Close to Yellowstone National Park. Parking at the hotel was easily accessible. Breakfast buffet at the hotel was included with the cost of each room. Hotel is within walking distance of numerous places for lunch & dinner. Rooms were clean & spacious. However it would have been nice if there had been a grab bar next to the toilet as it was very low. Toilet would have been suitable for a young child not an adult.

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.

After reading other reviews of The White Buffalo, I was hesitant to book, but I was a last-minute traveller and it seemed like a cost-effective option. I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, the property is older, but my room was in the main building (first floor down the hall from the front desk), and it was clean and updated with well-regulated temperatures. My daughter and I felt safe. The staff were all very friendly and polite. It was the best included breakfast (for two) I’ve found in quite some time, especially the fresh fruit and protein options. It was in a convenient location to the National Park. I would stay again!
