Historic Hotel, downtown in Cody!
Pros:

Great old historic hotel, very quiet, kitchy, and a great experience. Wonderful staff, great location downtown in Cody. It's an experience dining in the restaurant; it feels very authentic, even the stuffed heads!

Cons:

It's old!

Pros:

We selected this hotel for its historical value and should be considered as such. The location was great, we could see the historical downtown streets from our windows, the glowing old style hotel and restaurant sign right by one of our room's 4 windows made us feel we were in a 1930's movie with the older shops and art deco theater across the street. It was a perfect setting for our two-day stay in this lovely town. We also enjoyed visiting the great Buffalo Bill Museum, just a short disctance from this lovely hotel. The restaurant was also excellent.

Superbe
Pros:

Le côté historique est vraiment exceptionnel. L’emplacement au cœur de la ville était parfait pour faire les magasins à pied. À notre arrivée, il ne trouvait pas notre réservation pour autant il a tout fait pour trouver une solution et nous a même surclasser de chambre. Séjour de 3 jours parfait

Pros:

Location was great. Easily walked to other shops/bars along main street. Loved the authentic bar and artifacts. The gunfight was fun, but took a little too long to get to the gunfight. Was worth the cost to stay in the old hotel.

Perfect Cody Accommodations
Pros:

The Irma is perfectly located and makes a perfect “home base” for exploring the Cody/Yellowstone area. There is always plenty to see and do and the rooms are like stepping back in time.

Cons:

Nothing!
