Sleepy Inn Motel

The city of Missoula needs to figure out how to reopen the Sleepy Inn Motel.

Senator Steve Daines announced Montana's share of the $480 billion in COVID 19 recovery monies after the Senate vote on Tuesday.

Following Monday night’s 9-3 city council vote to approve the sale of the Sleepy Inn Motel to the city of Missoula, COVID 19 Incident Commander Cindy Farr addressed the issue of a published negative health department inspection of the motel.

After a debate that went deep into the night on Monday, the Missoula City Council approved the city’s purchase of the Sleepy Inn Motel, for the purpose of turning the building into what is called a ‘con-congregate’ facility to ‘quarantine and isolate’ COVID 19 patients.

It was revealed recently that the City of Missoula has put down $25,000 in earnest money to purchase the Sleepy Inn Motel, located on East Broadway near the Russell Street Bridge for a total purchase price of over $1 million.
