Nice property with clean and comfortable room. Helpful staff. Nice breakfast for size of location. Only oddity is that there is no onsite laundry, but they utilize the facilities of the KOA campground next door that can be busy at times.

The room was quiet, bed was comfortable. We loved the patio with the fire pit & a beautiful view of the mountains. The country store was handy. And being invited to have s’mores at the KOA was fun. We really appreciated the water bottle refill station. The lobby was cozy, the table helpful for the board games they offered. Highly recommend.

Got to the motel around 5:30. There was no one at the front desk. Waited about six minutes and another couple came, still no staff. I had to walk around the motel yelling trying to find someone. Eventually found someone with room staff who found the manager. He apologized and was friendly. Room was small and worn, but did have a view of the lake. Cobwebs in the bathroom. Not within walking distance of anything.

Overall the inn was good. Beds were pretty comfortable, however pillows were too firm for my liking. Another miss for us were no towel hooks to hang used bath towels since room service is not offered every day, and mo toilet seat cover. In an already very small bathroom with no place to hang things, we had clothing fall into the toilet trying to get ready. If those modifications were made to the room, it would be better.

The hotel is dated. The biggest issue is there is literally no sink area in the bathroom to put anything. Our room had no closet only a small rickety make shift wardrobe. The room was very small. It is a shame the West Yellowstone hotels are so expensive for what you get. Your a captive audience there and they can charge what they want it seems.

We liked the proximity to West Yellowstone and the entrance to Yellowstone. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable. We had a room with an adjoining door. We could hear our neighbors' TV and could even understand their conversations. Luckily they settled down around the time we did, but it felt quite intrusive.

Best mattress I've ever had in any hotel ever. It's a ways out of town but worth the drive. Nice and quiet with the campground far enough away. Only negative thing I could say is the bathroom. Why no lid on the toilet? No where to set your clothes while you shower. The sink was super hard to reach as well. Other than that? Great room!!!! Will stay there again if we're in town.

Overall this property is fine, because it's older. We just wished that during the recent renovation that the walls and doors could have been updated better for sounds. The walls seemed to be very thin, allowing way too much of the neighbors room and outside noises to come through, keeping us awake most of the night.

Our room and the public areas were super clean, I have never seen a cleaner laundry area! We will be sure to recommend to all our friends.

We had a bad experience with the bathroom condition. The tub was not draining properly and the water during shower and after shower wouldn't drain on its own. We had to press the knob of the drain till the water drained out which was taking a long time. We requested maintenance but the front desk didn't bother to fix the problem. As the tub was remaining dirty due to this issue we requested housekeeping but still they didn't bother. They said there was only one housekeeping person. Inspire of paying high rate we had to deal with a broken and dirty bathroom during our 4 day stay. I asked for the manager but the front desk said it was too late at night and she would inform the manager next day. But the manager didn't bother to call. I travel a lot but have rarely come across this kind of attitude towards customer. Very poor service.

It was terrible. When we first got there we asked for rooms close to each other and was asked if we booked through a 3rd party. When we said yes she said well that’s why and we can’t do that for you. We have always booked those Expedia and have never had a problem before. They put us on separate floors at the opposite ends of the building. She said you don’t need to be in your room anyway you can just sit outside together. She was incredibly rude. We checked out a day early because we could not stay there any longer. When I asked for a refund for the second night I was told that I needed to ask Expedia as they could do nothing for me. I have never been treated so rudely. I even got a call the next morning and when I said I was treated rudely I didn’t even have to give a name because the manager knew who I was talking about. Anyway needless to say will not be staying there again!!

During our stay the facility lost power overnight for approx. 7 hours and all kinds of bells, alarms & appliances were going off. Temperature became unbearable. Hotel staff was advised of our complaint prior to check out & assured a refund. 7 calls were made to Orbitz and the GM and assistant GM who never had the decency to call back even after we were assured we would get a refund as a result of our inconvenience. This hotel clearly doesn’t value their customers, and I would never stay there again in the future.

I’ve been traveling 3 straight weeks and have probably stayed in 15 different hotels in that time. I have NEVER stayed in a more unfriendly, poor customer service hotel. Checked in. Hardly a greeting, no conversation, didn’t even tell us about breakfast. Coke machine took $2.25…nope, we can’t help you, and we won’t put a note on the machine so it doesn’t take others money, too. Laundry was unavailable. Checking out- just look at me, take the key and say nothing at all?!! The front desk staff in the evening AND morning act like your business is a nuisance. So they won’t be getting mine anymore.

This hotel near a horse ranch and backdropped by mountains was a pleasant and affordable setting for our week at Yellowstone. The drive to Yellowstone's west gate was about 10 minutes away and went through a small resort town that offered all the necessary amenities and good dining and shopping. A leather chair in the hotel's beautifully decorated lobby was where I snuggled in each evening to process photos from the day's adventures. The staff members were a delight to talk to and had intimate knowledge of the area. I loved the cinnamon rolls and my husband enjoyed the waffle maker at breakfast.

We stayed at Mountain Vista Hotel in West Yellowstone and found it to be a great spot for our trip. The hotel is conveniently located about 10 minutes outside of town, making it easy to access Yellowstone Park. Everything was clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The rooms and bathrooms were a bit on the small side, but since we spent most of our time exploring the park, it was perfectly fine for a place to sleep. The only challenge was that the hotel is a little hard to spot from the road, especially after dark, so keep an eye out for the turn. Overall, a good, simple stay for park visitors.
