10/10 Excellent

"Our stay in West Yellowstone was great. The location was great, the restaurant attached to the hotel was fantastic. All the food was delicious. The room was wonderful. We used the washer and dryer as we stayed for 7 nights, machines were kept up and clean. They have a nice pool and hot tub (although we didn’t use it). Our only gripe is the younger gentleman that they had working the front desk was very short worded and quite frankly rather rude…. That being said all other the other employees were great… ESPECIALLY the older gentleman that worked early in the morning! I’m sure we’ll stay here again next year."
