Great breakfast and staff in the kitchen! The window didn’t lock, the ramp to the hotel needs marking so people don’t fall when unloading.

Wonderful Stay!

I have missed this little gem as it is off the main drags in West. I will stay again! For this time of year it was very affordable, great staff, clean and comfy! Plenty of parking, a park across the road

Staff was very nice. Our room was very musty smelling, carpet had tears in it, the ac didnt work unless we turned it off and on periodically and there was zero hot water in the shower. Beds & sheets were clean.

My stay 2025

Very convenient to the west entrance of Yellowstone NP. Carpet in room was dirty and old. The breakfast buffet had a great selection to choose from. Beds were uncomfortable which hurt my lower back.

Yong Li, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The free breakfast was very good. Liked how they had the buffet so you could choose. Also like that employees dished it up. It tasted good and had good choices. About the only thing we didn’t like was the bed was not comfortable. Left us a bit achy. The mattress seemed like it should be replaced.
Amy, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Overpriced.

We were put on second floor and there was no elevator. After we were settled in our room, someone started banging on our door. I was reluctant to answer, but the pounding continued. When a non-English speaking couple showed me their keycard it was the same room number as ours. They left and suppose were given another room. The motel is overpriced for its condition. I will say they had a very good breakfast.

June stay

Our stay was ok. The hotel position was good, easy access to Yellowstone National Park & walking distance into the centre of town. Our room was a bit tired, but comfy. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast with very friendly and helpful kitchen/serving staff.

Annie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Conveniently located just 10 mins from the west Yellowstone gate. Restaurants available near the property. The complimentary breakfast is one of the best in this property. Staffs are friendly , polite and nice. Ample space for parking your vehicle.
Tirtha, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

As an older hotel it was clean and convenient to our objective. We did like the offered a full breakfast buffet to guests. The staff was polite. The only down side is it is not very handicap convenient as there are no elevators and if you stay on the second floor you have to take stairs which is harder on someone with bad knees and a bad back. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.
