We called because we would be arriving after the 11pm check-in deadline, and the gal at the front desk offered to stay until we made it through the snow storm we were driving in. The breakfast was great. The room was clean. The hotel is showing some age, but it was what we were looking for when we chose this stay due to the lower price compared to others near by.

Close to Yellowstone National Park. Parking at the hotel was easily accessible. Breakfast buffet at the hotel was included with the cost of each room. Hotel is within walking distance of numerous places for lunch & dinner. Rooms were clean & spacious. However it would have been nice if there had been a grab bar next to the toilet as it was very low. Toilet would have been suitable for a young child not an adult.

This is an old hotel. It is maintained, but very, very dated and you can hear everything above and beside you. The bed was like sleeping on a trampoline and the linens were itchy. There was no hair conditioner provided. The hotel hosts tour busses of overseas tourists who yell down the hallways to each other late into the night and early in the morning. When I peeked out the door and asked them to keep their voices down, they just stared at me and continued to shout to each other (did not understand English). The breakfast crew was wonderful - friendly and the food was good.

The condition of the hotel, for the price we paid, was not very good. The floors squeaked loudly, when the guest/s in the room above woke at 4am it woke me up. I could hear every step. The bed was spongy, the pillows were not very comfortable. The shower arm was rusty, the carpets were spotted. There was not even a bottle of water in the room. Staff was friendly and the location is amazing, but it is a $100 per night motel, not worth the $315/ night that we paid.
