PRO-Within walking to the shopping and restaurant area.
CON-Booked through Hotels.com, but paid for at hotel. The hotel charged $10.71 extra because I paid with a credit card. I always pay with a credit card and this has never happened before. And, the staff didn't tell me. Also, the frig and freezer did not work very well.

Hot water, clean room, would stay again
Clean room. Hot water. VERY close to west YS entrance. Bed is not great, could feel springs. But overall, would def stay again. Everything in the area is overpriced, but id stay here again for price vs other places in the area.

Was a older building but very clean and updated,staff was pleasant and helpful when needed. Full community room with a full kitchen so you can prepare your own meals. Needs a few more benches for sitting outside to enjoy the weather. Overall experience was a great stay.

There were four sturdy beds, and the four of us were able to stay comfortably. The shared kitchen had disposable plates and forks that we could use freely. We were also informed about the location of a laundromat a few blocks away.

My wife and I stayed here one night before heading into Yellowstone national park. It is conveniently close to the park entrance so we could get up early and not have to wait in line to get in. The surrounding areas have a lot of options for food, groceries, tourist shopping, etc. The room itself was spacious but appeared a bit on the simple side. That did not matter for us as we just needed a place to clean up and rest for the night. It suited our needs adequately.

Nice enough staff but key system was hit or miss. Door jam was so wide you could see daylight. Added a photo. I didn’t feel safe. Put luggage in front of door. A/C unit above sounded like a diesel engine.

Loved it! It will be way better than you expect.
This was a great motel room. I don’t usually stay motel inns, but there were limited options in the area. Plus they had a room that sleeps 8 in three separate rooms.
From the outside, it is rustic and noticeably from a mid 20th century era. But don’t judge a book by the cover. The inside has been very well maintained and updated. I would 100% stay here again. And you are in walking distance to many restaurants and grocery store.
The owners take great pride in this property and it shows.

We stayed in this place for 2 nights during our visit in Yellowstone National Park. The location is very convenient, close to the park entrance, supermarket around the corner, lots of dining and shopping options close by. Firehold Bar-B-Que has the best brisket and be there before 6pm as they sell out quickly.
Front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Our room is very spacious and clean. Queen size bed is comfortable and lots of pillows provided. The internet is good and other residents are quiet.
Accommodation around Yellowstone NP is very pricey. For what we paid we didn’t expect much.

Clean and friendly
Although the hotel is older, I don’t know if I’ve ever been in one cleaner. My child has a medical condition whereby I have to change his IV meds every few days. While at City Center I had to. When I cleaned off the table to put his medical stuff on it, there went one speck of dust, dirt etc. I was VERY impressed! The lady who checked us in was very friendly and I requested an additional towel another day and there were no questions asked, but service with a smile. I’d recommend this hotel and would stay again!
