Cute, clean motel with very friendly staff. The bathroom set up was a little strange, large counter spaces, one sink, toilet very low to the ground, but nothing that we couldn’t handle.

We had room 8 and it was the cutest room ever! Two separate bedrooms, and a huge bathroom. There is now couch or lounge chair, but we didn’t need that as we were just staying one night passing through. Walked to the Mexican restaurant down the street for some great food! Staff was accommodating and friendly. The shower was wonderful!

The location offered great access to Yellowstone, and the bathroom was very clean. The room was well-equipped with essentials like a microwave, which was convenient. The price was reasonable, and the staff were friendly. The simple breakfast in the morning was also useful and enjoyable. Parking right in front of the room was very convenient. However, since each room’s entrance is directly exposed to the outdoors, bugs can easily appear. It might be a good idea to provide some bug spray for guests.

We weren't sure what to expect when we realized it's right on Main St. It suited our entire family of 7, everyone had their own bed!!! Family dollar right across the street for any miscellaneous items we needed. If we travel through this area every again, we will definitely be staying here again. 😊

It was a very nice place to stay overall. We were there for our family vacation to Yellowstone, and it was a good experience. The rooms were a little small, but it was very nice overall. They only have a small selection of muffins and fruit for breakfast, but there are a few restaurants in the area. There is a mini fridge in the room, and the grocery store is right around the corner and easily walkable.
