$$

This column indicates the typical price range of this hotel. We use the following codes: E=Economy (under $50), M=Midrange ($50 to $100), U=Upscale ($100 to $150), L=Luxury (over $150). Please note that room rates fluctuate (seasonal popularity, special events in the area, etc.).

Miles

The approximate distance in miles from the exit to the hotel. These are calculations using GPS data. Distances along city streets will be somewhat different but this should give you a good idea of the distances to Discount Hotels near the cited Interstate exit.

Fit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Butte offering  'fitness' or exercise facilities are indicated with an F in this column. If the hotel also has a spa, it is so indicated by an S in this column. Most hotels define a 'spa' as a large hot tub with built in water jets. In a few cases, fitness facilities and spas may be off-premises (entry by pass issued by the hotel) in which case dressing rooms are also present for your convenience.

Kit

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Butte offering a full kitchen or 'kitchenette' are indicated with an 'K' in this column. An 'M' in this column indicates microwave available. If the room also has a refrigerator, it is so indicated by an 'R' in this column. Many hotels have some rooms furnished with microwaves and small refrigerators but you have to request them. We list them only if there is not an additional charge (or so they have informed us).

I'net

Discount Hotels near I-90 in Butte offering Internet access are indicated (with an M for dial-up and W for wideband) in the I'net column. Please note that 'wideband' facilities vary. In addition to a network port (usually installed in the docking station), we suggest you bring along cables and your Windows distribution CD (in case you are required to load a special network driver). For 'dial up dataports', you would only need a modem and an RJ-11 patch cord (which you should always have with you, anyway).

Butte

Butte is mining - past and present. Of course, there are other industries, too. For example, Butte is considered one of the country's busiest inland ports. Many of the goods originating in Asia and destined for the mid-west are shipped through Butte. But the story in Butte is, still, mining.

Arts Chateau - A replica of a French chateau built by copper baron and Senator w. A. Clark as a wedding present for his son, his 'gift' is now an art museum. Open 10a-5p, Tuesday through Saturday (noon-5p Sundays) during the summer months.
  From I-15/90 take exit 126 and drive north on Montana Avenue. Broadway is the next street following Park Street. Turn left and it is a little more than a block west on Broadway on your right at 321 W. Broadway. For more information, phone 1-406-723-7600 or visit their website at ArtsChateau.

Copper King Mansion - While we're on the subject of Senator Clark, he also had a mansion - a 32 room monster (at least for out West at the time). Now a national historic landmark, you can visit it 9a-4p daily during the summer months.
  From his son's Chateau, turn around and go back to Montana Street. Turn left, go 1 block and it is around the corner to your left at 219 West Granite Street.
