This is an old Inn which was the first “upscale hotel” in West Yellowstone, circa 1940. Has lots to recommend it—the lobby area—which must’ve been recently refurbished—with fireplace, balcony staircase and massive taxidermy animals is impressive, and a very nice place to sit with a beer or carry out meal. (We did both.) There is also a nice small gym and an indoor pool, which we didn’t use.
Our room left something to be desired—very clean, but only two small scatter rugs on the floor, tacky formica desk and dresser and a bed platform that was made out of some sort of thin metal that was very noisy. The heat/AC unit was on all the time, or not at all—thermostat seemed to be malfunctioning. Bathroom tiny and fan was on all the time, even when light was shut off, so they “fixed” it to not run.
Breakfast was meh—same as all the other middle-priced places that offer breakfast.
All in all, the charming lobby and the convenience to the west Yellowstone park entrance made it well worth the stay, even with the mediocre room.
