Staff was very friendly, but could improve on quality of facilities.
Pros:

Breakfast was great!

Cons:

Faucet on sink was loose.

Quality of mattress on bed wasn’t what I expected, very firm.

Door didn’t unlock had to move to a different room, which was upstairs instead of on main floor.

Pros:

Front lobby was cute, an our room was decorated nicely & clean. Housekeeping did a wonderful job straightening up the room on day two of our stay. The location was close to downtown attractions & Yellowstone park entrance.

Cons:

We arrived at approximately 6:30pm & there was nobody at the front desk. We waited around 15 minutes for someone as there was no button to ring for service. Our room was on the second floor & we had to carry our luggage up a narrow staircase. The carpets in the lobby & hall looked like they needed vacuuming both days of our stay. Our room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke & we frequently opened the window, ran the bathroom fan & sprayed perfume during the limited time we were in the room. In the room, carpets were old & damaged, mattresses were clearly old, and tiles along to bottom of tub surround were caving in & not repaired properly. Parking was often full with large vans & busses so we ended up parking around the block on several occasions. We did not see any staff outside of our initial check in experience so front desk service needs improvement & the facilities definitely need updating & repairs.

Good staff but old building
Pros:

My booking thru booking.com did not process well. I had booked a handicap room but was given a room on the second floor with no elevator. The staff worked hard to get me a room on the 1st floor. Breakfast was great.

It was reasonably priced, great, included breakfast but not a comfortable bed.
Pros:

The hotel was located very close to the Yellowstone west entry. The breakfast was wonderful every day.

Cons:

On street parking was limited. There is no elevator so pack light, and the beds were rock hard, so pack a sleeping pad. Would I stay again probably not because the bed was so uncomfortable.
