June stay

Our stay was ok. The hotel position was good, easy access to Yellowstone National Park & walking distance into the centre of town. Our room was a bit tired, but comfy. The highlight of the stay was the breakfast with very friendly and helpful kitchen/serving staff.

Insanely clean. Breakfast free for two people. But need fan inside bathrooms and if you are on ground floor then upper floor walking cracking sounds bothers sometimes. If you are a sensitive sleeper then ask for upper floor. Else everything is very good. We will recommend this hotel without a doubt.

Floor was squeeky, bathroom bowl was unstable, the lights would flicker if you turn on the AC, the room service would open the door without knocking, the carpets were very dusty, the faucet was broken and loose, mattress was very old.. you will sink in the mattress,… not worth the price.. i paid $330 a night.. would be okay if they charge around $100 for this room

The best word I can come up with for this place is functional. The bed was uncomfortable. Toilet ring was broken. Hot water was sporadic in the morning. And huge groups were incessantly loud in the evening slamming doors every five minutes. These were not teenagers either.

Sheets not turned over from prior guest having freshly dried blood stains. Towels stained, tub not clean. Advertised breakfast/was none. Advertised laundry . It was in basement had to walk through filthy paths and kitchen items to get there, then told no services. Sent photos to Expedia still waiting on refund reply. Expedia is stepping in on our behalf. I don’t recommend this hotel. Also you have to lug your suitcase up a flight of stairs to get the elevator. Horrible experience

Older large hotel looks like it was at one time very nice. Staff were all friendly, courteous, and helpful. Dated rooms, no plugs for usb, beds were comfortable and nice bedclothes. Room was very clean and lots of pillows. Buffett, not self serve, breakfast was very good. The pancakes and french toast looked delicious, but no sugar free syrup. The buffett staff were very pleasant and hard working. The guests talked loudly in the halls till after 11 and were up and talkingludly and letting doors slam at 6:15. Our alarm was set for 8, but we gave up both days because that and the creaking from people walking in the room above us kept us from being able to sleep. We loved the staff and cleanliness, bu the property needs a lot of updating. There was a bench and seating outside, but they were all broken. You cold tell it had a lot of potential. .
