Great Motel within walking distance of Rodeo grounds. Great staff, check in was smooth, pool was fantastic and you can swim anytime. There was a gal giving kids a ride around on a golf cart with a mini horse and we enjoyed that. Sitting outside enjoying the view was also a plus. The garbage truck every morning at 530am is a little annoying but thats not the Motel's issue. Great stay and we will be back!!!

The motel was older but well maintained. The area was quiet. Our grandchildren had great fun in the pool. There were picnic tables outside so we had a snack out there. After supper the front desk person’s pony rode around the property in a golf cart to visit with the guests which was delightful. The kids were able to try roping the metal cow.

We were very satisfied with our stay at Big Bear Motel. The rooms are immaculate, and everyone is friendly and helpful. The pool is nice, and they have a nice playground area for kids. On a Sunday night we were there, they had a one-man band, a guy helping kids rope a wooden bull, and a Shetland pony who rode around in a golf cart in the outdoor area. Our sons are grown, but they would’ve loved it as kids. This is a great place to stay; hopefully, we get back to Cody and can stay there again. Great value!!!

Hotel provided an excellent affordable stay near Yellowstone. Hotel has a pool and laundry facilities. Staff friendly and efficient. Hotel has unique experiences including a horse and buggy ride and a singer who sang to the tenants in a nightly concert. Also 2 folding luggage racks in our room which even 5 Star Hotels do not provide more than 1. Overall, kudos overall.

While I was trying to sleep I kept feeling like I was getting bit by something. At one point I felt something crawling up my leg under my pj’s. It turns out I was being bit up by a flea that was in my bed. I know the motel is pet friendly, I did not bring a pet, but cleaning the rooms needs to be done more carefully.

Our room looked NOTHING like the photos. Mobile home walls, old furniture, and the room was very dirty. The floor turned our socks black. There was water damage on bathroom walls and floor, Filthy heat vent and air conditioner, rusty sink drain. Queen & Double bed - each pushed up against the walls, with barely any space to walk between them. One plug available in the outlet for both beds to share. One of the most expensive stays on our 6 day trip and the worst experience! No grass for dogs and no outside garbage can for their waste. All of the recent reviews are great so I assume those people got the rooms seen online that must’ve been recently remodeled. It seems very unfair that we paid the same price for our room. Be sure to call ahead and verify that you’re getting what you paid for.

Friendly staff. Clean cozy room although could do with a face lift as felt more tired than the other room that we stayed in the previous week. Small bathroom with the sink outside. Strangely the front door opened right into the sink area. Also, the A/C was on the wall, right above the bed. Finally, once again, the microwave oven was positioned right next to the sink, just like in the other room.

Good stay, especially if you have small kids. They offer pony rides around the huge property. Beautiful scenic cista can be seen if you walk around the property. Wifi is good around the office, but gets worse the farther you get from the office. We were in room 3 & the wifi was practically nonexistent. The "hot" water wasn't & the water pressure in the shower was lower than what i like. That being said, this was a good atay for 1 night & I would stay here again

Awesome breakfast across the street at the Our Place Cafe. Can't wait to get back to Cody!

This first room they put me in was so bad I would not stay in it. The second room was doable but nothing to brag about. Staff was not very helpful and This place is much closer to a 5 or 6 rating than 9. I am not being overly picky but where do these high ratings come from? I would suggest a different hotel when in Cody.
