Cons:

Extrem hellhörig. Keine Schalldämmung. Jede Aktivität im Nachbarzimmer oder auf dem Flur hörbar. Man hätte auch die Tür auflassen können...

Der Preis ist leider wie überall in West Yellowstone zu hoch.

considering the outrageous prices for accommodations, this was acceptable.
Pros:

BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT. From the photos, I expected the buildings to be newer, though the room was good. Curtains closed! Location was convenient. Not much interaction as we were in an outside building. Highlight was smoked salmon as part of the breakfast offerings.

Cons:

I expected a hotel and it was a motel.

Great base camp for exploring Yellowstone.
Pros:

Great location - minutes from the West Entrance to Yellowstone. Good breakfast -with variety each morning of our stay. . Although we only used it once, my kids enjoyed the pool.

Cons:

The first morning, I was up and in the shower before 6:30. The water was hot. However, the other days I was in the shower around 7:30 and, to say the water was lukewarm is being generous. Also, the walls are very thin. We could hear our neighbors as though they were in the same room.
