did solo trip to yellowstone for mid october. This place worked good for me and my needs. Quick entry to the park. A reasonable breakfast. Room was comfortable for me. Took me a little experimenting to figure out room temperature control. Dining room staff very nice and accommodating. It's not fancy but it met my needs so all good.

We just happened upon the hotel and the staff was exceptional! So friendly and helpful. Great suggestion to Hank's Grill which was just a block away. They have a full breakfast bar and the girls were wonderful servers. We will definitely stop by next time we are in West Yellowstone.

We called because we would be arriving after the 11pm check-in deadline, and the gal at the front desk offered to stay until we made it through the snow storm we were driving in. The breakfast was great. The room was clean. The hotel is showing some age, but it was what we were looking for when we chose this stay due to the lower price compared to others near by.

Close to Yellowstone National Park. Parking at the hotel was easily accessible. Breakfast buffet at the hotel was included with the cost of each room. Hotel is within walking distance of numerous places for lunch & dinner. Rooms were clean & spacious. However it would have been nice if there had been a grab bar next to the toilet as it was very low. Toilet would have been suitable for a young child not an adult.
