Hello. The front desk is open until 8:30 Tues-Sat. Prior to closing, everyone who has not checked in is texted a box number and security code to access your map (with wifi information on the bottom right) and key.Sorry you had any inconvenience.

The deadbolt lock on the front door was broken. The window coverings did not completely cover the window or the patio door so did not have a lot of privacy. Staff was rude when I checked in. They did help me put air in two of my tires so I could get back on the road. Had to check in by 6:00 pm which was inconvenient.

Sorry for any inconvenience. I will look into the short drapes. Due to low staffing and occupancy due to a slow economy, we are not a 24 hour front desk. We make every effort for guests to check in 24 hours a day by use of our security boxes which are accessible 24 hours.

What a great find for us. The cabin was great and the bathroom was spacious. The staff was friendly and it really served our purpose. I would absolutely recommend the Yellowstone Valley Inn to anyone looking for a place to stay by the park.

The place was beautiful. The cat was friendly. The bed was comfortable. The e-mail said to call ahead if you were arriving late to get a lockbox number. I did call twice and both times they said they would send a text or email with info. Both times there was no customer service. You can't get service in the park to receive a text or e-mail. Got hung up on once when i was going to ask more questions. We had to cut our trip in the park short to get there before they closed.

This property is well built and modern, but in a rustic style. It is located in a remote area where you can see wild animals, farm animals, and birds. The night sky is unlike anything I have experienced in Boston. It’s actually full of stars. Other than a couple of flood lights there is no light pollution whatsoever

20 minutes to east Yellowstone entrance. We were pleasantly surprised at how pretty and quaint the little cabin is. Having never stayed in a place like that before it was such a delight. Clean, pretty, quiet and quaint. While the property was lovely, there was no free breakfast (which was advertised) and no breakfast at all most days. We ate at the lodge only one night because it was really awful. The staff were not openly hostile but one can tell when people are not happy, additionally we could hear staff complaining about the job. My experience says this is usually the result of poor management, not poor employees.

It’s a very well maintained property. Be sure you take food if you’ll be there on Sunday or Monday. Their restaurant is only open from Tuesday to Saturday 5:30 p.m. to 9 p. m. There are numerous charcoal grills on the property. Their dinner menu is small but delicious. 30 miles back to Cody for restaurants. The amenities were nice.

You have been blocked from any future reservations at our resort as you disregarded the Non Smoking sign on the door and smoked in the cabin for the multiple days you were there. It took 2 days to clear out the smell and the room had to be blocked during this cleaning.All amenities on site are up and operational including: store, coffee bar, bar, restaurant, laundry room, gym, pool, and hot tub. Wifi has been slower as other guests are streaming and uploading pictures, over 100 plus users at any given time.

This is a very family oriented property. We stayed at the campground in 1989 with our sons, in 2005 with our oldest grandson and in 2023 at the Inn with our 5th grandchild. The owner greeted us and was very friendly, especially to our granddaughter. The room was excellent with a backdoor view as beautiful as the front! The room was very clean, breakfast and dinner options were great. Definitely would recommend Yellowstone Valley Inn to anyone visiting the area!

Quiet and conveniently located. We arrived at 5pm and the front desk staff was already closing. She said the wi-fi was poor which was not true, it was non-existent! Very inconvenient as I needed to work from my compuyer and had to drive into Cody every night to use Walmart wi-fi.

Very good experience
Our stay was really nice and enjoyable! We we're blown away by the balcony view and the views of property. The customer service was excellent. Everyone was so polite and helpful and wore smiles the whole time. I know they have staffing problems in the past but we we're really grateful to show up and have the staff available for everything that was offered. The front desk helped anytime we needed anything. The breakfast options we're ok. My sons boiled eggs we're not good but he threw them away before telling me and letting me take them to get exchanged for better ones. The coffee options we're excellent. We didn't take avantage of dinner. My children enjoyed the hot tub. I liked that the property has fire pits for you to use their wood at their cost anytime. The only things that would have been better was the smell of the rooms we're funky somehow. We had to open doors and air it out. We had two rooms. One was suppose to come with a mountain view and it only had tiny windows. That was really disappointing especially after seeing our other room with a balcony view and the other rooms that we're available that they didn't give us. The laundry was really pricey. After being at another hotel and them charging $1 to $2 for loads and being charged $4 a load here that was really a kick in the gut. Lastly, the balcony flooring really needs to be fixed. It was very unsafe and I was afraid we would have an accident. I brought it up to the staff.
