of 2. I returned to the reception to remedy this. She was eating a bowl of pasta behind the reception desk, which was very off-putting. I explained the problem. She took the receipt from me entered some details on the computer, printed a new receipt and handed it back to me, all without speaking a word to me. Not even one word. I said thanks and then she say "Aw haw". No word of apology from her.

Pros: We stayed in the motor hotel side, the beds were in separate rooms, very firm which was nice, the room itself was perfectly preserved from its original construction, everything worked, you could see there was a fine attention to detail, I love the old school charm of the place. We went to the supper club a block away on the advice of the desk clerk, was the best meal of the trip as good or better than anything in Vancouver. Butte itself is the best and most unique town in Montana and a multi-night stay at the Finlen is a must!!

Pros: The Finlen is like getting into a time machine and stepping into Butte about 1955. The lobby and ballroom are amazing. Our room was modest and updated, but the basic feel was past glory. We spent a day exploring uptown Butte and the location is perfect. The Uptown Cafe, best restaurant in town, was nearly across the street. The M&M bar was around the corner. Everything we wanted to see was within easy walking distance.

Pros: Location was excellent, i.e. in the middle of the historic district. Great view of mountains to
the south and east, still snow capped in June.
Room and accessories all neat, clean. The hotel has retained many of the old fixtures and has some updated items. Room was quiet so rest was accordingly peaceful. Good selection of cable channels without overabundance or repetition. Hotel lobby is elegant, spacious and gorgeous to look at.Many places to eat, visit and find entertainment with a few blocks.
Cons: There could be a more modern snack/ice room as these don't need to be in a far away
room, poorly lit and not well ventilated. In the
middle of winter this would be a place to get warmed up from the heat generated by soda machine and ice machine compressors. Carpet in hallways and elevators was not appealing and could stand to be replaced .
