Bozeman has a full complement of chain motels, most just off I-90. In addition to the places listed below, you can stay at the Best Western GranTree Inn, 1325 N. 7th Ave., Bozeman, MT 59715 (tel. 800/624-5865 or 406/587-5261); the Fairfield Inn, 828 Wheat Dr., Bozeman, MT 59715 (tel. 406/587-2222); and the Hampton Inn, 75 Baxter Lane, Bozeman, MT 59715 (tel. 406/522-8000). The above are all at I-90 exit 306, and have rates for two in the $80-to-$150 range.

The lodge-inspired accommodations feature thoughtful amenities such as in-room exercise kits and a lobby pantry.
