Clean- kind staff not ritzy- think Schitts Creek

The roping steer heads, playground and atmosphere was fun—Cute little motel. Staff were SUPER nice! It is not a fancy and all rooms are not uodated. Our room was but my sisters was not. Very basic. No Kleenex nor cupboards nor closet but you can do laundry. No elevator so ask for first floor if accessibility is needed. The location is beautiful and they did a free 4th of July bbq for the guests and they put benches out back to watch the fireworks. I would stay again for that price if I had the updated room.

This was, by far, our favorite stay on our 12 day vacation! The anesthetic of the entire motel is amazing. The room was clean but a little outdated (which didn't bother us at). We LOVED the outdoor pool and the fun "cowboy" feel of the motel. It just feels right for Cody Wyoming!

First of all, the room did not have a dresser. The shower had a window which was covered by a plastic curtain that would stick to you while showering. The office didn’t open until 7:30 in the morning and there was no coffee in the room. There was no parking other than directly in front of your door so sitting outside lacked a view. This motel cost over $150 a night which is what we paid for an Embassy Suite in another town. I would rate this a 2 out of 5
Bath towels were very rough
