Inn at the Agora

We stayed here for just a night while visiting Bates. The Inn has such great character and I wished we had longer to stay to get to enjoy the cozy common areas with board games, etc. We arrived late and Billie was kind enough to wait for us and give us a quick intro. It felt like we were staying with friends/ family rather than at a hotel, which is what I was hoping for. The room was very comfortable and the Inn was peaceful. The pantry has tea, coffee, a few breakfast items for early risers and then we walked a few minutes to Forage Market for breakfast (amazing wood fired bagels). I would definitely stay here again and recommend!

I loved the Inn at the Agora. The people, and puppy were quite friendly and welcoming. The room was well kept and everything was very clean and comfortable. They made you feel like a welcome guest to the whole house with the common kitchen and sitting rooms. A very unique older home with lots of character but obviously well maintained. It looked like it should be haunted but unfortunately we did not encounter any ghosts. Our home state of Montana was not even granted statehood until 40 years after this home was built and we don’t have many of these older mansions so getting to stay in one was great.

This place is very cool. It is an old church rectory. The manager was fantastic. She accommodated us and our sweet dog by changing our rooms and giving us more space. They had everything you could need to stay a few nights. They offer extra pillows and blankets, bathrobes, slippers, shampoo, soap, conditioner, and a binder with local information on food and fun. They have a couple of common rooms, free food and drinks, games, puzzles, and an outside area for pets and people. They even had a welcome bag of dog treats for our baby. They clearly put in a lot of work and care about this space. I would recommend this space for a college student visiting with their families or a quick stop over traveling through. The only issue is that it seems that there are some unhoused in the area I believe

Great and authentic inn. Rooms are all unique and lovely (sometimes a little quirky!). Location is central to downtown, 2-minute drive to Bates. You have to be mindful of the town you’re in, but stay anywhere else and you are always in your car. Here you are minutes away walking from lots of great restaurants. And if you don’t want to, then hop in your car! Tremendous value, and the owner is great and attentive.
