I was traveling with my husband and my mom. We booked two rooms and requested that they be on the same floor so I could assist my 73-year-old mom whenever she needed me. When we checked in, we were told there were no two rooms available on the same floor. It was a busy night, and no other rooms were available. When I asked to change the room that was located right next to the breakfast area because it was noisy, the front desk staff said there were no vacant rooms. However, when we opened the door, the room was dirty. Only then did the staff manage to find another vacant room. I think she may have felt guilty for not being honest earlier, as she told me they would move our rooms together the next day since we were staying for three nights. The next day, we packed our belongings and vacated both rooms so they could easily relocate us to the same floor. When we returned around 8 p.m., we were told they couldn’t move our rooms because nothing was available. I can only assume they didn’t want to clean the rooms. When we returned to our original rooms, no housekeeping had been done — they were in the exact same condition as when we left. This was probably the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. The breakfast area was dirty, with flyers everywhere, and the staff seemed lazy and dishonest about everything.

This hotel near a horse ranch and backdropped by mountains was a pleasant and affordable setting for our week at Yellowstone. The drive to Yellowstone's west gate was about 10 minutes away and went through a small resort town that offered all the necessary amenities and good dining and shopping. A leather chair in the hotel's beautifully decorated lobby was where I snuggled in each evening to process photos from the day's adventures. The staff members were a delight to talk to and had intimate knowledge of the area. I loved the cinnamon rolls and my husband enjoyed the waffle maker at breakfast.

Everything was great. Bed could have been a little more comfortable and breakfast could use Moore hot foods like bacon and eggs otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

The location is remote and inconvenient to people coming from the west exit of Yellowstone Park, and the pics of its mountain view is not in a match with its fact.

Good hotel, but it is 8 miles away from West Yellowstone, not in West Yellowstone. They should not claim to be in West Yellowstone.

The staff was very welcoming when we first got there and were a wealth of information to help us decide what to do. The lobby was cute and inviting. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the facility is that it is quite loud when people are hanging out in the lobby (although our room was quite close to the lobby) and the shower head was not good. Other than that it was amazing. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

This location was very unique in the sense that it gives the traveler a mix of modern amenities in your room, but reminded that you are minutes away from yellowstone its lobby reminds the visitor of comforting cabin like setting and the communical outdoor areas at this location gives you rhe amazing colors and views of the mountains and so forth.
