A great stay in the '60's
The Sapphire motel is a cute little throw back motel. The decor takes me back to my childhood. It is designed andbdecorated to transport you to the 1960's with retro decor butnwith modern touches. I was surprised but in a very pleasant way. GREAT STAY!

I'm a Livingston local who commutes to Bozeman for my government work, and when I have to stay overnight in town for whatever reason, this is my favorite place. I love the midcentury charm, the staff has always been friendly, and the rooms comfortable - all while being relatively affordable (that is, between tourist seasons, during which I would avoid staying anywhere as a local). I can't overemphasize the good value for the sweet vintage vibes. Knowing what I know, it would be neglectful of me to not mention that the street Sapphire is located on is not especially well-regarded. However, it is far enough from the epicenter of problems on 7th and I have not once had a problem here. When dangerous driving weather rolls through, I will always check here first for availability!

I had a quick trip - only two nights but staff was friendly and the room was very clean and though the motel itself had clearly been there for quite some time had been well taken care of and maintained. It had a kitschy 1950s atmosphere (in the best way) which I enjoyed.

We needed one night having extended our stay in Bozeman on a whim. So glad we found this place! The midcentury decor is the star at this revamped motel and the thoughtful touches really make the stay special. There are signs in the room explaining the history of the property, and there is evident pride of ownership in this family-run business. Walkable to the main street with shops and restaurants, though we just ordered a pizza and stayed in. Amazing value for money, and the cleanliness is impeccable. I wish I could clone this place for cities I visit more often!

This 1950’s retro hotel is a great place to stay. It’s very close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Bozeman.
