The Historic Madison Hotel Motel

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Beautifully decorated. Ceiling in room sagging some. A bit snug getting to our parking spot when larger vehicles parked by side. Enjoyed our stay and West Yellowstone.

This property would not be for a large family. Small room, old but quaint facility in the Hotel part which is over a gift shop. Motel section from outside looked kind of iffy, but really don’t know about interior. Parking for Hotel was on street but at the time we were there had ample parking right next to hotel. We liked the small quaint feel, but probably not for everyone. Our room had just a soak tub - no shower, however there were shared shower facilities on the floor which were clean and secure with locks. Lig canin feel once in room. No TV- we didnt care. Shared refrig and microwave area if needed but not in room. (no elevator 2 story. We didnt care)

Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Coffee and coco all day.

Parking was street parking only and the parking "designated" by the hotel was all taken because it was free street parking for many businesses. We were able to find parking but it was a walk with our luggage. Staff was efficient but dismissive. Could hear every conversation of neighboring rooms.

This is a historic hotel in the most authentic way. Built in 1912 it is not bright & cheery like our more modern hotels. Rooms are small. No microwave, refrigerator or TV. Needs some TLC. HOWEVER, if you want to stay in a place that has a great location, is very unique & interesting, clean rooms, good bed and very friendly people this is the place for you. I will always remember this place & would definitely stay there again.

Close to Yellowstone west entrance, easy walking to shops and restaurants. Old and tired, shared shower room, en suite toilet and tub.

We wished we could have stayed longer and enjoyed the hotel and the surrounding town. The lobby area is so fun and the gift shop is the best in town. We appreciated the hot water/coffee/tea/chocolate service, the ice, and the use of the refrigerator/freezer very much!! The restaurant next door, Timberline, was decent - salad bar and pies!! The little coffee stand was delicious and had huckleberry ice cream!

Close to downtown (walking distance), parking was very close to room, breakfast was good, room was clean, beds were comfortable.

Loved the free hot chocolate in several flavors! Friendly check in. Lots of choices of restaurants within a short distance. Close to Yellowstone.

Note that when selecting a room at the Madison Hotel, that choosing the tv and fridge option puts you in the motel portion of the property, in the back, next to an alley. The room was clean (most important), but very small and a bit rough. Parking is tight. If you're traveling in an RV, forget about it. Those use to marriott's will be disappointed, but the historic lobby is worth a look.

Room wasn’t too clean. The bathtub/shower was so slow to drain.

Friendly woman at check in. The room was very clean.

Easy check in and had a room out the back in the motel park. Room fairly small and had a musty smell carpet could do with cleaning or even replacing. Clean bedroom apart from the carpet and bed okay. Water mark on ceiling. Walls a little thin can hear snoring from next door. Coffee, ice and a small breakfast area. Yellowstone is expensive and so is this place.

Nice place . Stayed three nights did not clean rooms, but supplied fresh towels

The room overall was clean, but the carpet was filthy. There was no maid service during our 3-night stay. We had to put one bag on the table because of limited space in the room.

Clean room

The room was clean. Very close to entrance to Yellowstone.

I know this is a historic hotel but the men I walked in it was dark and dingy the red carpet on the floor look like it needed cleaning steam cleaning and had an odor. My room had a bathroom, but that room smell too carpets look dirty, and didn’t wanna walk, barefoot Would not stay there again

Very historical which was great but needs some deep cleaning. Spent 2 nights and bed wasn’t made for us on return from our day out on day 2 and had to request clean towels. We didn’t feel we should have to make that request at that price point of hotel rate. Breakfast was very good at restaurant next door.

Close to downtown (walking distance), parking was very close to room, breakfast was good, room was clean, beds were comfortable.

The location was convenient and it was great for walking around the city. The room was clean and although I could hear the conversations in the next room, it was quiet at night so it wasn't a big deal.

The motel is a little old, and water pressure is not great, but overall our stay was pleasant. We were happy to have a refrigerator in our room. Local restaurants are $$ so saving leftovers and ability to store cold cuts was a plus. Coffee was good, staff was super friendly and location to everything, including the park, was excellent. We were nervous when we first pulled up, but it was great. Be aware, I think some rooms share a bathroom, so make sure to read all the details. The motel room had bathrooms.

While clean and comfortable, it is primative at best. I had to ask for my room to be cleaned, very thin walls, no tv, some rooms had no bathrooms.

First impression was not very favorable. The facility actually worked out reasonably well. The room is very small with the sink in the bedroom and carpet needed freshening.

Parking was street parking only and the parking "designated" by the hotel was all taken because it was free street parking for many businesses. We were able to find parking but it was a walk with our luggage. Staff was efficient but dismissive. Could hear every conversation of neighboring rooms.

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Yellowstone National park. The hotel is very easy to find and the is plenty of free car parking on the streets around the hotel, we were lucky and got a space close to the hotels rear entrance. The rooms are quiet, comfortable and cosy (small).

No shower

The Madison Historical Hotel is a good value considering that accommodations in this area are generally expensive. I found the location, service, and room to be fair or even a good deal. Here are some details that may help those who want to consider every aspect before booking: • Noise: Sounds from outside carry easily. Since the parking lot is right in front, I could clearly hear cars and motorcycles, and even conversations if people were talking near the entrance. This was stressful in the morning. However, traffic from the road was not an issue due to the distance. • Front door lock: The door was very difficult to open. While this may indicate stronger security, it required using one hand to turn the key, another to handle the doorknob, and also pushing the door with my body. Returning with luggage made this inconvenient. • Air conditioning: The AC could not be turned off. Even after switching it off, it would restart automatically and cool the room again. I had to raise the temperature settings to reduce the cold, but the system sometimes reset itself and started cooling again, which was frustrating. • Shower: The shower head allowed adjustment of spray type and strength, but the overall water pressure was a little weak, which may be inconvenient for guests who prefer strong water flow. Despite these points, I had a very comfortable stay overall, and I still give this hotel the highest rating. Thank you very much for the hospitality.

Good location. The motel rooms are small. That would be ok but the bathroom needed to be refurbished. Didn’t see the lodge rooms

The owner Garrett was helpful friendly and professional. We will be back.

This was a terrific hotel! Manager made time to pick me up from the airport and drive me back, the rooms are classic, clean and have great historic touches, and the location is perfect for exploring the park.

The overall experience was a pleasure and the staff was super friendly.

Do not stay here! Great location and the gent that checked me in (white hair and beard) was great in every way. No one else was. One female said her family had owned the hotel since 1958 (job security?) be described by words not appropriate here. The second morning (departure) I saw a note stuck under my wiper to stay parked because they sealed the road. i showed her and asked why they had not told me. Note when we got back the prior afternoon the tour bus dropped us off at the front door. Initially she claimed no knowledge whatsoever and suggested I talk to the “boys in blue” across the street. They told me every business there had been informed. When I went back and told her she did not contest what I said but implied I was a dummy for not noting there was a sign at every street corner warning of this. So riddle me this, how did she go from knowing nothing to knowing there was a sign on every corner, “if only I knew how to read.” She continued to be combative and denying any responsibility to inform her customers throughout the rest of the conversation. This time she followed me out and commented why I was the only car there. There were other cars further down the block and a number of parking places not sealed visibly showing there had been a car there when the work was done. When I said that she said something like she sure hoped I learned how to read. As I left I said I would never be back and she replied ‘just go home.” A job/company dependent upon tourism behaves so?

It's historic. Living off that charm without actually being charming. Clean but not in great condition. Amenities lacking, as was breakfast (although a voucher was provided for use on a limited menu at cafe next door that did not have great reviews).Took 30 minutes to check in with no queue.

Both reception staff were very helpful. Made the most of our free USD10 vouchers for Timberline cafe next door. Best of all we received free tickets for the rodeo down the road which were planning to attend anyway - and enjoyed the show :-)

Conveniently located in the heart of W. Yellowstone. Very friendly staff and overall service.

This hotel is amazing and the owner is so friendly!!!

Let me first say, this is a below average motel, except for it's location. The rooms are small, lacks modern amenities, there's no breakfast, no way it justifies the $300+ per night charge. I've had better experiences in places that charge a third of this one. The person at the front desk, let himself into the room when I am out, that sounded very creepy and unsafe. Never would I stay at this place again.

Rude unprofessional old and unsafe and don’t like children with a lot of stupid rules.

The location was convenient and it was great for walking around the city. The room was clean and although I could hear the conversations in the next room, it was quiet at night so it wasn't a big deal.

It is easy to access to Yellowstone National Park. It is also convenient to buy souvenirs and go to the dinings.

While this property is very old the family owners have done a very good job keeping it clean, updated, and quiet. Our parking was just outside our room. WI-FI was fast and easy to connect our devices to. The area is very walkable with lots of shopping and dining options. The property also has a connected restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s location provides easy access to Yellowstone’s west entrance.

Perfect place to stay for visiting Yellowstone. Good proximity to everything and was surprisingly comfortable and quiet.

Quirky and fun place for a night. Good location near restaurants and coffee shops.

This was the first time I went to Yellowstone, it was the perfect hotel, right by the entrance of the park. Plenty of wonderful restaurants within walking distance. Our room was large, clean and the beds were very comfortable

Loved the free hot chocolate in several flavors! Friendly check in. Lots of choices of restaurants within a short distance. Close to Yellowstone.

Best location. Restaurants and shopping next door. Closest spot to west entrance of yellowstone. Also love the yellowstone museum across street.

The location and staff of this hotel are wonderful. We got a nice discount to restaurants and gift shop. We loved the convince on location.

Great location, walk to restaurants, shops, museums. Quaint and comfortable, great parking.

Great hotel for a quick accommodation while visiting Yellowstone. Centrally located in West Yellowstone and walking distance from most dinner spots.

Best west Yellowstone historical place to stay. They offer $$ off at the restaurant next door which is a great place for breakfast.

Very historical which was great but needs some deep cleaning. Spent 2 nights and bed wasn’t made for us on return from our day out on day 2 and had to request clean towels.
