This hotel was okay. For the price of the room they should of had some kind of breakfast.On our second night there they rented our room to someone else. We had strangers walk into our hotel room. It was a beautiful little town and close to yellowstone.

Older hotel that needs a complete makeover. No air conditioning, rotating fan in a 75* room. The toilet was from 1970’s, approximately 12” tall, no cold water in the sink and ran out of hot water for showers in the morning. We had two rooms and the second room had the ceiling falling down and mostly the same as the other room. That aside, the rooms did appear clean and the beds were good. I guess I expected a lot more for the $200 price tag.

The room was great. No airconditioner, just a ceiling fan, but luckily the day & night were both comfortable. Restaurant was not good. We had bloody marys that were served with no garnishes & no ice. My husbands hamburger did not taste like beef even though it was advertised as beef. General manager was amazing on the phone & in person. Will definitely stay there again, just wont eat there next time.

No AC, “repair man” left his stuff in our refrigerator and came to get it after we’d gotten in bed. My white socks got DIRTY just walking on the bedroom floor. Was glad we were only there one night.

Made reservations for ground floor due to recent surgery. Did not have the room and does not have handicap accessible for a second floor. The room, walls, and bathroom was not very clean. They do not have microwaves in the room, charging outlets and one small mirror. However, the convenience to the park was good.
