Breakfast was amazing and also the breakfast staff was very helpful and courteous. The front desk staff, housekeeping, everyone was so friendly and willing to offer any kind of help needed. The location in town is perfect for dinner, shopping and entertainment and the location to the entrance to Yellowstone was the icing on the cake. If we ever travel to this area again we will be returning the the Best Western Desert Inn.

Great hotel right in the middle of town. Great "full" breakfast buffet and tasty. Conveniently located near shopping, dining and even a Super Market 2 blocks away. Had a nice fridge with freezer section that we kept supplies for our daily trips. This is a nice hotel for the price point. Clean indoor pool and large jacuzzi. Kind of noisy at night with the traffic.
