This property is very dated, and run down. Our room was clean for the most part. The hotel could be very charming, but needs some work. Cooke City did not have much to offer in the way of dining or entertainment, but access into the Northeast entrance of Yellowstone National Park was great.

In Cooke for a 4 day sled trip. For our purpose everything was just fine. Food was pretty good. Staff was helpful enough. Had this been a vacation I would say the place is extremely dated, the rooms are small, the restaurant is only open in 2-3 hour increments, there is no vending or continental breakfast

I am a Wyoming native who grew up in Teton County, Wyoming and now live in Fremont County, Wyoming. I have traveled all over Wyoming and much of Montana. This hotel was a huge disappointment. I have not been to Cooke City, Montana since the 1980s. I was expecting the hotel to at least have the basics when it comes to a clean room, a comfortable bed, WiFi, TV Service and an ability to contact hotel staff. I made a phone call on the Hotel phone and an answering machine picked up and said to leave a message. The hotel smelled bad like mold. There was no staff around much of the time. The small fridge in the room made a loud buzzing noise much of the time and I had to unplug it. The building itself looked as if it were decaying. The floor in the room was sagging when I walked toward the entry door. At night you could see light under the door as there was a one inch gap and light over the top of the door as well. The entire Hotel building should be condemned. I don't know who owns this property but they should be fined for serious infractions. Do not stay at this hotel.

Hotel staff was amazing, and the facilities were clean and good to stay in. Bar was nice and good was good too. The only reason I'd say not so great as it was $220 for an $100 room. Great authentic place but you are paying for the location. Cafe across the street I top notch too. Would stay again.

Perfectly acceptable accommodation. A bit dated but comfortable beds and clean. Easy walk to a few food options. WiFi is spotty in the room and there is zero options for connecting in the area other than hotel or restaurant wifi. Recommend for super quick access to/from Yellowstone.
