If your lookin for the Holliday Inn on the mountain this isn't it. But if you want a place to sleep and close the the parks with good food and nice folks this is it. I've stayed at many mountain inn all over Wyoming & Montana and this is as food as any. The bath is a little tight but no worse then the first house the wife and I rented for 5 years.

small chilly room

Our stay was very brief (arriving at 11 pm the previous night and leaving by 7 am the following morning), and we found the room (#6) to be smaller than we had imagined. There wasn't a table to keep our phones on. Also, the rooms were clean. The caretaker left the AC on so when we arrived, it was very chilly. Overall, it's a nice location to visit the nearby national parks, and thats what mattered to us.

I stayed in a cabin/shed, which was a step up from camping! The bed was comfortable and it had an air conditioner and television, which both worked well. It was fine for the single night but I would do the regular room with attached bathroom if I were to stay longer.

Worst place we ever tried to check into.

Was advertised as “creekside chalet” and “panoramic”. Uh no! It was basically a shed out back, no creek, and the back of the establishment looked like a third world country. And this unit was out back with a view of all of that. Walked in, walked out, got back in the car and just started driving. Went to Fresno for a hotel. They also denied our request for refund otherwise I probably wouldn’t have typed this bad review. Luckily hotels.com gave us some of it back. I don’t recommend
