The Finlen is a gorgeous site to take in! In the lobby that is. The rooms are just fine, modern furnishings in a historic room.
Tip to you all, if you stay on the west side of the building it is LOUD! The bar, cars, motorcycles, and trucks.
Cathy at the front was SO kind and let me swap sides!
Great customer service!

Lovely building, clean room and sweet front desk clerk. I do wish the building had more furniture from it's heyday or a little coffee shop. There's an old sign from it's early days inside indicating there once was one. It does feel a bit forgotten but so does the town and there's something sort of lovely about how old and untouched it all is. It just needs a tiny bit of tender loving care to return it to it's glory. Truly though, grateful to have been able to stay in such an old and beautiful building and will return if I'm ever close to Butte again.

The Finlen Hotel opened in 1924 and it stands at a downtown intersection where architecture buffs can drool at this and other magnificent buildings that are legacies of the early 20th century copper boom.
Butte's historic district wouldn't seem out of place if it were picked up then plucked down in some old northeastern cities. It seems caught in time. As I passed through on a Sunday morning, the streets were almost entirely devoid of people. (I think I saw four in the span of 90 minutes.)

This is not a hotel for everyone, but I loved the place. It's old, it's historic, the staff was great, the rooms were large (we were given a suite with two bathrooms for the price of a double room), and the historic district in which it sits is fascinating and deserves a good look around. Don't miss the historic photos of celebs who stayed or dined there in the past, including JFK while he was still a senator. We were able to walk to both dinner and breakfast and there is plenty of free parking on the site. Oh, and the windows open! (They also have AC if that's your pref

I have stayed here numerous times due to co-workers desire to stay in uptown Butte. This place is the pits. No coffee, fridge nor microwave in the room. No breakfast in the morning either. Whatever money is saved over a chain hotel is quickly lost due to having to buy breakfast, coffee etc. Another disappointment is the horrible internet service, it is just about nonexistent except around 4am. Joy.
When I travel by myself I stay at the Best Western, the room is always much nicer and the BW has all the amenities that every other hotel I stay at manage to provide, I mean it's the standard

I'm putting 5 for service.
Called around because motel 6 screwed us over. The women who picked up the phone here was eager to help to offer other places and then realized she could help us. We drive at night so we needed a hotel from 8am-4pm. We got a 1 bedroom for $74.00. She even put us in a corner so we could have some sleep from the maids cleaning other rooms.
Bed is comfy (even flipped it for a bed bug check)
70's looking which my boyfriend loved.
Shower head pressure was better than some nice hotels but not amazing.
Had 3 towels
Bar of soap, shampoo
Flat screen tv

What a incredible pleasure it was to stay at this beautiful and historic establishment. Very clean room with spectacular views. The most surprising thing was that for such an old building it had all the modern day amenities. Lots of plug insurance for all our electronic devices. Really a great hotel in such a great area.

Stayed here for the first time this week. What a delightful boutique hotel in uptown Butte. Stay in the tower. Rooms are very nice. Similar to boutique hotels in Seattle or Portland. Still working on Lobby, but if they can make that a more inviting atmosphere in which to gather for reading or relaxing, they'll get my 5th star. It was fun to be uptown an walk to restaurants.

So this place is quaint. It's located uptown which makes it convenient for me for business trips to visit an uptown partner without a car rental. The lobby was once magnificent and still is lovely. The rooms are basic. If Butte is experiencing a hot snap, the window AC won't keep up. The price is probably on par for what you get, about $80/night for a double room. Feels like a step back in time.

We had a beautiful wedding in the Treasure State Room. If you are an Art Deco fanatic like myself, this is the place to go! The architecture is absolutely stunning. You can just imagine Butte in it hayday.
The staff was very accommodating.
The rooms are clean and newly redone. However, they are not sound proof. We could hear everything going on up snd down the hall while we tried to sleep.

In mid-September I stayed a night in the main hotel with none of the problems mentioned by others. It was a clean and quiet room with all the modern amenities (flat screen & wifi). The staff was friendly and the hotel, historic and beautiful. Parking in the lot is limited but street parking met my needs.
Very convenient to the Uptown businesses. Butte is trending the right direction.
I believe that unless all we want is Ramada, we should support those with the courage to keep the old hotels alive.

I'm scratching my head on this one. We went here because of all the great reviews and we love historic locations. But, as much as I try, I can't love this place.
I do credit the ability to keep this place in decent condition. I suspect it is a fairly costly maintenance. I also acknowledge seriously competitive rates offering a 'suite' for about $100.
However, the suite we had was just two single hotel rooms joined together with a door between. Very funky layout with a bed in both rooms, but nothing to sit on other that two chairs from a mini dining table.

Man, I love this place. I went here last year when Stefanie S. and I were driving cross-country to Seattle and we arrived in Butte late in the evening and completely beat. We went to the Finlen since it was highly recommended by our AAA guide. It was not actually all that hard to find it despite our fatigue and the fact that it was located in the middle of unfamiliar downtown Butte since it had a giant, lit-up, retro-historic HOTEL sign above it. =)
We stayed at the motel attached to the shiny hotel since we were poor and the Butte Irish Music Festival was in town and took up every single room

This place was built in 1924 and financed by James Finlen, a very wealthy copper mining magnate. Copper is used on the roof, to adorn one of the bars, and on the windows outside. The grand ballroom has huge ceilings, crystal chandeliers and almost floor to ceiling windows. This hotel was obviously glamorous in its heyday, and has had guests from Charles Lindberg, Theodore Roosevelt, Nixon and Kennedy. It is still fairly well preserved, and is a fascinating place to stay.
