The best word I can come up with for this place is functional. The bed was uncomfortable. Toilet ring was broken. Hot water was sporadic in the morning. And huge groups were incessantly loud in the evening slamming doors every five minutes. These were not teenagers either.

Front desk seemed overwhelmed with simple requests. Hair conditioner was "on backorder." So, none in our room. Shower didn't have hot water. Some warm water, but not hot. Actually, mostly cold. We stayed here because the location was excellent and the price was low, but would pay more for a more comfortable stay. We don't plan on staying here again.

We were traveling at the end of the season so the breakfast area was closed. Not a big deal as the pricing is reduced for off season. The room was really nice, beds were incredibly comfy and the shower was great. Lobby area is really cool. Would stay again.

This was a perfect place to stay for our trip. It was nice to have a warm breakfast before heading into Yellowstone. Staff was friendly and made up our room every day, which is something we haven’t experienced since Covid. Thank you for helping to make our trip a great experience.

Good for price

Price was good. Beds were a bit hard. Breakfast was only for 2 people and others had to pay $13 each. But it was a good hot breakfast.

We stayed here one night while exploring in Yellowstone. Don’t expect a super fancy hotel but it was what we expected when booking. We needed a clean hotel, close to the park to lay our heads…..which this is! Our only complaints would be that breakfast didn’t start until 7 and the beds were pretty hard. We honestly didn’t expect perfection and were thrilled to be so close to the park. We would stay here again for the convenience of being right outside of Yellowstone.
