Broken bathroom door, squeaky shower, charged ice

Arrived to find a broken bathroom door that wouldn't close, the shower made a horrible squealing squeaky sound, they charged $2 for ice and $14/person (children included) for continental breakfast. Room was dirty and out-dated, mattresses uncomfortable and will never stay here again.

June stay

Our stay was ok. The hotel position was good, easy access to Yellowstone National Park & walking distance into the centre of town. Our room was a bit tired, but comfy. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast with very friendly and helpful kitchen/serving staff.

Insanely clean. Breakfast free for two people. But need fan inside bathrooms and if you are on ground floor then upper floor walking cracking sounds bothers sometimes. If you are a sensitive sleeper then ask for upper floor. Else everything is very good. We will recommend this hotel without a doubt.
