Meet expectations for price and would recommend to others and stay again.
Pros:

Room was clean, bed was comfortable, spacious, and a fridge in the room.

Cons:

A coffee maker in the room would have been nice, however, coffee was available down the hall and in the breakfast area.

Fantastic- wish we could have stayed longer!
Pros:

Beautiful new build. Rooms were spacious, beds extremely comfortable. Bathroom was huge and had EXTRA towels! The breakfast was good for complimentary and they had a soda pop machine at breakfast! Wish we had been able to stay more nights . Also- super convenient to Connie’s restaurant which was delicious!

Cons:

Overall the property was fabulous. If I had to come up with any improvements, I’d recommend night lights because the rooms get nice and dark, but they are huge so it can be tough to navigate to the bathroom in the dark. Also, the tub floor was a little slippery.

Enjoyed the Sawtelle and would stay here again!
Pros:

The location was perfect for our weekend. There was ample parking and the room was a good size. There was plenty of room for three of us to spread out. It was clean overall, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the beds were comfortable.

Cons:

The room smelled a bit damp when we walked in, musty almost. We kept the window cracked all weekend to let it air out. The bathroom stayed pretty damp after showering even with the fan, and there was a bit of mold in the tub. Wondering if there was a leak somewhere in our room causing all the dampness and mold. We also pulled out a couple towels that had dirt marks on them like they had been on the floor.

Einmal ok. Zweites Mal, nein danke.
Pros:

Gute Lage
schöne Zimmer

Cons:

Viel zu teuer. Zimmer sind schön aber eben nicht mehr als 3 Sterne Hotel. Für die Lage 100% Aufschlag.
Viel zu überteuert diese Gegend.

Excelente para visitar Yellowstone pero con muchas opciones si decides o tienes que pasar el dia en
Pros:

Tiene de todo, picina, jacuzzi, cancha de tennis, sala de juegos con juegos de mesa, tv, nintendo, xbox, arcades, etc. Buen desayuno, en octubre hay bastantes huespedes asi que tal vez esté un poco lleno el lugar a la hora del desayuno.

Cons:

No hay opcion de cena en el mismo hotel, solo vendings machines y candy bar, pero te dejan info de los.lugares cercanos (uno literalmente cruzando la calle).
