I liked the easy check in process! Though wasn’t a real check in, the host just texted me the code to get in the room. The door wasn’t secure when we arrived so that was a little strange. Room was decorated nicely.
Clean.

Tara looks sketchy but it’s not, just the looks.
Bed is super comfy. You won’t ever meet any staff as I never saw one person.
Don’t expect any morning service, but the bed is insanely comfortable. You are safe on that area

The room was fine, but much smaller and worse equipped than the pictures showed. This may have been pointed out in the listing and my error, but I booked in a hurry and didn’t realize the difference between the pictures and

The best "budget" hotel I've ever stayed at. It was clean, remodeled and had all amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There was even a little welcome present waiting for us upon arrival, some delicious local taffy.

The motel was nice, modern, newly updated. A coffee shop or breakfast facility on sight would have been nice. Overall, I would stay again!

Great little motel, very close to the West entrance of Yellowstone. Nice little kitchen was handy. Shower was a bit small but otherwise great base for seeing the park.

quiet place to stay, bed is a little small for two people. Breakfast isn’t on site, you have to drive to a different place to eat and they only provide a voucher of $10.95 per person, you still need to pay what’s over and tips.

Everything was good, the only suggestion would be to provide dishwasher and change bed sheets if people are staying more than a day or two.
