“Bel Aire Motel's 50s nostalgia certainly sets it apart in Missoula. It seems a solid pick for those wanting to be near the University of Montana and downtown; the renovated rooms and friendly staff suggest a decent stay, even with ongoing improvements. I'd say it's a reasonable choice if you value location and a touch of retro charm.”
