Good location, clean, new. Small but comfy rooms. Loved the decor. Common area was really nice! Dog friendly too, which is super nice. Parking was an additional $20 fee, which was annoying. Other than that, enjoyed my stay and would recommend!

Extremely pleasant staff. Bikes available on site were great for cruising downtown and back to the hotel. Spacious rooms. Cozy fireplace. Grocery store nearby. No elevators, so one must be able to use stairs and carry luggage. Will recommend the Wandering Buffalo to friends!

Super cute hotel! Just a short walk to downtown Bozeman. Reasonably priced rooms. Super sweet interior design, and pet friendly! Just wish they had finished the renovation the gym and hottub - but it was ok because they were able to give us day-passes to a local gym which was awesome! Would stay here again for sure!
