If you are in the area- stay here!
Pros:

Facilities were so well maintained, so clean, had nice mattresses and sheets. A true gem that we literally stumbled upon. I would recommend this place rumor anyone and everyone. The staff were helpful and everything we needed was right there. We had a great dinner at Connie’s without even having to leave the property and the breakfast in the morning had a ton of options.

Cons:

Nothing!

Good place to stay
Pros:

The location is close to Yellowstone (half-hour drive). The room is large and clean, and the beds are comfortable. The staff is nice and helpful. Breakfast is fine, but there isn't much variety from day to day. There is a coin-operated washer and dryer (tokens can be purchased at the front desk).

Cons:

Laundry cannot be done after 10:00 PM

Spacious, comfy rooms equipped with needs. Ammenities good but prep before c/i would’ve been nice.
Pros:

Liked breakfast (pancakes & hash browns) came with room price, inside pool and hot tub, comfy beds, spacious rooms stocked with enough towels and bath products for stay, game room. Nice property equipped with swings and pickleball court.

Cons:

Game room wasn’t ready to go, took a long time after getting help where we didn’t get enough time with closing at 10pm and gone all day out at the NP. The routers were not set up and all the games needed updating. Also, the pool heater was set too chilly to swim in. A few degrees higher would have made it bearable.

Decent experience
Pros:

Hot tub on patio, full kitchen, beds comfy, lots of towels, arcade, pool, breakfast.

Cons:

Exterior lights never turned off. No drapes to cover the sliding glass doors, the room stayed very bright during night. Elevator noise was very loud and stirred our kids. TV’s wouldn’t connect to Internet and we could not access smart features. Tile floor cleaner was sticky on our shoes.

Need some things buttoned up
Pros:

The location was nice. Mt Sawtelle is very pretty close. Also close to the grocery store was nice

Cons:

We were in a basement suite so we didn't have much of a view. The hot tub was private but there was no gate from the outside, just an opening and when we went to bed the first night we had a couple of men try to come in our sliding glass door. They were drunk and confused about where they were but it was unfortunate that it happened. I talked with one of the maintenance guys and he said he talked to them. But I don't know if he really did. The lady at the front desk was very nice. The breakfast was okay not great. The hall just outside our door had a terrible smell i think coming from the maintenance room. We also had workers come and check the hot tub at seven in the morning. Once again kind of startling us. We were only there for 2 nights. I don't understand why they wouldn't wait until we checked out or at least later in the day so you weren't disturbing guests. Other than that we had a nice time
