We roll into West Yellowstone chasing value. Evergreen Motel is a 1931 relic with 17 units, a legit base for Yellowstone without the resort price. Rates span $97 to $314, depending on season, with a 2-night minimum during peak times. Check-in runs 3:00–10:00 PM; parking is free but tight, and road noise may poke through in front-row rooms.
Hit the in-room coffee maker or grab a quick cup at the office before you head out. You’re about a 5–7 minute drive to the West Entrance, so plan to leave by 7:45 AM to beat the crowds. If you want a quieter start, request a back-building room away from the road.
✅ BOOK IF: You crave historic charm and park access on a budget. ❌ SKIP IF: You demand resort-style amenities, on-site dining, or pet-friendly policies.
Forested corner
Historic, early-20th-century motel design with rustic lodge-pine furnishings
Best for families seeking historic charm with park access; note road noise for rooms near the road; accessibility is limited in parts of the historic building.
April and October offer the lowest rates; peak season is in summer.
This is a historic, budget-friendly base near Yellowstone. It isn’t a luxe retreat, but you get proximity, character, and value. Parking is tight and WiFi can be flaky; expect compact rooms and modest amenities. If you want a true resort vibe, keep looking; if you want a credible, affordable park hub, this delivers.
Not suitable for guests who need accessible rooms beyond basic options, travelers with pets, or anyone hoping for an on-site restaurant. The building is historic, so rooms are smaller, and cots or rollaway beds aren’t available.
• Book well in advance for peak season. • Direct booking at theevergreenmotel.com may yield easier changes for peak dates. • Request back-building rooms to minimize road noise. • Consider the 2 Queen Deluxe (with kitchenette) for more space.
