What guests think
At Locomotive Inn, travelers consistently note friendly, accommodating staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a convenient location near the interstate with nearby dining and groceries, though the older property and proximity to train tracks do influence the experience.
Guests frequently praise very comfortable beds and spacious rooms, and some mention quirky railroad and Elvis decor. Breakfast feedback varies from solid hot options and waffles to complaints about quality, replenishment, or early wrap-up. Facilities are basic with gym access via a neighboring fitness center and reports of an off-site or unavailable pool; best suited to budget-minded road trips seeking comfort over frills.

The staff was friendly and the room clean. The complimentary breakfast was better than expected: Egg Omelettes, sausages, biscuits and gravy (all needed to be heated up in MW) plus great belgian waffle maker, juice and coffee. Note: there is not a pool - that was removed and the space turned into a conference room - BUT their online information still lists the pool. The motel is near the railroad tracks so train noise is present ocassionally. Very convenient location just a few blocks off the freeway.

The hotel was good, but their pool is in a separate building, Fitness building, which you have to get a pass from the front desk to get into, which was fine, but when we went over to check it out, some grumping lady says very rudely, says "you can't be in here, we have aerobics". So, if they got classes in there you can't swim. So, they really should not say they have a pool.

We were looking for a place that had a pool for my grandchildren to stay active and keep them occupied while other family members were doing last minute preparations for a family funeral. I called prior to making reservations to ensure hot tub/pool were operational were informed yes but never told they were part of a gym that had every few daily hours. When we arrived on Sunday were shown a piece of paper with hours later when I went to desk to take pic of hours I was informed those were July hours not August(it was Aug 11) and I would have to call the gym in the morning. Well when I called the gym them next morning at 8am where the hotels advertised pool and hot tub were I was informed the only pool hours for today was 6-8am. Also breakfast was told it was from 6-10am however they took it down at 9am. No one was monitoring when things were empty or needed to be refilled etc. Hall carpet was Nasty. Air conditioner/heater didn’t work

To be clear, there are a lot of things I could’ve listed that could be improved, but all in all my experience here was a good one. As mentioned another reviews, the beds are exceptionally comfortable, the rooms fairly updated and clean, but the highlight is the fitness center, which is literally a day pass to the locally own fitness center next-door to the motel. Only drawback is the proximity to the railroad tracks thus the name.

We were passing through and Locomotive was a great stop. It is older, and sort of dark on the bottom floor, but once we were in our room we realized how clean it was and very comfortable. We felt very safe. The front desk was very friendly and the breakfast provided a very decent start to the day.

Overall no complaints about this hotel. Front desk personnel was great. Room was nice and clean. Seemed like it was recently remodeled. One complaint is the door to the room latches with lots of play in the door. So it would rattle all the time. Also there is a huge gap at the bottom so you hear everything/everyone in the hallway. The beds are soft with large pillows. The bathroom was clean but ran out of hot water quickly. This is a hotel that a lot of local remote workers must stay at. About 5:30 am vehicles would start up. I had a big diesel truck right outside of my room that started and ran for about 30 minutes. The bad thing about it was that I had the room fan on so it sucked in all the diesel exhaust into the room. Which is definitely not the hotels fault but it sure ruined the morning. But I would stay here again. I would try to get an upper floor room.

Very nice hotel, comfortable, clean and spacious rooms. Only two minor problems, spray from shower head is weak and trains go by, which might be problem for some. Not for us. Also, there are a lot of fast food restaurants around, but only one regular restaurant, which is next door. It is a Mexican restaurant and it is very good. Great stay at good price.

It seems that this hotel is in the middle of an update (there were older furniture pieces in the hall at one point, but our room did not have such pieces and was nice and new). Even though they downplay their breakfast, it was quite good with already-cooked egg and cheese omelets (just warm them up in the micro-wave) and a waffle (made in one of those waffle machines) if you wanted one. The breakfast was better than some places I've been that advertise a hot cooked breakfast. The bed was one of the most comfortable that we have encountered in hotels, and the pillows were large, soft and fluffy. It is a nice place with a train theme throughout.

Front Desk agent Sharon was very impressive in her professionalism and pleasant demeanor. Also very helpful with information about the area, and a good sense of humor! Support staff also seem attentive and pleasant. The room is pretty clean, maybe needs a slightly better vacuum cleaner ! Toilet works well, water gets hot quickly, TV is big and has lots of options. Nice little microwave and fridge. Proximity to shopping and eating options is convenient. The surrounding businesses are kind of crowded into a small confines so you feel a bit closed in when maneuvering out of the facility. The place is pretty quiet even on a Saturday night. All together, nice motel and very fairly priced with pleasant staff and clean amenities. I'd come back again !

Nice property and most of the staff were very friendly. They baked cookies for everyone to take one. After getting back from dinner and a movie one evening, my coworker and I arrived and I went to grab a cookie. The lady at the front desk insisted that I tell her my room number before I was able to have a cookie. I felt treated like an outsider instead of a guest. I chose not to give her my room number and asked her not to come to my room. She seem like a matronly, grumpy, frumpy, unhappy soul. I paid for three rooms, five nights each for myself and two coworkers. I will stay again, but avoid the Cookie Monster. Everyone else was wonderful.

5/5 – Comfortable Stay with Excellent Service I stayed at the Locomotive Inn in Laurel, MT on August 16, 2025, and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We booked a standard room with two queen beds, and it was perfect for our needs. The front desk staff was exceptional, especially considering we checked in around 11 pm. They were welcoming and efficient, which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travel. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. The beds were soft yet incredibly supportive, and the pillows were just right — I honestly had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a while. When I first walked in, I did notice a slightly old smell, but it wasn’t strong or bothersome and quickly faded into the background. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel to others looking for a restful night in the Laurel area. Five stars!

Everything here is wonderful. Good breakfast choices. Clean and comfortable rooms. Nice staff. Cute hotel. We stay every time we can, when passing through the area. It saves us from going into Billings. Easy access on and off of the interstate.

It is right off the main road, an older property, but the staff was great and the room was clean and comfortable.

This is a nice hotel that is very clean. Bring ear plugs because the train is near by and starts at 230 in the morning. We had a great stay and would stay again.

Everything was fabulous with one exception. The breakfast is very bad. Plan to eat at one of the many local places if you’re hungry.

It seems that this hotel is in the middle of an update (there were older furniture pieces in the hall at one point, but our room did not have such pieces and was nice and new). Even though they downplay their breakfast, it was quite good with already-cooked egg and cheese omelets (just warm them up in the micro-wave) and a waffle (made in one of those waffle machines) if you wanted one. The breakfast was better than some places I've been that advertise a hot cooked breakfast. The bed was one of the most comfortable that we have encountered in hotels, and the pillows were large, soft and fluffy. It is a nice place with a train theme throughout.

The staff was friendly and the room clean. The complimentary breakfast was better than expected: Egg Omelettes, sausages, biscuits and gravy (all needed to be heated up in MW) plus great belgian waffle maker, juice and coffee. Note: there is not a pool - that was removed and the space turned into a conference room - BUT their online information still lists the pool. The motel is near the railroad tracks so train noise is present ocassionally. Very convenient location just a few blocks off the freeway.

Our room was newly renovated and clean. The breakfast was good with hot options. There is a train that is audible overnight, so light sleepers may want to wear earplugs. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay here again!
