I have missed this little gem as it is off the main drags in West. I will stay again! For this time of year it was very affordable, great staff, clean and comfy! Plenty of parking, a park across the road

The free breakfast was very good. Liked how they had the buffet so you could choose. Also like that employees dished it up. It tasted good and had good choices.
About the only thing we didn’t like was the bed was not comfortable. Left us a bit achy. The mattress seemed like it should be replaced.

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.

Good Value No Frills Hotel
This is a good no frills hotel to stay at while visiting Yellowstone. They offer a good buffet breakfast served by attentive staff. Close to the park and within town shops and restaurants.

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.

As an older hotel it was clean and convenient to our objective. We did like the offered a full breakfast buffet to guests. The staff was polite. The only down side is it is not very handicap convenient as there are no elevators and if you stay on the second floor you have to take stairs which is harder on someone with bad knees and a bad back. Overall we enjoyed our stay there.

Breakfast was okay. Rooms are definitely pretty old and simple. Just know that the beds are very firm. Service was good though.
