Good for price
Price was good. Beds were a bit hard. Breakfast was only for 2 people and others had to pay $13 each. But it was a good hot breakfast.

The office staff member was so incredibly rude to the foreigner who did speak English in front of us. He was attempting to use his phone to translate and she very disrespectfully told him she couldn’t help him. Never even tried to understand his issue fully and brushed him aside. Then when directing us to our room and parking completely told us the wrong information. Didn’t even explain that there were two buildings. Room was decent but still not up to our expectations. Over priced and Disappointed!

This is an upscale motel 6. Large room that is well worn. Our room was noisy. (Foot steps overhead). Very loud bathroom fan.

Great location
It’s a little dated and quirky, but the rooms are generously sized. It’s very convenient to the West Yellowstone entrance and walking distance to restaurants, etc. Check in/Check out were easy. I’d stay here again for the convenience.

We stayed here during our trip to Yellowstone. It was convenient to the park and the price, even though it was high for the facility, was good compared to the other motels in the area. It was an old motel, but well kept. We did OK in staying there.
