Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked the hotel expecting good air conditioning, multiple beds, a proper kitchen as all of this was shown in the pictures of the hotel. But when we arrived there was only one bed, a small air conditioner that did not cool the room, no kitchen just a microwave and an overall small room. We asked the staff what they could do about the air conditioning and they said they could not do anything but told just to open the windows.

The location is definitely prime. It’s 5 minutes to Yellowstone park entrance & even in the long line, people let you in. This rustic cabin vibe is very small. My husband is 6’6 & the shower/toilet space is not ideal. It’s just a really small space. The water pressure in the shower is like a soft rain, although it does get hot! The A/C unit in the cabin is louder than a jet & hooks up to the back window. Plus it takes up a good amount of space in this already tiny room. Again, not ideal if conversations are to be had. It’s really, really loud. If you’re looking for a bed, cramped toilet & small shower while seeing the park, The Bucking Moose is central to all the great starred restaurants & T-shirt shops to walk to. After driving all day, it’s nice to walk to dinner. If you’re above average in size, this space is really small; especially the bathroom. Think tiny house. It’s clean, stocked with Costco Kirkland coffee & bottled water & has clean bedding. Definitely convenient. Just wish it was a little bigger with more updated AC units. The grounds have gorgeous flowers! The parking has a handful of spots in front of each cabin door but slots are narrow with tree roots breaking through the concrete & others park over the line with no rules or etiquette enforced. I’d stay again but not sure the husband could.
