Really good buffet breakfast and nice dining area. Only drawback was the old tired mattresses on the beds. We stayed in 7 different motels on this particular trip. Some were budget motels and some were high end motels. This was the only place we stayed that had crummy mattresses.

Published Date: Oct, 22, 2024 Travel Date: Oct, 1, 2024 Rating: 5 I stayed here for my trip to Yellowstone in mid October 2024.
Positives: Location was superb. You can be to the park gates in about 2 minutes. You are also walking distance to just about any store or restaurant in West Yellowstone. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The heat worked well as the nights were very chilly. Housekeeping was done each and every day (which is not so common anymore). Shower temp and pressure were good. Plenty of coffee supplies were provided. There was also a nice desk to use and the TV was adequate.
Negatives: I didn’t care for breakfast and it was very crowded so I opted for the Running Bear Pancake House, a short drive away.
100% I would stay here again and make this my base for exploring Yellowstone.

Called in to reserve room at 250.00
Then checking in price gouged to 335.00
This hotel is in need of renovation
There’s no microwave in rooms
Fan in bathrooms sound like a tractor engine
Poor lighting and the doors were dented
Booked last minute and couldn’t have been happier!

There were a few affordable places left and I’m so happy I picked this one. The lobby was comfy, smelled great and welcoming. The room was basic and very clean. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was very filling! We drove by the other similar hotels the next morning and it was clear this was the nicest option of them—far superior actually. Great affordable option near Yellowstone!

Trip Type: Solo travel
Published Date: Jun, 26, 2024 Travel Date: Jun, 1, 2024 Rating: 3 My trip was intended as a couples trip but changed last minute and due to not being able to cancel, I had to go solo. This is a Motel, not to be confused with a Hotel.
Upon check in , you could tell this was a mom and pop motel. Check in was quick and easy and courteous.
The room is very basic and 1960-70’s refurb. The pictures online definitely portray the room as more modern than what they are.
Granted, the room was very clean.
The toilet is small and close to the floor. The floors squeak when you walk.
The first night after getting dinner with the other couple, I could not get in my room. I had to go to the office to find out that is “normal” as the door locks are due to be changed and the gears often don’t catch. The owner kept pushing up and down and swiping my door card until it opened. I had this to happen again the next day.
Breakfast was impressive as far as selection. The biscuits seemed to be frozen and set out the day before to thaw, causing them to be dry.
Overall, I would not stay here again. If I had not been traveling with a couple staying at the same place, I would have asked for a refund or accepted the loss and found another place to stay. I was not comfortable staying here as a single lady.
Of note, I did have reservations the following 2 nights at Hotel in the same town that I would stay at 100 times over!
