Nice enough for an overnight, but not the most convenient possibly due to staffing shortages. The front desk closes at 5pm on weekends; while the lockbox arrangement worked for delivering the key and other information, the ice we needed to ice down my wife's sprained ankle was locked up in the reception area. We also weren't expecting a second floor room (see sprained ankle, above, and there was no way to ask for a ground floor room at that point), nor a mattress that seemed intent on rolling us into the center of the bed. The HVAC remote control was dead; "breakfast" was coffee and plastic-wrapped donuts. But the location was great (overlooking the Shoshone River and convenient for Yellowstone's East Entrance) and, as I said, overall it was OK for an overnight stop. Just set your expectations accordingly.

The propery owner said i would not be charged for my pet. And after staying there for 2 days they said they needed a deposit. A $200 deposit. That was explained to me would be refunded when we left. My dogs stayed in crates. Never went anywhere else. When I left they made up an excuse that I was smoking in the room. I dont smoke. It says they have a kids menu. They dont. Says pet friendly. But obviously not. Would not recommend to anyone. Go somewhere else.

Absolutely beautiful location. We had a room in the hotel building with a balcony overlooking a river. Great room in every way. We were there on a Monday and unfortunately the restaurant and saloon were not open so cannot comment on these. However it was a short and scenic drive into Cody for dinner, etc.

We arrived late at night after a long day of driving. We were told we couldn't get any ice because the front desk was closed. There are no food options nearby and it is basically in the middle of no where. It was a cute little stay for a night after being at Yellowstone Nat' Park.
