While this “inn” is very clean and located in a safe area. They fail to tell you they don't have ANY WiFi. And that it’s been nonfunctional since last April. I’ve met other couples that have complained about the same situation. People who clearly have work to do and schoolwork.

Amazing stay in the family lodging of the inn on Malmstrom, they are very accommodating, they have housekeeping even to these little separate units with kitchen and living area. Pet friendly. Dog exercise area in middle of units. There's also a dog park on Malmstrom. Great price. Walking distance to club Grizzly Bend. Entire stay on base with BX and commissary was great. There is a DFAC though we didn't get to use it. Grizzly Bend did a family friendly Octoberfest, and I'm sure they do other events. It's a beautiful base, and town. The Missouri River and it's charms are all nearby too.
Rooms: The place we stayed in was basically a one bedroom house with a pull out sofa in the living room. Inside there was a dog crate you could use for your pet if you had to go while housekeeping comes, it had a blanket and stuff. There's a full kitchen, and pots and pans and dishes and silverware, full size fridge. TV in main room and bedroom. Temp control really effective. Blackout curtains. Nice place.
Nearby activities: Great Falls is a small town with all the Major amenities, so your 15 minutes from whatever you want, but as stated above, the inn is next to the Grizzly Bend "O club" (all club) and Nate there makes an amazing margarita, and the staff is so friendly and go above and beyond, food was great. The commissary is close, and the BX stays open later and has a gas station, great prices, and the people that work there are really nice, there were 60 mph winds out of the blue and they helped us to our car, even though we didn't know if we'd need it, plus they can help find anything in the store. In town you have all the major things, chain stores, restaurants, and there's the state park for Giant Springs and you can go to do many points of interest there, but it's all super close together. Nothing will take you too far out of your way. In the inn there's brochures on all the cool places you might visit. And there's kids playgrounds all around base.
Safety: It's a military base, it's very safe
Walkability: The in is next to the Grizzly Bend club. For those who can walk, it wouldn't be hard to get to the commissary or BX. Walking a dog gets you to their dog park, and lots of places.
Food and drinks: So many options, Grizzly Bend, commissary and BX, or off base anything you like. There's a dining facility we didn't get to use, but anybody authorized on base is welcome to do so.
Noteworthy details: Anyone who is authorized on base can now use the commissary

Nice size rooms a little bit dated but clean and the staff is very friendly. My only main complaint was numerous issues with no hot water and the TV not working.

Amenities are a little older but these rooms are super nice. You get a living room and a separate bedroom. Has a very down home feel too everything. Internet can be pretty slow. Still a good place to stay.

I stayed in the TLF rooms while PCS'ing and they were just ok. I've stayed in TLF in a few other bases (Vandenberg and Minot to name a couple) that were a good deal nicer, and bigger, than Malmstrom's. It isn't to say Malmstrom's TLF rooms are awful or not comfortable, just by comparison they are lacking in regards to a TLF room. It isn't one or two major things, it seemingly was a lot of small issues.The wifi was pretty poor. It may have been where my room was located, but again, experiences with other TLF lodging was overall much better.The hot water runs out after a couple minutes (certainly less than 5 min) and your left with barely room temp water. Good luck if you want to fill up a nice hot bath.The TV's are small, even for a hotel/TLF, and the ones in the bedrooms do not even work properly.The staff is really exceptional and helpful though. Anything you need, or questions you have, they can assist you with.

No breakfast, no gym facilities, none of the amenities you come to expect from a hotel in the 21st century. Getting staff to replace your toiletries... good luck! Some of that is due to covid-19 and I understand. But here's the kicker... No hot water either! Taking ice cold showers got extremely old after the first few days but I had to endure them for an entire week. I've had more comfortable stays and better showers out in the field, no joke. Of course "base maintenance" was in charge of fixing it so you know how that goes. Oh and the FSS pretends they care, however all the numbers they list out in the lobby are out of service or no longer work. I'll 100% be staying off base every time I visit now.
