Our room was very clean and beds were great. Most of all, the staff was exceptional! Friendly and helpful folks. The motel is an easy walk to some shops and cafes for a quick stop before entering YNP.

This is an older, well taken care of hotel. The rooms were old school, but very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It had very poor wi-fi, which was not best for my husband. Had beautiful views from patio. Would I stay here again… absolutely. Very convenient for getting into Yellowstone.

Nice clean affordable good beds

Great value and conveniently located! Rooms were great with comfortable beds, and a bathtub! (Bonus) nice back patio with view of the river. Office was only open at 4 for check ins, the rest of the time you’d have to hunt down a cleaning person. We loved the coffee and tea bar that was outside the office!

This is a family owned hotel/motel. We found our room had what we needed. It definitely is an older building. Our room had stains on the carpet, but it was decently clean. The air-conditioner worked great. The best part was the staff and location. I felt welcomed. And I could walk to get food. Plus it is right at the entrance to Yellowstone. I think this place was a good value.
