Everything we needed for a last minute place to stop on our road trip for the night. Bed and pillows were comfortable. The people working at the front desk were accommodating and professional. However we did have a roach crawl across the couch and our neighbors were literally moving out of their hotel room late at night and early in the morning. It was hard to sleep with the doors slamming constantly as they came in and out of the room for several hours.

Very adequate. Be aware if you have an early start planned the morning of check out that the office doesn’t open until 7, and there is no drop box. The morning of our stay, office staff didn’t arrive until 7:10, which delayed our entrance to Yellowstone.

The only thing this hotel has going for it is the location. I don't think I've stayed in a worse hotel, and ironically, this was one of the more expensive hotels we stayed in during our trip. Yes, it is conveniently located right outside of Yellowstone National Park. But that's where it stops. The floor was dirty, the shower was leaking, the beds were barely supported by some DIY plywood bed frames. Our room also didn't have a refrigerator, which was important to us so we could chill food and ice packs while we were at the park all day. Apparently some rooms have refrigerators, some don't, and the front desk didn't know why. When I asked if we could be moved to a room with a fridge, we were told that since we were staying there for several days, it would be difficult to change rooms, so we just had to deal with it. I know hotels in West Yellowstone are expensive, but don't go with this "cheap" option (we still paid $280 per night).

Great location, but rooms are old. If you just need a place to sleep and directly head out to Yellowstone, it’s an OK choice

The room was not clean, the sheets had sand or something in them, the bed was hard and horrible. The shower head was like razor blades on your skin. The curtains were missing hooks and would not close. The frint desk person said nothing they could do to fix the curtains...but not to worry about our privacy because it was a safe town. They refused to give me contact information for the property manager or when the manager was going to be working next. They had an open outlet with exposed wires this place is very rundown and needing a lot of repairs the parking is horrible by our room area you had to back out onto the main street if the parking lot was full because it's only one way parking and there's no room to turn around.

Room was supposed to be 2 queens but instead the room had a double and a queen. When I talked to the staff they were unwilling to do anything about it. Another front desk staffer couldn’t understand English well enough to get another wash cloth for us. We will not be staying here again.
