Gray Wolf Inn & Suites

First to make some things clear - lodging in Yellowstone is expensive, it is not a year round destination and for example we paid almost double the price than Hyatt in Denver. However, having booked our room 6 months prior to our trip with free cancel option, I had plenty of time to change it. That never happened. Reason - simply I did not find a better solution in terms of price/quality/location. Location is great - at the beginning of town, 5 min drive from YP gates, 10 min walk from downtown restaurants and entertainment. Free parking. Rooms are average - classic two queens we're used to when touring USA. Pool is great - fair in size and perfectly heated, plus the hot tub behind. They serve a hearty breakfast to start your day of adventures - very good one for American standards. Nice touch are the cookies and smores kits you can prepare by the fireplace outside. All the staff was kind and helping

Our stay at Gray Wolf in West Yellowstone was overall good. Check-in went smoothly, and the complimentary breakfast was enjoyable. There is no on-site restaurant, so we had to find food elsewhere, but they provided complimentary S’mores kits and a fire in the evening, which was really fun. We stayed in a two-queen room, which was a bit compact, as we booked at the last moment. The hotel offers free secured garage parking as well as side parking, which we appreciated, though the parking lot is small and not well-paved, and the notice about not being responsible for theft felt a bit awkward. The front desk was always busy, and we had to wait in line for check-in and other queries. The housekeeping service was good and always available.The hotel provided a pack-and-play for our baby, two water bottles in the room, and had a water filter on-site. There’s a nice indoor pool, though we didn’t use it since we were mostly at the park and were tired by the time we returned. Overall, the property is a good choice for a Yellowstone trip, and we would probably opt for a more spacious room in the future.A safety note for West Yellowstone: driving at night can be tricky, as pedestrians often walk randomly on the roads. While they technically have right of way, it can be dangerous in the dark. We also saw a driver hit a parked car by the roadside at night, which was unsettling.

We’ve stayed here twice and have been really happy with it! The interior is a little dated - the carpets could be replaced and the room itself is quite dim despite many lamps and lights. The bed is comfortable though and the housekeepers came very day and did a great job; Then pool and hot tub are the cleanest I’ve ever seen in a hotel. The breakfast isn’t quite typical for a hotel but we ate it 5 days in row no problem. 3 types of cereal, bananas, oranges, juice, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, bagels, wheat bread, PB, jelly, cream cheese, breakfast taquitos (soft, not crunchy), sausage and egg patties. They have cookies every afternoon and s’mores kits which the kids love. We also got an amenity bag for our dog which was a nice touch. I will definitely stay here again!
