While this property is very old the family owners have done a very good job keeping it clean, updated, and quiet. Our parking was just outside our room. WI-FI was fast and easy to connect our devices to. The area is very walkable with lots of shopping and dining options. The property also has a connected restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s location provides easy access to Yellowstone’s west entrance.
