The staff was very welcoming when we first got there and were a wealth of information to help us decide what to do. The lobby was cute and inviting. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the facility is that it is quite loud when people are hanging out in the lobby (although our room was quite close to the lobby) and the shower head was not good. Other than that it was amazing. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Mountain Vista Hotel is an excellent choice for visitors to Yellowstone. Located just 7 miles from the West Entrance, it offers convenient access to the park while maintaining a peaceful setting. The property is exceptionally clean and well maintained, with comfortable rooms and attentive service. Highly recommended for families and anyone seeking a reliable stay near Yellowstone.

Demasiado caro para lo que es

Demasiado caro para lo que es. No limpian la habitación no hacen las camas cuando estás más de una noche. No cambian las toallas excepto que las pidas en recepción. Es muy caro como para permitirse ese lujo. Además, el desayuno es muy deficiente, apenas hay nada para elegir y muy pocas mesas.

Beautiful setting, wonderful staff and very clean hotel. Rooms next to you are not very sound proof. Hotel does have a quiet time policy and so noise was never an issue for us. Would highly recommend this hotel!

Everything is great. Only issue was there is almost nothing around the property (One general store and one pizza restaurant for campers). It took 10-15 minutes to go to town for dinning.
