Kalispell is definitely the best place to find an assortment of more budget-friendly chain
hotels and motels, but prices can rise when the town is packed with travelers en route to or
from Glacier or Flathead. Next to the airport, the
Aero Inn
(1830 U.S. 93 S., 800/843-6114,
www.aeroinn.com
,

priced. Another good value can be found at the 106-room pet-friendly
Blue & White Motel

$43-90), which, in
addition to cool neon signage, has decent rooms, standard amenities, and a 24-hour restaur-
ant next door (making it a favorite with truckers). Among the larger chain hotels and mo-
