“As a base for exploring Yellowstone, this motel's location can't be beat; it's extremely close to the park's west entrance and surrounded by West Yellowstone's restaurants and shops. While lacking in-room coffee makers, a partnership with a nearby gas station addresses that need and overall, it's a solid, conveniently located choice.”
