Missoula KettleHouse Amphitheater - lodging questions

We are attending the Tedeshi Trucks concert in early August. What is a good place to stay? Checked on The Wren, while I know it is good need hassle free parking for my truck camper. Thanks!

How long are you staying? Is it a weekend? Usually plenty of street parking and it's safe and not policed or metered after 5 or on weekends and holidays.
Parking garages tend to be pretty tight around here, clearance wise. Like 7 feet or so.
Double Tree has an open air parking lot, but they're going through all kinds of tear-down-and-rebuild renovations, so they might not have a room available. It's where people with large vehicles often stay. Actually since it's one of the only places a touring bus will fit overnight, you might be able to hangout with the band later.
You're other option would be an Airbnb with it's own parking or just outside the metered area.
Sorry I don't have anything better for you.

Just next to it now. Wren's parking clearance is 8 feet. Good luck.

Me and the wife have stayed at the wren a bunch of times for Concerts even though we only live an hour away. They do have limited off street parking next to the building not in a parking garage. I'd ask when you reserve a room. It's stupid easy to walk down to the top hat and catch the shuttle. Some of our friends prefer holiday Inn but I believe most of their parking is in the parking garage. I've also parked on street even on weekdays and just planned to head out early before enforcement starts. Kettlehouse is a fucking great venue.

Another thing you can do in a pinch is just park on the street outside the meter zone. It's not far to the east and/or north. I wanna say it's once you are east of Madison and north of Broadway? Or park with all the other campers and homeless at the Boone and Crocket Club and walk over the bridge. Ha.

Thanks guys! It is just one night. The on street parking sounds like it will work and I will check out B&C Club and the Double Tree. We stayed at the same hotel as the TTB last summer in Reno. Saw one of the band members out smoking a bowl in the parking lot, but did not have the balls to go introduce myself and join in!!!

Do not pass up a chance to have a Kettle House Brewing Company Cold Smoke Scotch Ale. A very fine and tasty brew.

If it's a hot day, a Fish On might be better. Or that one that comes in the yellow can. I wanna say it's a honey heff. The name escapes me right now for some reason. Or there's always ye olde Cold Smoke. I don't buy Kettlehouse beer at the store much because it's weirdly expensive and some brews taste skunky (Bong water, etc). Bayern Octoberfest is also coming out now. Om nom nom. Although, I have to say, I find Sam Adams Octoberfest better. It's less sweet. But it got expensive for some reason.
If you can get Cold Smoke on nitro it's like a root beer float that gets you a buzz on.
