Main hotel not as advertised. Very old and run down. Very difficult to understand the woman that checked us in. We were put in one of the units in the back of the hotel parking lot. It was very old and run down. The heater was very old and ran poorly.

Nice place.

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Beautifully decorated. Ceiling in room sagging some. A bit snug getting to our parking spot when larger vehicles parked by side. Enjoyed our stay and West Yellowstone.

I did not want to do any driving on this vacation. This property is close to everything that I wanted to see and do. The Yellowstone tour buses pick up here and the staff will also shuttle you to and from the airport. I was able to walk to: Yellowstone's entrance, gift shops, the visitor's center, historic museum and restaurants. The staff was just great and I liked my room. Two dislikes that are very much "fixable" - Im suggesting hair nets for the cleaning staff (long brown hairs on my blanket) and please, please clean the rug (footprints and stains everywhere)

It appears that most of the rooms, including ours, are located in old, cheap, thin-walled single story poor old motel-style units. Nothing that even begins to match the on- line description. The desk is in a historic building and has a nice small lounge area, but that’s it. We were there 2 nights- 2 people- and they only gave us 2 $10 off coupons rather than 4. Very expensive and not worth ir

While this property is very old the family owners have done a very good job keeping it clean, updated, and quiet. Our parking was just outside our room. WI-FI was fast and easy to connect our devices to. The area is very walkable with lots of shopping and dining options. The property also has a connected restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s location provides easy access to Yellowstone’s west entrance.

The Madison Historical Hotel is a good value considering that accommodations in this area are generally expensive. I found the location, service, and room to be fair or even a good deal. Here are some details that may help those who want to consider every aspect before booking: • Noise: Sounds from outside carry easily. Since the parking lot is right in front, I could clearly hear cars and motorcycles, and even conversations if people were talking near the entrance. This was stressful in the morning. However, traffic from the road was not an issue due to the distance. • Front door lock: The door was very difficult to open. While this may indicate stronger security, it required using one hand to turn the key, another to handle the doorknob, and also pushing the door with my body. Returning with luggage made this inconvenient. • Air conditioning: The AC could not be turned off. Even after switching it off, it would restart automatically and cool the room again. I had to raise the temperature settings to reduce the cold, but the system sometimes reset itself and started cooling again, which was frustrating. • Shower: The shower head allowed adjustment of spray type and strength, but the overall water pressure was a little weak, which may be inconvenient for guests who prefer strong water flow. Despite these points, I had a very comfortable stay overall, and I still give this hotel the highest rating. Thank you very much for the hospitality.

Super helpful reception staff

Both reception staff were very helpful. Made the most of our free USD10 vouchers for Timberline cafe next door. Best of all we received free tickets for the rodeo down the road which were planning to attend anyway - and enjoyed the show :-)
