Planning advice

Review Summary
Solid midrange value in Cody with an indoor pool and family-friendly rooms; affordable rates for Yellowstone trips; road noise and African decor are the talking points.
The Honest Truth
Not fancy, but solid value in Cody. Indoor pool, 52 rooms, and free continental breakfast. Road noise can affect light sleepers, and the African-themed decor is memorable, not boring.
Room Insider Tips
Request a back-building room to minimize road noise. Rooms on higher floors may offer better canyon views; specific unit numbers aren’t published, so ask at check-in.
Pro Tip Booking
  • Book six months ahead for peak season.
  • Use direct booking at kingsinncody.com for room selection.

Coffee verdict: the free continental breakfast is basic but keeps you going. Drive time to the park entrance is about 1h10m. Leave by 6:30 AM to beat the crowds and hit the gate with energy.
Best Time To Visit
September is the peak; the property is open year-round, with September being the most expensive month.
Pro Tips
  • Parking for buses and trailers is available.
  • Ask for a back-building room to reduce road noise.
