A nice place to spend a night.

A really nice place especially if you like Bear stuff. It has a nice soft bed and a few stairs to get to it. We really liked it.

This was a quick stop for me on my way from MT to CO. It was a beautiful area and perfect for a solo traveler to get some rest before setting out again. Check in and check out was all contact less and the room was extremely nice.

Really cute decor. Theresa was very responsive and helpful about finding a place for dinner and breakfast. We were not expecting so many stairs. Could use some more soundproofing.

Loved the care and attentive to furnishings in my tidepool themed room. No amenities. Rooms are up a long, steep, dark stairway and no staff are on site, so think of this as a comfortable, safe, reasonably priced boarding house.

The "cabin" feel of the room is great. Nice decor. Loved the floor in the bathroom (looked like a stream). However, there were like zero amenities. No fridge, no microwave, certainly no pool, and NO COFFEE in the room. Could have at least provided coffee at a minimum.

Very unusual motel, good location.

Ray’s Inn is one of kind. It’s not your typical motel. Once you book a room, you get an access code to your room and that’s it. No lobby, no clerk at the desk, heck, there is no desk. But it’s not bad at all. The room was small-ish but clean and was decorated in an Egyptian motif, very unusual but cute. The location is great. In walking distance to a restaurant, gas station, convenient store and a general store. It’s one hour from Grand Teton National park and 30 minutes from the Teton pass. I liked it, it suited my need and I was happy with it.

Not again

Hauling bags up 2 flights of stairs was hard. Despite help, tv never worked. Room cramped. Traffic noise annoying. Seashell decor well done , if entirely surprising for the locale.

A bit different

Room was fairly small. No dressers, chairs, hooks on wall to hang towels or clothing. Right next to main route so semis, trucks, etc woke us up wee early in mornings. Steep stairs to room so don’t carry luggage if any as there is no place to put it. Rooms are located above auto shop.

Unique alternative to Jackson Hole etc

This was an excellent lodging for its unique interior decorations, small community, proximity to both the Tetons and Targhee National Forest, and attentive staff. Because it's near the corner where Highway 26 meets Pine Creek Rd, traffic was audible at night BUT the bathroom fan is loud enough to drown out the sound, lol. This was a great place to stay as you can easily access many hiking trails and get your share of gorgeous views, without the noisy crowd. Whatever this inn may lack makes up for it in customer service! Our shower broke and was addressed/fixed the same day. We were so thankful and appreciative of that. PS we got the Rocky Mountain Suite with a flayed bear hanging right above the headboard-- something one must show off to family and friends!

Great Stay

Much better room than the one my buddies stayed in in Jackson Hole and for a fraction of the price. This is not a cookie cutter hotel room, but very clean, modern bath and sink, and a decent bed (kinda soft mattress,but not an issue for me). Only real problem for people who have bad knees is that you have to walk up a long flight of stairs to get to the room. Never met hostess, but very responsive to texts and calls. You get a code to open the door to the room. I was rushed to get out my last day and forgot to leave a nice tip, so make sure you make up for my failure. The town is an hours drive from Jackson. Put the address in your GPS, cuz the building doesn't look like a hotel

Went to check in and NOBODY was present to check me in. I called the phone number listed on the building 3 times and got a voice mail asking me to give a number and she would call me back. I finally left and drove to Jackson, WY to get a room. I would NEVER recommend this place to anybody. Oh, it’s now Sunday, 6/30 @ 8am and she has not called me back yet.
