I had a wonderful stay at One Horse Motel. The room was very clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything I needed, including a fridge, microwave, TV, and strong Wi-Fi. The location couldn’t be better—just a few minutes from the West Entrance of Yellowstone. Almost everything is within walking distance: restaurants, shops, and supermarkets, and there’s even a lovely park right across the street. Parking right in front of the room was convenient, and the check-in process was simple. Overall, this motel is a great choice for anyone visiting Yellowstone National Park and looking for comfort and good value!

The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. It is self check-in/check-out and the phone number provided goes to an automated message for Yellowstone Adventures, so it could be a little difficult to contact staff if there are issues. The price was a good deal and the location is convenient for a Yellowstone vacation. We would not stay here again, because it was hard to sleep. The windows have no drapes and light shines in through the blinds. Worse, the walls are very thin and let sound through. Every night we stayed, a loud and drunken group of people was hanging out in the chairs in the parking lot outside the rooms. We could also hear the guests in our neighboring room having an argument late at night.

We only stayed one night on our way to Yellowstone and it was a last minute reservation. I loved the convenience of arranging and accessing the room. The room was surprisingly large and comfortable. We would definitely come back and use the motel as our base.
