Stay here if this is your last option.

For the money, the upkeep and maintenance was less than desirable. Some rooms had a microwave and fridge, but ours didn’t. We were told by the staff we had to request that when we booked, but that was never stated to us when we booked. Overall, the experience was subpar.

The guy who check me in was not friendly, almost rude. i ask where the ice dispenser was and he replied its out there, and I ask again specifically where it was and he replied you will see it outside. I arrive around 7PM Friday and there was no coffee. the room I got was on the the second floor and two or three steps of the wooden stairs was wiggling. Parking inside was two tight, if your lucky to park on the inside and its almost full, you need to backup to the streets, the parking lot was dark The rooms are big but inside feels musky, the toilets don't have exhaust, water was strong but takes a wile to heat up.

As far as location, it can't be much better. We did find the room clean and comfortable enough. Needs updates, but served the purpose. I guess paying for the location, for the cost I would expect more. But I still can recommend.

Decent stay

The hotel was nice for what we needed. Nothing special but overall, we were pleased. Waited around in the morning for 15 minutes past the time we were told they would open and no one showed up. Kind of bummed we had to go somewhere else for our morning cup of coffee.

Clean room. Reasonable rate. I was pleasantly surprised by this budget motel. The building is obviously old, but the room interiors were nice. Strong water pressure in shower! Close to Yellowstone entrance with great dining close by within walking distance. Why pay more?

Outside wooden stairs split clear across, causing step to bend down. I almost fell. Absolutely no response from front desk when I brought it to her attention. Outdoor carpet on upper walkway is lumpy, which is a tripping hazard. Bedidng worn and outdated, carpet stained, drapes blocking a/c controls. It is in a good location for park access.

Close to NP entrance but rooms are old and smelled. Tried to open windows but none had screens. The carpet is rolling up everywhere and a trip hazard. Specifically booked here because I needed a fridge. Asked at the front desk and they said yes. Fridge was broken though and we lost all of our cold items because of it. There were no other fridges available. Expensive for what you get. I’d like to contact the manager.

Beds are paper thin and rock hard. Doors don’t fit closed so bugs can crawl in under them. Staff was nice and it was the cheapest stay in town, but you get what you pay for.

Things are clean but old. Window glass was cracked and held by duck tape. Air dryer was edge-melted. No coffee, microwave or fridge in room. Need to go to the office where there were one kettle of coffee and a small microwave. But they do the job of keeping you alright for one night.
