The Honest Truth
Look, it's not the Ritz. It's a solid mid-century hotel with a basic but clean setup and a breakfast that helps you start the day. Location is unbeatable for Yellowstone access, but the building lacks an elevator and some amenities are basic at best. If you’re chasing park proximity and value, this hits the mark, especially in family or pet-friendly configs.
Who Should Skip This
Anyone who must have elevator access or seeks modern, luxury vibes will be unhappy here.

Book direct for best rates; request a first-floor room if stairs are a pain; confirm pet-friendly room 111, 109, or 115 if bringing a dog.
