Overview

About This Property

Prices swing from $129 off-peak to $373 in peak season; you get balconies and clean, modern rooms. No pool or breakfast, but proximity to West Yellowstone and the West Entrance is a game changer. We take those.

Skip the lobby coffee; local cafes are a short walk away. You’re 5 minutes from the West Entrance, so leave by 6:45 AM to beat crowds. Grab breakfast on the go and hit the park early.

Reviews from Google

This is a strange place. There is no front desk. You have to check in over your phone. The rooms are about the quality of the red roof Inn. They’re clean. They are minimally appointed there are no bugs in the bathroom is fine. The HVAC system is satisfactory I think it’s a good value for the money. The mattresses are very firm which I liked. I would stay here again, but again there are no frills reminds me of a red roof fan.

Great place to stay when visiting Yellowstone, even though it’s not on one of the main streets. Rooms were clean and well kept. It was also a lot cheaper than some of the other places that we looked at. The only downside is they do not offer any form of room service. Overall I highly recommend staying here if you visit Yellowstone.

I liked it here....great location to get into Yellowstone or a short walk to the main street of West Yellowstone. There is no front desk. Check in is on your own, which went smoothly for us. There is no cleaning service during your stay, which was fine. The rooms are small, but very clean. Just expect a comfortable place to lay your head and you will be fine. Would definitely book here again!
