This was everything we needed after a long day at Yellowstone. It is located right outside the park. Easy parking, easy check in. The room had air conditioning. It is a small room but had everything we needed and was in such a convenient location.
A very nice stay. Well priced for the area and had a fun cabin feel. Property was dated but well maintained and clean. It was not a bad thing, it reminded my wife and I both of visiting our grandparents!
This was a great place to stay for one night. Location was very close to the downtown area. I would have left a five star review but our shower head was just a trickle which made it very challenging.
Location is excellent. Staff was very helpful. Rooms are dated, but that’s the charm of it. We would have liked a mini fridge and a hair dryer, but definitely not a deal breaker.
Clean, comfortable room. Small size. Only complaint was the shower water temp would vary alot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
This place was quaint. A throwback to what overnight accommodations used to be like in the 60's. The owner was quite delightful. The beds are small and extra firm...and there are no "amenities". If you are looking for a place to sleep with no frills, this is it.
We had a great 2 night stay at the Pioneer Motel. We used the motel as our homebase to explore Yellowstone National Park. It was perfect. Comfortable, good shower, good bed. All the amenities you would expect: large refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Bring your own coffee if you expect a high grade coffee. Ice machine was great for the hot days.
Staff was very courteous and helpful. Staff went out of their way to handle any request or answer any questions that arose. These cabins are perfect. They give off the Yellowstone log cabin wilderness five. They are not the white walls and hard floors like most materials. A perfect place to just stay the night after a long day in the park.

Worst description by Expedia for explaining property features.
In the last 30 years of hotel/motel stays, I can only remember a handful that stood out. This stay will always stand out in my mind. So unique and comfortable. Loved the courtyard with the old school seating etc. The rooms were so well done, you would think you were back in the 60s If we ever get back to Bozeman, we wouldn't stay anywhere else but the Pioneer
Such a sweet lady checking us in. We stayed in the family mobile home and it was just right! My kiddos did not want to leave. Cute little, whimsical, eclectic motel/cabins. There is a laundry mat across the street as well as a Running Bear pancake house.
Very poor water pressure out of the shower , I don't know if this is a citywide thing or just location, but you shouldn't be able to charge over $99 for a room with this low water pressure, everything else was fine nice owner.
