City Center Motel

Downtown Comfort Just Minutes from the Action

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly charm at the City Center Motel, located right in the heart of downtown Missoula. With clean, well-equipped rooms and a laid-back vibe, this motel is perfect for travelers looking to stay close to the city’s live music scene without breaking the bank. Just under a mile from the University of Montana and a short ride from the airport, it’s a smart base for concert-goers who want to be close to the stage—and close to their bed when the encore ends.

Rooms include free Wi-Fi, cable TV, a mini-fridge, and a microwave, making it easy to recharge both you and your snacks after a night out. You’ll also find complimentary coffee in the lobby to kickstart your morning, no matter how late your night went.

Why Concert-goers love it

It’s all about location. City Center Motel puts you within easy walking or rideshare distance of Missoula’s top venues and downtown nightlife. The area is generally quiet at night, so you can wind down easily post-show. With a 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out, the schedule works well for late-night arrivals and not-too-early departures.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends crashing after a show
• Solo travelers catching a dream concert
• Couples making a weekend of it
• Fans seeking a quiet, no-frills stay
• Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the motel itself doesn’t have a restaurant or bar, its downtown location makes grabbing a bite super easy. You're steps away from late-night diners, local breweries, and grab-and-go spots. Having a microwave and fridge in your room is a bonus if you’re bringing back leftovers or road trip snacks. Need coffee? It’s free in the lobby each morning.

Nightlife Options

Staying here means you’re in the thick of Missoula’s downtown nightlife. From live music bars to low-key lounges, everything is walkable. While the motel itself doesn’t host live acts, it’s a great launch point for an evening out—and a comfy landing pad after.
