Good and Bad

The good. Employees were nice and accommodating. Food in the restaurant was excellent. Very nice view of the North Shoshone River. The bad. Site advertises as TV with VCR. That means no TV. Just a monitor for the VCR. Man who checked in before us cancelled and left after seeing the room and no TV. Rooms were small with no amenities. We received no new towels. When asked, they said we had to request additional towels. No trash service. We had to take out our trash. We were scheduled to stay 5 nights and left after the 4th. I would recommend having dinner in the restaurant if in the area. Otherwise, too many nice places in the area to choose from. Unfortunately, we did not select one of those.

New York visits Wapiti

It was a perfect stop before going into Yellowstone Park. The scenery with the mountains and the river flowing was breathtaking. The onsite bar and restaurant was awesome and we happened to be there when they had live music which just added another star to our stay. Beautiful place! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) Gorgeous Spot Near Yellowstone,

We really enjoyed our stay at Yellowstone Valley Inn! The location is perfect—so close to Yellowstone 🐻🌲 and surrounded by beautiful views. The double sink setup in the room was super convenient too 🚿🚿. However, since it’s the only place between Cody and the park, we hoped for a few more practical touches. Longer store and restaurant hours, or even a small quick-service kitchen with grab-and-go meals 🍔 would make a big difference. Also, there’s no TV service—just a DVD player, which wasn’t clear when we booked. We assumed there’d be regular TV, and the listing didn’t mention otherwise 📺❌. A ceiling fan in the room would also help with air flow, especially during warmer nights 🌬️. All in all, it’s a charming place in a prime spot, with just a few areas that could level up the guest experience 😊.

Before we even arrived they helped us in so many ways, the room we reserved ended up being on a 2nd floor and my husband cannot do stairs, so they ended up moving us into a cabin. This was right when the opened for the season, so a few minor problems with the room but they were very quick to take care of it. The food in the restaurant was very good. They had everything to meet our needs except for a small store but they let us know where we could get what we needed. Would stay here again for sure.

Nice enough for an overnight, but not the most convenient possibly due to staffing shortages. The front desk closes at 5pm on weekends; while the lockbox arrangement worked for delivering the key and other information, the ice we needed to ice down my wife's sprained ankle was locked up in the reception area. We also weren't expecting a second floor room (see sprained ankle, above, and there was no way to ask for a ground floor room at that point), nor a mattress that seemed intent on rolling us into the center of the bed. The HVAC remote control was dead; "breakfast" was coffee and plastic-wrapped donuts. But the location was great (overlooking the Shoshone River and convenient for Yellowstone's East Entrance) and, as I said, overall it was OK for an overnight stop. Just set your expectations accordingly.
