We booked this hotel last minute because we were planning on camping but had a member of our group get a flat and go down on a motorcycle so we needed to stay in a cleaner environment, I didn’t have high expectations because it was the cheapest cheapest available but I was really shocked how nice this hotel really was. The rooms were clean and spacious, the hotel was nicely decorated to match the theme and they have the most amazing delicious free breakfast. I’ve stayed at probably thousands of hotels at this point in my life and never have I experienced such a lovely free breakfast, they had so many delicious options that I wanted to try but couldn’t eat anymore. There are many options of where to stay in this area, butI would definitely look for this place to book again. Every single person I interacted with in the hotel was very sweet and helpful and truly seem like they just wanted you to have a good 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.

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
