Overview

About This Property

It's $104 to start and you’re in West Yellowstone, a stone’s throw from Yellowstone’s West Entrance. 66 rooms, free parking, a heated indoor pool, plus free WiFi and a limited continental breakfast—we take those. The West Yellowstone shuttle runs 7AM–11PM and the lobby coffee never quit; this base hits value without skimping on basics. Huge win for a park-side mission—we’re staking the night on the essentials and saving for the next adventure.

Your Morning Game Plan

Hit the lobby coffee early—it's a basic continental breakfast, but the caffeine helps. You're about 5–7 minutes from the West Entrance gate, so plan to leave around 6:20 AM to beat the first wave of traffic. If you want a smoother morning, book a room away from the elevator and depart by 6:30 AM.
