Overall exceeded expectations.
Pros:

Room was quiet, clean and comfortable. Staff was amazing. Buffet breakfast included was wonderful, fruit, eggs, sausage, bacon etc.

Cons:

Parking is first come first serve. Got in late one night and had to park across the street. Although inconvenient it was well lit and safe. Some roads in the area were not as well lit.

From the ‘get go’ to the great breakfast buffet, we were very happy we had chosen the White Buffalo Hotel! 👍🏻😀
Pros:

The #1 thing that definitely stands out for us is how nice, friendly, and accommodating the front desk employee was!! That, to us from the ‘get go’, always starts our stay ‘on the right foot’! She was so helpful! (Including when my husband needed some
Bandaids and antiseptic wipes for his ‘boo boo’! We liked everything about White Buffalo! Oh! And the very nice (and tasty!) breakfast buffet! 😉

Cons:

Can’t think of anything! 😀

Pros:

La posizione immediatamente all'uscita di yellostowe west

Cons:

La colazione, sia pure accettabile, era servita dopo le sette e non va bene per visitare il parco. Da migliorare la pulizia delle stanze. Prezzo molto alto rispetto alla media americana (200 dollari a notte).

Nice place with a great breakfast, but bring ear plugs.
Pros:

Location was fabulous! Very easy to find. Breakfast was better than most hotels that include a "continental" breakfast. This was actually warm and prepared for you. Very friendly staff serving it too.

Cons:

We arrived way earlier than we had expected and was told they could not check us in until 2:55pm which is only 5 minutes before check in time. While I understand that maybe our room wasn't ready, being told we could check in early by 5 minutes was not a great answer. It's not as quiet as other places I have stayed in. The person above the room was VERY LOUD and paced for hours which was very disturbing.

Overall not really a good hotel experience
Pros:

Breakfast was pretty good, staff were nice people.

Cons:

Air conditioning didn’t work well, exhaust fan in bathroom didn’t work so the hot humidity from a shower would get the room hot, bed not comfortable , no coffee maker in the room.

Don’t do it.
Pros:

This place could be great, but they spent all the money on lobby decor. The shower head was coming out of the wall because of some shockingly unskilled drywall work. Caulking was peeling or if it was there was moldy. The carpet must be 50 years old-we woke up with runny noses and sore throats-telltale old carpet pad allergens. Breakfast was good but needed to start an hour earlier-by 7 every guest was lined up out the door. We were happy there was a washer/dryer, but they only took quarters and they had no way to get change there. We won’t be back-we don’t recommend going there.

Convenient, clean and comfortable!
Pros:

Great location, clean. Used the guest laundry (bring quarters!). Easy trip into Yellowstone but you have to get thru the gate early (7am) or it gets backed up.

Cons:

Overall it was really good!
