Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a rustic charm with nice rooms but falls short of justifying the 'resort' price tag. The location is ideal for exploring the Tetons and Yellowstone Parks, although the rooms had a lingering dog fur smell.
The hotel offered nice rooms for the price but had difficulty regulating the temperature. It had a musky odor due to old carpet on the first floor. The service was very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, close to Grand Teton National Park. The dining experience was top-notch despite being slightly salty at the grill.
The hotel gave me a mix of experiences - the rooms were cozy and quiet, providing a good rest, but cleanliness could be better. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist. The location was ideal for exploring nearby national parks, yet the mandatory 20% tip requirement was a downside. Dining options were limited, but luckily I had a pleasant breakfast made by a staff member. Facilities were satisfactory overall.
