$$

This column indicates the typical price range of this hotel. We use the following codes: E=Economy (under $50), M=Midrange ($50 to $100), U=Upscale ($100 to $150), L=Luxury (over $150). Please note that room rates fluctuate (seasonal popularity, special events in the area, etc.).

Miles

The approximate distance in miles from the exit to the hotel. These are calculations using GPS data. Distances along city streets will be somewhat different but this should give you a good idea of the distances to Discount Hotels near the cited Interstate exit.

Fit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Missoula offering  'fitness' or exercise facilities are indicated with an F in this column. If the hotel also has a spa, it is so indicated by an S in this column. Most hotels define a 'spa' as a large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the hotel) in which case dressing rooms are also present for your convenience.

Kit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Missoula offering a full kitchen or 'kitchenette' are indicated with an 'K' in this column. An 'M' in this column indicates microwave available. If the room also has a refrigerator, it is so indicated by an 'R' in this column. Many hotels have some rooms furnished with microwaves and small refrigerators but you have to request them. We list them only if there is not an additional charge (or so they have informed us).

I'net

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Missoula offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord (which you should always have with you, anyway).

Missoula

Visitors' Center - Just over the railroad track and around the corner from I-90 exit 105 is the Missoula Convention and Visitors' Bureau - always ready to fill you in with interesting stories, tips and directions about this fascinating area. Of course, Lewis and Clark are one of the main topics. Hells Gate is another. What is Hell's Gate. Ah, let them tell it. And make sure the kids can hear the story. You can phone the visitors' center (toll free) at 1-800-526-3465. Website: Missoula.
  Take exit 105, head south on Van Buren, cross the tracks and turn right on US-10. Go 1 block and turn left on Jackson. Another block and turn left again on Front. The Visitors' Center is almost mid-block on your right.
