It was very close to yellowstone entrance. We were there in 5 mins. The room is small,but clean and has a great view of the river. There is a great grocery store right close by. But, the room doesn't have any utensils to cook anything on the hot plate that the room had.

We were in unit 16 which is on the upper level. Very nicely renewed decor, a private deck with a scenic view of the river and mountains, two bedrooms with a spacious kitchen area. The parking was a bit tight with space only for 1 vehicle per unit. The main road passed just outsid the bedroom window, but didn't seem too noisy after 11:00. We really enjoyed stating there.
