Flathead Valley help

I need place to stay (hotel, motel, hostel, airbnb,vrbo, share) this weekend. Would like to be close to Kalispell Regional Hospital in Kalispell, Montana 8/24 - 8/27.

I can probably stay with relatives one of those nights if necessary. Bonus points for walking distance to a bar. Will send presents for walking distance to a good bar.

Airbnb looks rather expensive in the area, hotel deals look kind of sparse (checked Hotwire). Depends on your price range? I don't know the area -- there are a couple of Motel 6s in the city. Also, checked Google Maps and apparently this hotel is really close to the hospital you mention: http://www.abvikalispell.com/ Doesn't look close to a bar, but there's some coffee places close by to the east and north.

Recently stayed at The Pine Lodge in Whitefish (quick drive from Kalispell?)

Walking distance to bars along the Whitefish main street. There are probably places closer and/or in Kalispell, but I'd give it a thumbs up for the price and location.

Response by poster: Thanks everyone! I was really worried that all the hotels would be full being an august weekend in the area, but I ended up at the Travel Lodge on N. Main. It's nice because it's a short walk to my favorite Kalispell bar (Moose's) and downtown Kalispell, but other than location, I can't really recommend.
