Great location
It’s a little dated and quirky, but the rooms are generously sized. It’s very convenient to the West Yellowstone entrance and walking distance to restaurants, etc. Check in/Check out were easy. I’d stay here again for the convenience.

We stayed here during our trip to Yellowstone. It was convenient to the park and the price, even though it was high for the facility, was good compared to the other motels in the area. It was an old motel, but well kept. We did OK in staying there.

The staff was very friendly but overwhelmed by the overload of Chinese groups arriving very loudly daily and taking over the whole place. I mentioned that my room had no hot water in the first night and nothing was done about it although it was better the second night. Room was comfortable but pillows were too big for me… the kind that breaks your neck.

We were on the go constantly while staying there. It is close to the Yellowstone Park entrance. No complaints except for the music with deep base that was played every morning while we ate a free breaksfast. Someone needs to rethink that. Otherwise it was nice and fit our needs.

Everything about this facility is substandard. Definitely not worth $257 a night!! It started off bad with NO elevator at all and NO parking lot (you park on the street), once in the room it was very quickly evident that this was a bad choice with things like paint and drywall work not finished, caulking around the tub ,sink, toilet and shower walls looked like a child try to do it, the sheets were very thin, the bed was a springy nightmare from 1999 that was hard as a rock. At least the AC worked good even thought it to was 25 years old. The breakfast was actually good and plentiful. I would not recommend this facility unless just want a bed for the night

The rooms are very old, the hair dryer doesn’t work on both rooms we stayed and the water in the shower was cold for the times that the other guests use the water. The beds are very old and uncomfortable. The personnel was very rude when I reported the hair dryer and cold water in the shower. The only thing that was good was the breakfast.
