OK, so this motel is the opposite of modern. However, it so fits the location and why you’re probably visiting. It gives old-fashioned pioneer vibes, but it does so in a way that still allows all of the conveniences. However, the main reason why I was so impressed with this place were the people managing it. From the man who was conducting maintenance, but was immediately helpful with parking to the sweet office lady that we roused from bed to help us unlock our room when we inadvertently locked ourselves out, everyone was so nice and helpful. Our entire stay was really nice. The people made the place.

We expected a room like the photos. Instead we received a room with a 3.5ft x 3.5ft standup shower where the shower curtain stuck to you, water was constantly in my eyes and didn’t drain properly. Stained carpet, flooring and chairs. The room was smaller than expected. The bed however was comfortable, clean and tidy. If you do choose to stay there, don’t stay in room #2. I wouldn’t make the same choice staying in West Glacier.

The price was great, so dealing with a few inconveniences happens. There wasn't a coffeemaker or microwave in our room, so our plan to have microwaved dinners didn't work! We bought a little coffee maker and some coffee. Had we asked they had extra coffee pots available. So ask before you buy. I don't know if they might have had a microwave or not. It was comfortable. The water in the shower hard to keep one temp, but I got clean. The ac/heat unit was either hot or cold! But it worked! I'm sure I wouldn't take my older parents there, but for me and my kids, I'd stay there again. Super easy access to Yellowstone NP.

Everything in West Yellowstone is very overpriced however, we found Pioneer to be great value! It's not the newest by any means, but the full size kitchen was fantastic and the bed was incredibly comfortable. It's also a real treat that it's only a couple minutes from the west entrance to the park! The only downside is the wifi was very average so if you need high speed internet come prepared. We would happily stay here again!
