I would not recommend this place to anyone!

I'm afraid the Trail Inn is on its way out. Check in was at 4:00. We had reservations in June for stay in August. The room hadn't been cleaned yet. When we came back 1 1/2 hours later, pillows not on bed, etc. Cracks in the windows. No curtains on bathroom windows. skimpy curtain on one bedroom window. We used towels to cover. Fan in one bedroom broken shield, dangerous to use. Unkept grounds. restaurant closed for season already and no one in office most of time. Sad, sad place.

The outside of the cabin looked a little rough, but the inside was clean, neat, and a great fit for our family. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by scenic mountains that made the location feel peaceful and remote. Our main issue was the lack of connectivity. There was no cell service, and although WiFi was advertised, it didn’t reach our cabin. If we needed to make a call, send a text, or look something up online, we had to walk down to the restaurant. For a property this remote, reliable WiFi access in all guest areas is essential.

Check in was a breeze. Was greeted with a friendly, smiling face! Our cabin was perfect. Clean, spacious and cute! The stars from the front porch at night are breathtaking! Amazing river close by we took our 2 teenagers to check out and they loved. Beds and pillows were comfy. I will 100% recommend to everyone I know!

This motel trades in its history, but has been let go to an extent that it needs considerable investment to bring it up or an acceptable standard. It is not in a great location and has little going for it. I would never stay here again.

Historic cabins with older furnishings

The furniture really needs to be updated. The beds are firm. The shower was difficult to manage. There will be no phone signal, but the management will send you a message to warn you. Please note that the WiFi does not reach all of the cabins from the central lodge. You will also be paying your entire balance at the hotel, not through Expedia/Hotels regardless of what the website says. The restaurant there is very good, but plan to make a reservation as it is small and lots of people come to eat. The scenery around the cabins is beautiful. It’s about a half hour to the east gate of Yellowstone, but plan extra time to reach anything in the park.
