Large comfortable, quiet and clean room. Beautiful views of the surrounding hillsides from our 2nd floor room. I was surprised to get fresh towels everyday! The included Friday night carriage ride was a treat! Saturday night live music was wonderful. Within walking distance to Old Trail Town. Only a couple of miles from Downtown Cody and museums. Awesome breakfast across the street at the Our Place Cafe. Can't wait to get back to Cody!

Nice option near rodeo

Nice option to stay close to rodeo grounds and many other local attractions. Quiet and comfortable room. Small standard refrigerator and microwave, small TV, super comfy thin pillows, which I prefer. Very friendly staff at desk for check-in. Pet friendly room was a bit higher price but was worth it to us. I'd stay here again.

Great place!

Only real complaints were the pillows were flat and not very comfy... but we are also very spoiled with our pillows at home... but the pillows were flat and you needed all 6 pillows, 3 per person, in order to make a decent one... hahaha...the only other thing was there was a piece of trim in the bathroom around the tub that was loose and probably from water getting under it...gentleman at the office was super awesome and even our neighbors were great...check in was easy and so was checking out... great overall stay, and next time we are in town Big Bear Motel will be top of our list of places to stay...

Disappointed

The score on Hotels.com led me to think this would be upper-tier. It was not. On the upside -- the room and bathroom were large, the beds comfortable, and the pillows soft. On the downside --the carpet in the room looked to be about 30 years old. The nice young lady who checked me into the hotel looked like she might be a female escort -- pretty but if I was her dad, I would have told her to come back to work properly dressed. Would not stay there again.

Perfect place to stay

Loved this hotel. The young lady who checked us in couldn't have been sweeter. She switched us to a private cabin because I injured my foot and couldn't carry all of my luggage upstairs. There were beautiful horses directly behind our cabin and it was very peaceful and quiet. Comfy room and it had a little porch with wooden chairs out front. Bubba's BBQ was a mile down the road and it was delicious and not expensive. Highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed there for six nights starting September 6, 2025. We based out of this motel for motorcycle rides in Yellowstone and the Big Horns. We liked that we could park our enclosed trailer next to a grassy area. There were two picnic tables in this area. This gave us a great place to grill our supper and to relax after a day of riding. We enjoyed that they had two ice machines and you could fill your coolers for free. The gentleman (Juan) that cleaned our room daily did an amazing job.
