Disliked: Cleanliness
Booking was super easy. People were easy to reach. Info they sent prior to our arrival was super helpful! Parking was nice! The cleanliness could have been better, Our room had a few cobwebs in the lights and on our coat rack and in the shower. We stayed in an economy room. We went early October and the restaurant was closed for the season which was a bummer but their are still other restaurants available nearby!
Very easy to self check in and out outside of season with emailed instructions and a text line. This made us getting into a place for the night super convenient with our dog, and it had everything we could've needed a couple night stay with cute rooms!
Exceeded my expectations!
We got this room because we wanted a budget option for our family of 4 and our dog. The room was much nicer than the pictures showed. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was great. The staff was so friendly. The nice restaurant across the street and the mini-mart at the Texaco had everything we needed. The Texaco had a "potato bar" for $1, and the kids could safely walk over and get hot cocoa or a potato.
At first glance the room was clean and cozy, but as we were preparing to go to bed we noticed that there were baby spiders along the top of the waynes coat which we had to clean out (my guess is that they cleaned up after the last guests but didn't check the room out again before renting it out again). The people in the room above us were up past midnight and we could hear them walking around and talking and you could hear the traffic go by like it was ten feet out the door. Custom service was all by phone/text, which was convenient as long as no assistance was needed. Overall - a one-night stay was okay, but I wouldn't stay any longer than that - maybe in the little cabins.
Horrible stay. The mini fridge, coffee pot, and microwave located in the bathroom. Paper thin walls that you can hear everything going on next door and outside. Beds uncomfortable and place very old and outdated. Would never recommend to stay here
The room was very cute. The bed was comfortable and there were a lot of pillows which i loved. The gas station/convenience store .1 miles away had great smash burgers and fries at a reasonable price. There appeared to be several restaurants nearby. Check in is done via text. We were coming from Yellowstone with 0 service. Had to borrow wifi from a hotel in West Yellowstone. Other than that, everything was great.
