My friend and I loved this hotel! We were both amazed by how nice and clean our room was. We arrived about 2 hours before check-in time which wasn’t a problem because they had a room ready for us.

Wonderful place to stay!
We loved staying at the Sapphire! Bummed to have stayed only 1 night. The decor was absolutely awesome and nothing was left behind. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. It’s also a great location where you can walk to downtown Bozeman. Highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Bozeman!
