田野與溪流旅館在博茲曼

I booked Field & Stream Hotel for the last night of our honeymoon, looking forward to the advertised 4-star experience after a week in a camper van. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. The hotel’s Instagram claims it’s “just steps from 3 legendary rivers” and a “short drive to Yellowstone.” In reality, it’s right off the highway, across from Walmart, with no rivers in sight. Yellowstone is a full two hours away—hardly a “short drive.” To me, this felt like false advertising. While the hotel is newly opened, it’s still under construction. The website shows a pool and a beautiful courtyard, but the pool isn’t finished (which they do note online—still, the pictures should come down until it’s ready). Part of the courtyard was also a construction zone. One side looked nice with large vintage Field & Stream murals and queen-sized lounge chairs, but the other three walls looked like my old high school courtyard. My suggestion: carry those murals around the entire space. The courtyard did look more inviting at night with lanterns and corner fireplaces. For a place marketed as a “starting point for adventure,” I was surprised to find the lobby coffee unavailable until 7:00 a.m.—especially when we came down at 6:30 a.m. ready to head out. We ended up grabbing coffee at the Best Western next door, which, by the way, does have an airport shuttle (Field & Stream does not). The “4-star” room was small, with a queen bed. While the rustic décor and paint job helped, it still felt like a dressed-up Days Inn. The metal doors were simply painted over, the room was dark even with lights and windows open, and the bathroom was tiny. Another downside: the 4:00 p.m. check-in. If you have dinner plans downtown, it doesn’t leave much time to settle in. They do offer early check-in, but when we arrived, several housekeepers had called out, so our room wasn’t ready. The good: The hotel was generally clean (though there was dust on top of the headboard), the bed and pillows were comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The bartender was great, and we enjoyed the salmon dip at the bar. The gym was a pleasant surprise—equipped with a cable machine, dumbbells, a rower, a treadmill, and an elliptical. The staff was kind enough to let us use it while we were waiting for our room. Overall, the hotel has potential, but right now, it’s not a true 4-star experience. A few key improvements—accurate marketing, finishing construction, and elevating the guest experience—would make a big difference. For now, if I return to the area, I’d probably choose the Best Western next door.

Neat hotel with a unique theme. Great courtyard/outdoor spaces. Nice pool and fitness area. (all were closed when we were there for maintenance but we would enjoy these when we return). Be aware no breakfast is included but there is a nice restaurant/bar (somewhat pricey?!) on the property. There is gaming and other recreational areas in the hotel as well. Walkable outside to other restaurants and in a nice area that includes residential/apartments and other hotels.

Our experience at Field and Stream in Bozeman, MT was very positive. We found the rooms to be remarkably clean, and the Dry Fly Saloon's food was excellent. Even with two toddlers in our group of nine, the dining experience was thoroughly enjoyed by all. The hotel also offers easy access to BZN airport, just a 13-minute drive away.
