It was fine

The room was clean. The bathroom was clean. The furniture was scuffed and stained, but I just avoided it. If you’re staying here for the free breakfast, don’t.

The staff at the motel were very pleasant and efficient. The location was also very convenient to activities that we were doing for those few days in the area. Within five minutes of deciding to photograph the Aurora Borealis, we were standing with our cameras in a perfect spot just outside Gardiner.

Great Stay!

Wagon Wheel is a great option in West Yellowstone. Jay greeted us by name each day of our stay. Breakfast options have good variety, everything is clean, you can walk into the downtown area for shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend Wagon Wheel as a base for exploring Yellowstone!

In a town where winter sounds are dominated by loud snowmobiles, we loved that this location is off the beaten path so was much more quiet in the late-night and early-morning hours. Very clean and the staff was most accommodating.
