Descubra sua estadia em Livingston

We had a staycation in Montana for a special hunt, combined with our anniversary. On our way back home, we decided to stay in Livingston. I saw The Murray, read the reviews, and saw it was one of Anthony Bourdain’s Top 10 places you stay in the world. We like to try new adventures for our anniversary, and The Murray exceeded our expectation. The staff were wonderful, and we loved the 117 year old service elevator!! It was the perfect place to stay on the night of our anniversary. We even bought matching shirts to remember our stay.

I rarely leave reviews, but in this case the front desk agent was unwilling to resolve our problem, even though it was a direct result of his mistake. Our stay was decent, although the “breakfast” was just toast and coffee and the room was too hot for comfort. The real problem is that our stay was cut short. At 8:45 my boyfriend and I went to the car to load some bags. The front desk agent said goodbye and we replied that we would be back in a few minutes. At 9:15 we returned to our room to find the door propped open and a housekeeper inside. She was startled but acted professionally and apologized. She had already thrown out our portable coffee maker, toothpaste and toothbrush, food, and other small items. We retrieved the more valuable items from the trash to clean off. We then went to the front desk and asked the agent if he could replace or reimburse us for the smaller items. He blamed the situation on the housekeeper, even though it was entirely his own fault. The man told the housekeeper to clean our room almost 2 hours before the 11 am checkout time, despite the fact that we still had our key and informed him that we planned to return. He then offered us $5 cash and laughed at us when we said the actual value was more. I work in the hospitality field and there is no reason this man should have handled this so poorly. The invasion of privacy alone is unacceptable and he should have done more to make it right. It is also never okay to pass blame instead of taking responsibility. I am extremely disappointed in the carelessness of this employee.

It was a clean and great hotel, 1 hour location to the north exit of Yellowstone.

Located just east of downtown this proved to be a great stay. As always, pet friendly makes or breaks the deal so they did take Sammie for a reasonable fee. My room was clean and well maintained but was also going to be renovated after my stay. The property is quiet and I got two good nights sleep. No breakfast yet, (April 2021) but coffee is available in the lobby by 7 AM. It is an easy, short walk into town where food and other amenities are available. There are a number of attractions close by, Sacajawea Park and Meyer's River View Trail are two worth checking out. I did have an amazing meal at the Montana Rib and Chop House. Very reasonable rates and Cindy and Billy's warm hospitality topped off the stay.

The location is very good, it is easy to find and the parking lot is big enough. The room facilities are good, clean and comfortable, the hotel offers a complimentary breakfast, although not too rich, but the price is very high.
