    We were very happy with our stay. The bed was comfortable and the bath was better designed than most hotels that we’ve stayed at. Walking distance to restaurants and shopping. Minutes to Yellowstone Park Gate. Fellow guests were friendly and quiet. We would stay here again.

    Property wasn’t what I expected. It was clean and centrally located but older and much nicer looking on the website. We weren’t there long so it provided us with what we needed.

    Advantage was proximity to park entrance. However, very few amenities and very small room for the price. More like a hotel room without any service.

    Thought I was getting a small cabin place but it was a motel room. No complaints, just very small with not much room to put things. Room was clean, not a bad spot in relation to everything in town. Check in and out was very easy.

    We wanted a nice, clean, up to date, no frills place to stay for our time at West Yellowstone and this was just it. Very nice property and room, safe, secure, parking in front of cabin. Can walk to pretty much every amenity in West Yellowstone including food, shops, bars and more! Would stay here again. Also located just blocks from the front gate of Yellowstone park (West Gate)
