We were given a room with broken furnitures which could've been dangerous for my kid as the drawer was about to fall on his foot. No hot water in shower. Same breakfast everyday. Front desk staff didnt care. No housekeeping on day 1. Overall it was a horrible hotel for the money that we paid. I feel cheated by expedia. I demand a apology from the expedia.
Broken drawer. Was about to fall on my kid's foot. I stopped it. Thank God.

Convenient and walkable. Only complaint was I was admonished by some self important staff person for putting a couple scoops of ice in my cooler to help keep medicine and supplements I travel with cold. Apparently only one scoop is allowed which is ridiculous as after paying $250+ per night I think it's only reasonable that I should be able to get the ice I need. I complained to the manager and he agreed with me. I found out that the hotel sells bags of ice for $8 so now I realized staff was just hustling me to buy a bag of ice...which I didn't need. I just needed the equivalent of maybe a 1/4 of a small bag. Anyway I felt it was a shameful unnecessary hustle of the very tourists that support their town by virtually paying double for everything imaginable. But we all know that's part of the deal when traveling.

Huge rooms that are a bit dated but, well maintained. Thankful for the blackout curtains or we'd have had street lights directly overhead shining into the room.

Broken bathroom door, squeaky shower, charged ice

Arrived to find a broken bathroom door that wouldn't close, the shower made a horrible squealing squeaky sound, they charged $2 for ice and $14/person (children included) for continental breakfast. Room was dirty and out-dated, mattresses uncomfortable and will never stay here again.

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.
