Cleanliness
8.5
Mostly praised as clean in many reviews, though a few guests reported smells, a suite that didn’t seem very clean, and an incident with housekeeping entering early.
Service
9.3
Generally described as pleasant and helpful (friendly check-in staff, quick TV fix), but there are isolated reports of rudeness, slow check-in, and an instance of unhelpful staff during a noise complaint.
Location
10
Consistently highlighted as excellent — right near the West Entrance to Yellowstone and ideal for park access.
Room Quality
9.5
Rooms are frequently called cozy, comfortable, well-decorated (bear-themed), and spacious with good options (bunks, jacuzzi suites); some bathrooms and fixtures noted as dated.
Amenities
8.4
Dog-friendly, jacuzzi and parking praised; pool was mentioned as too cold for use in one report and breakfast seating/area can be crowded.
Value for Money
7.5
Several guests felt the price was high for what was delivered (one said suite/jacuzzi not worth price); mixed perception of value.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Breakfast opinions vary from 'great' to 'could be better' or 'subpar for the price'; some guests wanted earlier breakfast hours.
Overall Experience
9.4
Overall positive stays for most guests—ideal location, comfortable rooms and friendly staff—though a few serious negative incidents and some service/cleanliness notes temper the experience.

Loved our room!
Pros:

Great location right near the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park.
Super cozy and comfortable room. Loved the bear themed furniture and decor!
Also very dog-friendly! We even got a little goodie bag for our dog.

Cons:

I think the breakfast definitely has room for improvement and check-in could have been smoother/quicker
