2 night Yellowstone trip
I would not stay here again. The walls were so thin we heard every cough and conversation from the room next to us which disrupted our sleep.

Fine, but noisy
Breakfast was bad. They had about eight types cereal, but none healthy. The motel was very noisy.

The number 1 thing this motel has going for it is location. We loved the location - close to Yellowstone, but not in the middle of town and crowds. The design of the hotel was inviting and the staff was amazing. Some issues: 1, the bathroom/sink was TINY! There was also no lid on the toilet - and no place to put clean clothes, glasses, phone, etc. except the back of the open toilet! I really recommend at least putting some wall/door hooks in there! 2, we really wished they’d offered a full breakfast instead of just a continental breakfast. We had to stop at McDonald’s for hot food two mornings of our trip.

The rooms are incredibly SMALL. It seems like they tried to do updates but didn’t go “all in”. The breakfast was a couple bagels and some cereal so if you were wanting a warm breakfast before hitting the park, I’d make other arrangements. I would not recommend and would not stay again.

The hotel just recently opened for the season and I believe they were working out the kinks. It did not have an elevator and we were on the 2nd floor with a good amount of luggage so it was a bit difficult. The ice machine wasn't working the first day we were there but the staff was great in trying to fix it for us. The toilet area in the room was built very small. The staff both at breakfast and the front desk were incredible. I just think that for the accomodations, it was a bit pricey. However, to be near the entrance of Yellowstone, you pay a premium.

Front desk help amber was amazing! Other than that it was very noisy, if you wanted to sleep past 6am it wasn’t going to happen since you could hear the microwave and waffle maker and every conversation anywhere. Overall the hotel was very noisy. The bathroom had hair all over. The eco friendly aspect of no room service if staying over a week was annoying I’d rather have them not clean if there for under 3 days or something and clean more if your there longer. Biggest complaint was the noise factor, multiple families heard a specific room come in every night around 11 and continue talking loudly until 1:30 and none of the staff helped keep them quiet until it was brought up what an incredible disturbance they were to so many other rooms. If quiet time starts at 10 the staff should be reminding people as they walk in how paper thin the walls are and that quiet time has started

The mountain Vista is a gem! Great staff, clean, excellent continental breakfast and ideally, for us, away from the downtown area. We found the quiet location just outside of town nice and also convenient.
