This property got an overall Expedia customer rating of 6.2. At first I thought the rating was a little harsh. It is a very old hotel. The room was average with a comfortable bed. The TV was very small, maybe 20”. The bath tub had several patches in the bottom, no big deal. When we got there we were greeted by the manager who told us he ran many of the hotels that the company owned. Everything was ok until we checked out. We decided to eat breakfast in their restaurant. Both my wife and I ordered omelets. It took 40 minutes to get our food. One other couple got their food and said they did not want it and left.The menu said omelets came with hash browns and toast. We did not get our hash browns. It was obvious the cook and server did not know their own menu, when the server argued with another group of patrons that ordered omelets. The server told them they did not order hash browns. I got a menu from the counter and showed it the server. I can overlook all of this so far. But when I asked about a restroom in the lobby, I was told it was down a set of stairs in the basement. The walls were all missing paint. The two urinals were out of service and wrapped in plastic bags. There was a basket in each stall. All three were over filled with used toilet paper, rolls, and paper wrapping. When I say they were over flowing I mean there was large piles next to the toilets. It was obvious that they were not emptied in quite a long time. The bathroom was disgusting.

I have traveled and stayed all over the country. I completely understood the price of this room due to convenience but I did expect a little more from it. Radiator covers were broken and laying on the floor, the title shower was caulked all over, the walls were dirty, the windows cranks were broken. Beds were so, so. We got into the area late after being in the park and on the road all day. Just a little after 8pm. The lobby was super dim. There wasn't anyone there. We kept saying "hello", until I noticed a phone on the wall with a sign that gave a number to call for assistance. Check in went fast and the man told us where the room was, then was off to doing whatever he was doing. We had a family next to us somewhere, that you could clearly hear through the walls the majority of the evening. The tv did not work. Only turned on and off. No option to even put in your own accounts to watch it. It was just for looks. There is no cell service there, so wifi is the only option. It hardly worked. It's a place to lay your head but for the price, it was lacking. You will be paying for it's convenience of being close to the north east gate of Yellowstone. I have to give it 3 stars for convenience. Not quality or customer service.

This is an older property and when we arrived the restaurant was closed and note in the room advised not to use water from 7 am - 3:30pm to avoid water backup while they were remodeling. No air conditioning but their was a ceiling fan which didn't seem to have more than one speed. Keycard entry but no 2nd lock on the door.

Older hotel that needs a complete makeover. No air conditioning, rotating fan in a 75* room. The toilet was from 1970’s, approximately 12” tall, no cold water in the sink and ran out of hot water for showers in the morning. We had two rooms and the second room had the ceiling falling down and mostly the same as the other room. That aside, the rooms did appear clean and the beds were good. I guess I expected a lot more for the $200 price tag.
