The Yellowstone Motel Is a prime place to stay for the north western side of the park. We were able to drive here from Billings in one day by way of the Beartooth Hwy. We were able to use it to move to the western end of the park. My wife and I agree this is how a hotel should be, solid beds none of the frills, just a solid clean room with a larger fridge than normal. The back patio is the place to be, there are webber grills and a picnic table we used to cook dinner. Also a place we set up our camp stove to cook breakfast the next morning. The patio overlooks the Yellowstone River, there are local elk in the area that gave us some close up views. Was a cool place to meet other people, share experiences and get ideas for seeing the park. Our only complaint is that we did not spend more time in this location.
