What guests think

At Best Western Sunset Inn, travelers consistently note very clean, comfortable rooms, friendly and accommodating staff, and a popular complimentary breakfast—often highlighting the made-to-order pancakes—along with family-friendly amenities like indoor and outdoor pools, hot tub, playground, and easy parking.

The location is convenient for Cody attractions such as the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, the rodeo, and downtown, and many appreciate the quiet, drive-up, single-story layout. Drawbacks mentioned across reviews include an older, sometimes dated feel, some small or dim rooms, a frequently crowded breakfast area, and occasional issues like carpet cleanliness, musty odors, or seasonal/out-of-order outdoor pool. Overall, expect a clean, friendly, family-oriented motor-lodge stay with strong amenities and a few age-related trade-offs.

My family enjoyed staying here. Everything was very nice. I liked having two vanity areas and room for all our stuff. It was nice to be able to park right outside our door. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub.

We visited late in the season, so the outdoor pool was closed. The indoor pool area was wonderful, we enjoyed it thoroughly. I'm now a believer that every hotel should have an outdoor playground! It was a great way for the kids to run off energy after travelling! The room was comfortable.

Big property - spread out. Exterior may look dated--- but the rooms were nice and clean. Spacious. Depending upon where you end up, it may be a bit of a hike to the front office for breakfast.

Love this hotel! Walking distance to the Buffalo Bill Museum and the main street in Cody. Had a beautiful pool and hot tub indoors and and outdoors. They accommodated us as we were hauling a trailer with two motorcycles. Excellent breakfast in the morning very clean super location.

My family and I were on our summer vacation -- where we were exploring Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, and the surrounding areas. This Best Western was our second favorite hotel. We LOVED that we were on parking lot level were we did not need to climb any steps or take any elevators. This hotel had the BEST breakfast of all the hotels we stayed in. My kids ate more for breakfast here then they did for three days. Fantastic breakfast offerings and service. The outdoor and indoor pools were great. The pool towels were a little small but we loved our pool time and options. My one point of "opportunity" was the hotel room carpet. I look my shoes and socks off and within minutes of walking around, the bottom of my feet were black from the dirty carpeting. This was a huge turnoff. Overall, this was one of our best hotels we stayed in throughout vacation.

I've stayed in worse. Overall, the hotel was ok. The indoor pool and hot tub were warm and the kids loved it. The outdoor pool was drained even though it was the end of June and 95 degrees out. The room was smaller than expected and kind of dingy. They obviously painted to try to clean it up. The beds were nice and clean. The carpet, walls, and bathroom sink were not very clean. There was dirt and hair and little pieces of garbage on the floor and toothpaste in the sink. If we ever stay in Cody again, we will try a different hotel.

This is a lovely property - mostly one-story units, which is nice because there is no one above you or below you. We were in Cody (a great little town), with another couple for 2 nights. The room was very spacious, super clean, and very comfortable. Beds were nice and we slept well. Room had a refrigerator and microwave. The breakfast was quite nice....eggs & bacon the first morning, and eggs & sausage the second morning. Also, fresh fruit, pastry, bagels, yogurts, cereals, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. This hotel is very close to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West (a MUST see), and not far from eating options. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, however, be aware that booking is non-refundable.

The room was great but the breakfast left something to be desired. They promote pancakes on the terrace every morning so we tried that. Evidently the warmer was not working as they were cold. The next day we are in the normal breakfast room and all the "hot food" was cold. All the French toast, eggs and omelettes were cold. Ate breakfast elsewhere the rest of the trip.
