Good (cheap) place to stay in Bozeman

Recommendations on a good place to crash if coming to climb in Hyalite?

My two favorite affordable places are the the Ramada Inn (19th & I-90) about $70/ night and the one I'm typing this from right now The Western Heritage in (Main Street) about $60/night. They both are around climber & Pet friendly they have hot tubs and free waffle breakfast. The Western (locally Owned) also has a sauna and eggs & Sausage on their breakfast bar starting at 6:00am!

Thanks Jay. The Western sounds like the place. You climbing right now?
Had been planning on heading to Bozeman tonight. Looks like the avy danger is pretty high.
We'd planned on doing easy stuff near G1, like Lower Greensleeves, etc. Any thoughts on the danger around there?

G1 and the Unnamed Wall are two of your safer areas. Hangover was climbing really well the other day and doesn't have snow above it. There's Palisade and Dribbles too.

The Western Heritage Inn was pretty decent and not far from the canyon road, honestly (like 5 miles or something from the canyon entrance). The rooms are fairly decent. Breakfast waffles. About a mile from the downtown center.

All the nice hotels (read more expensive) are out by the airport and put you quite a bit away from town. Don't know if you care about that.

Close and cheap is fine. Driving in, so not worried about being by the airport.
Just want to get on some safe ice.
Thanks.

I'm going to be gone for this holiday week, but in the future I'd offer my place to couch surf for anyone coming to ice climb. There's no continental breakfast, though I do have a waffle maker.

Your best bet on avy danger would be the G1 wall (including G1, willow, tree clump and lower green sleeves and a hand full of M4-6 as well). Above that would be hangover and upper green sleeves, but I would recommend a avy beacon, shovel and probe just in case the bowl below those slid. The amphitheater(Fat chance,thin chance and switch back falls) is plenty safe, above of low angle and heavly treed. The un-named wall is not too bad, but the top of the Fat one slid a couple of days ago and nearly took out a climbing party, I would venture a guess that Jeff's left and right should be avy safe. The rest of Hyalight has a 14 inch + thick wind slab on top of a 4-6 inch thick depth hore/loose facets. Just driving up hyalight yesterday I must of saw 7-8 natural and some human triggered slides just on the side of the road cut. Its a bit harry right now so I would plan on sticking to some of the lower climbs.
