Close to Yellowstone National Park. Parking at the hotel was easily accessible. Breakfast buffet at the hotel was included with the cost of each room. Hotel is within walking distance of numerous places for lunch & dinner. Rooms were clean & spacious. However it would have been nice if there had been a grab bar next to the toilet as it was very low. Toilet would have been suitable for a young child not an adult.

We booked this hotel last minute because we were planning on camping but had a member of our group get a flat and go down on a motorcycle so we needed to stay in a cleaner environment, I didn’t have high expectations because it was the cheapest cheapest available but I was really shocked how nice this hotel really was. The rooms were clean and spacious, the hotel was nicely decorated to match the theme and they have the most amazing delicious free breakfast. I’ve stayed at probably thousands of hotels at this point in my life and never have I experienced such a lovely free breakfast, they had so many delicious options that I wanted to try but couldn’t eat anymore. There are many options of where to stay in this area, butI would definitely look for this place to book again. Every single person I interacted with in the hotel was very sweet and helpful and truly seem like they just wanted you to have a good stay.

The free breakfast was very good. Liked how they had the buffet so you could choose. Also like that employees dished it up. It tasted good and had good choices. About the only thing we didn’t like was the bed was not comfortable. Left us a bit achy. The mattress seemed like it should be replaced.

What can I say. This is a 2-star motel in West Yellowstone. It served its purpose of providing a place to sleep. Price was reasonable compared to the competition. Beds were hard. Water pressure was soft. The free breakfast buffet is only for 2 even when booking for 3. Strange. The breakfast buffet is really 1 trip past the buffet line because you will not be making a second one. The buffet is overpriced at $15.99 for anyone who does not get it free. I'm not saying this place is bad. I'm also not saying this place is great.

First there were no elevators to carry our luggage up to our floor, second there was not a second security lock on our door, third there was no safety mat in our shower and forth, there were 4 in our party but only two of us got to eat breakfast. The hotel said the other two would have to pay 14.00 for breakfast because we booked on expedia even though we were charged for 4 people in our room, and fifth, the air-conditioning had no vent cover to prevent all the dust from blowing back in our room. We will never stay in this hotel again. We were very disappointed. Stay away find a different hotel.
