Great accommodations. The rooms are huge, plenty of space for us, kids and a dog. Dog friendly, with poop bags and dog treats available at the front desk. Pet fee is nominal compared to other hotels. Great view of a sunset over the mountains, and elk frequent the parking lot.Breakfast is rather sparse compared to other Super 8s I’ve stayed at, consisting of just muffins and coffee, but there’s a good breakfast/lunch spot inside the hotel that has really good food. Though it’s not included, they do offer a discount for hotel guests.

The room was very clean. Somethings needed a little bit of updating but all in all it was very well kept it wasn’t overly noisy, even though we were right by a door from anything other than the heater, which was going off and kept us up all night long going only running for about a minute at a time it would go off a few minutes later. Go back on the front desk later told me I should’ve called that there is a setting for Eco For the you know push to be green. It was absolutely horrific, but not any fault of management. it is the fault of the requirements by ownership.. that should never be on when it will affect somebody all night long. Had a room with three queen beds because the amount of people all family traveling together was told that there would be breakfast, but the restaurant had been closed. The lady had not had a break unfortunately it was just bad timing so all they had was some muffins and juice so again, not really the fault of the manager who I spoke with that was very nice. The lady that was on the Night Shift was not so nicenot friendly and was kind of rude, but the day manager was very kind and explained a lot of things even though I did not agree with some, I would still go back and stay the location the parking and the cleanliness of the room was fantastic.

Firstly, let me start by saying that Chris who manages the front desk has the most impeccable work ethic and his Customer Service skills are #1!!!! he was helpful and quite informative for just about anything you may need or want to know.. our room clean as a whistle and PS the coffee they make very good. Watch out stepping out in the morning into the parking lot. You might see an elk or two or three.. this hotel is walking distance to Yellowstone, which again number one! And right across the street from a market and a gas station and church
