The room was clean and staff was helpful anytime we asked. There was a very large bug on the wall, which one of the staff immediately removed for us. We would stay there again.

The staff person at check in was very personable and answered all our touristy questions. The small patio above the river was nice to relax and have a drink after a long day of travel. Short walk to Roosevelt Arch for photos and saw wildlife just over the Yellowstone fence.

Wonderful little gem! We were traveling from Yellowstone and after a long day in the park, we were exhausted and ready to rest. After the trouble getting through Jackson Hole (the traffic was brutal), we were thrilled to find ourselves tucked away at the Snake River Lodge! Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The view from the patio was outstanding, proximity to YNP couldn't be better. The rooms were basic, but clean and we got a great night of rest on a comfortable bed. We were greeted in the morning by a parking lot of elk. Coffee at checkout was a great touch.
