The Pollard Hotel
Reviews
"Cozy" is the nice way to describe some of the room sizes, but overall a reasonably priced option with the inclusion of the dining options downstairs. The complementary breakfast in the onsite Vintage Bistro is almost worth it by itself.
Old. Rustic. Good food. Slow service even when not busy.
This is the fourth time that my wife and I have stayed at the Pollard. As fly-fisherman, the hotel has become a regular part of our annual pilgrimage to the fabled streams and rivers just to the west of Red Lodge. The hotel is remarkable in so many ways. Not only is it well appointed and affordable, even the most affordable rooms are superior and comparably priced to discount chains. The staff is remarkably friendly and the hotel sports a sauna, racquetball courts, gym and many other amenities. The dining room is superb and a complimentary breakfast accompanies every night's stay. The food is top notch and the coffee is to die for in the morning. Of the very many places I have stayed in this country, from the most frugal to the most lavish, the Pollard is easily one of the top ten. When the reasonable pricing structure is included, it has to rank #1. As an aside, the Wine Bar Kitchen two blocks west of the Pollard provides gourmet food for even the most demanding palate. The Pollard is a MUST for anybody passing through Red Lodge.
Clean with excellent service in the resturant. Room a little small. Nice hotel -
