Is Evergreen Motel and Sandman Motel Still Open? Hotel Impossible Update

Hotel Impossible featured the Evergreen Motel and the neighboring Sandman Motel in Libby, Montana, on season 7, episode 4, 'Rocky Relationships,' which aired 2016-05-09. The episode followed the show's usual format of a hospitality consultant addressing management and property-condition issues at independently run lodging. This record covers the Evergreen Motel, at 808 Mineral Ave, since that is the property our records was able to locate and geocode; the Sandman Motel's current status was not independently checked. A 2026-09-09 review of the Evergreen Motel's own website, evergreenmotelmontana.com, found a 2026 copyright notice and content describing the property as a base for visiting Libby and the surrounding area, with an online booking option.

Google Places also lists the Evergreen Motel as operational. No news coverage, ownership change, or closure notice was found for the Evergreen Motel. The Evergreen Motel's site also describes rooms with mountain views and lists a local phone contact for reservations, according to its own current content. The Sandman Motel, also featured in the same 2016 episode, was not separately researched here, and no current website, listing, or news reference for it was reviewed. Libby, Montana, is a small city near Kootenai National Forest, and Hotel Impossible's visit to the two motels was part of a broader look at independent lodging serving travelers to the area.
