We were here in January 2025 for a couple winter tours in Yellowstone Park. It wasn't busy so hard to tell about noise issues but it very comfortable. The breakfast was fine, typical hotel breakfast. The host in the breakfast area was very nice and attentive. Would stay here again.

The property needs better renovation. From check in, unfortunately there was a wait as there was just one person on the front desk and about 4 customer in line. Overall, the property is kept clean but desk chair in room had torn arm rest and 2 oil or white color stains on the bedsheet for one of the queen bed. There were few trucks parked in the entrance and low street lights but over all felt safe as its close to market. I was satisfied with the stay but maybe in coming future the rooms can benefit from makeover.

Nothing wrong with this motel. Quiet, decent breakfast, friendly staff. Unfortunately, the walkable restaurants were full, with long wait times. Even the local Subway sandwich shop greeting was “we are out of cheese”.

Good choice
A weekend with my pre-teen grandkids at Yellowstone NP. This hotel was an excellent location: walking distance to multiple restaurants & shops, short drive to the west entrance of the park, so much to see and do! The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful, the facility is clean & comfortable with a great breakfast buffet, a lovely pool & hot tub, but no workout facility. We had an oversized room with two comfy & fresh queen beds. One big problem was a lack of private space to change clothes; only a small water closet (tub & toilet) area with limited maneuverability. We made due, but families or friends should be aware. Overall it's a very good choice!

The hotel was good with a nice big room that was extremely spacious. However, the bathroom was very small. The sink was outside in the room and separate to the toilet and bathroom. This was inconvenient. The room was clean and the microwave and fridge facilities were very good. The room needs to refurbished and modernised.

We had a great stay. The beds were very comfortable, the run was spacious, the pool clean, and the breakfast was amazing. The price was high, but we got what we paid for. We had quality service and they cleaned up amazingly well. Very impressed with the staff.
