Nice stay, good basic room though the mattresses need an upgrade. Friendly staff and clean and quiet.
The staff was very friendly, breakfast was very good!
Comfortable beds, the TV in our room wasn't working, they changed us to a much better room the next day, great service!
This was a perfect place to stay for our trip. It was nice to have a warm breakfast before heading into Yellowstone. Staff was friendly and made up our room every day, which is something we haven’t experienced since Covid. Thank you for helping to make our trip a great experience.
We stayed 2 nights and we were a walkable distance from Main street shopping, places to eat, and entertainment. Our room was clean and spacious,and the hot buffet breakfast was good.
Wonderful place to stay if visiting Yellowstone Park. Nice breakfast. Like that they had coffee available all the time in the snack room off the lobby.
We were traveling at the end of the season so the breakfast area was closed. Not a big deal as the pricing is reduced for off season. The room was really nice, beds were incredibly comfy and the shower was great. Lobby area is really cool. Would stay again.

Great location
It’s a little dated and quirky, but the rooms are generously sized. It’s very convenient to the West Yellowstone entrance and walking distance to restaurants, etc. Check in/Check out were easy. I’d stay here again for the convenience.
