At Sawtelle Mountain Resort, travelers highlight very clean, spacious, modern rooms and family friendly amenities like an indoor pool, hot tubs, and a game room, making it a comfortable base for visits to Yellowstone.
The free hot breakfast earns frequent praise, though several guests found it repetitive or underwhelming. The location is a quiet, scenic 20–30 minute drive to West Yellowstone, with basic stores nearby but limited late-night dining. Staff are usually friendly and helpful, though a few reported unwelcoming interactions, occasional maintenance issues (pool temperature or clarity, hot tub jets, fitness gear), and some noise from neighboring rooms. Expect a clean, comfortable stay suited to families visiting the park.

They rented E-bikes, so we took a real nice ride through a beautiful pine forest. The staff was always very helpful. The Resort was clean and well maintained, except for the elevator that didn't work for a couple days. Fortunately, there’s only 2 floors. A very nice place to stay outside of West Yellowstone.

Highly recommend if you are a family needing a place to stay to visit Yellowstone. Very short drive to get into Yellowstone and see the major sites. Good breakfast too with some great hot chocolate. And the staff was fantastic!!! Great manager and very friendly staff.

The pool was fairly large (hot tub was small). They had a game room with free arcade games, video pinball, an xbox, and a switch, as well as board games. There was also a small library. The breakfast room was very nice, large with lots of seating, and a good selection of food that was kept well stocked.

Rooms are beautiful, spacious. Hotel is very nice. Unfortunately the hot tub was broken while we were there and the pool was very cold so we were not able to make full use of the amenities (they still charged the amenities fee which under the circumstances should have been waved). It's out in the middle of nowhere but we knew that going in. We would stay again. Overall good stay.

It is 30 mins away from Yellowstone. The staff are not welcoming. The lobby closes at 10 pm with no staff to help you. They close the main lobby. No coffee or any hot tea available except on breakfast. Breakfast is served at 7-10 but before that the lobby is close. You pay for resort fee but there are no amenities that would be considered as a resort. The pool is murky blue, you can’t see the bottom, the hot tub doesn’t have the jet, so you only dip for the hot tub. The game consoles doesn’t work. Like I said the resort fee doesn’t justify what they have.

Overall I liked the hotel. We had an issue with the location of our Suite. All the suites are in the basement. 2 of them including ours called 'Big Springs' is located alongside the elevator and is VERY NOISY. The suite on the other side of the elevator had a control room next t their door that made SO MUCH NOISE. Our room had several issues. aside from the noise: the kickplate from the fridge was laying on the floor and dangerous when we walked in, they tried to fix it but couldn't, so I put in on the fridge, the smoke detector was hanging 6 inches from the ceiling from a wire-I have a pic, oh yeah-THERE WAS A HAIR ON THE ROOM LOTION BOTTLE when we checked in -GROSS!!!!, and one of our pots had caked egg in the pan. Breakfast is ok. Lots of fake chunky eggs, undercooked and greasy hashbrowns, subpar cheap bagels, and a pancake machine that takes forever.

This location far exceeded any of our expectations. While there were tells that the building was decades old, it was renovated new and had all the comforts I would expect from a two year old resort. As our stay was during a heavy snowfall that kept us indoors for a while, the kids were able to swim in the indoor pool and use the game room that was fully stocked with arcade games, a Nintendo Switch, board games, etc. The breakfast, advertised as a “continental”, was much more than muffins and cereal and included hot eggs, biscuits, sausage and a pancake maker. The only complaint was that the shower, which was a fully tiled shower with faux wood ceramic tile, had a lot of algae the Sam color of the tile that had grown in the grout and wasn’t noticeable until it was wet. I pointed this out to the front desk and they promptly took note of it with a promise to let the staff know to watch for it and get it cleaned up through the whole resort.

The grounds are superb, great staff, good breakfasts. Rooms were very clean and are was very nice. If you want an adventure, drive up Sawtelle mountain,,,,,

The hotel looked great and was very clean. It was a bit of a drive from Yellowstone but also much cheaper than staying in West Yellowstone. It had hot breakfast with eggs, sausage, and pancakes, as well as cold items. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Overall everything was great. The only negative was the kid in the room above us kept running back and forth which we could hear clearly in our 1st floor room.

And our room/building key would randomly stop working and we would have to have it reset. All a little frustrating for the proce we paid to stay. Not enough to stop us from staying there again.

No coffee or any hot tea available except on breakfast. Breakfast is served at 7-10 but before that the lobby is close. You pay for resort fee but there are no amenities that would be considered as a resort. The pool is murky blue, you can’t see the bottom, the hot tub doesn’t have the jet, so you only dip for the hot tub. The game consoles doesn’t work. Like I said the resort fee doesn’t justify what they have.

Location
Quiet, scenic setting about 20–30 minutes from West Yellowstone; convenient for park visits without the in-town crowds. Basic services are nearby, but dining options can be limited and may close early.

It is a great place to stay if you visit Yellowstone, 20-30 minutes drive to the park with better relaxing stay.

Visiting W. Yellowstone, I looked for a place that had great reviews and reasonably priced. This was a great find! About 25-30 minutes from the West Entrance, the cozy, very spacious, rustic room was very comfortable with all the amenities i.e. microwave, mini fridge, desk etc. The bathroom was a nice size with a large countertop and tile floors. Breakfast was included, which was one of the reasons I booked here as well, since we were only staying one night. Theresa is a gem and had great information about the surrounding area. If you have time, check out Mesa Falls, which was a suggestion from Theresa! Not much to choose from to eat, and bc it's farther out, the wait time to eat was about an hour, so go early and BE PATIENT. We ate at Connies across the parking lot. Pretty good food, but very convenient !

We spent 3 nights at Sawtelle as part of a trip to Yellowstone. It is located about 30 minutes from the west entrance, which was just right to avoid the tourist traffic. The property is in excellent condition, and although somewhat rural,is located near gas, groceries and restaurants. The free hot breakfast got each day off to a good start. We would definitely stay here again!

The hotel looked great and was very clean. It was a bit of a drive from Yellowstone but also much cheaper than staying in West Yellowstone. It had hot breakfast with eggs, sausage, and pancakes, as well as cold items. Our room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Overall everything was great. The only negative was the kid in the room above us kept running back and forth which we could hear clearly in our 1st floor room.

The Hotel is a unknown treasure. If it was in west yellowstone it would draw $600 a night. The drive is a easy one to yellowstone west entrance 20-30 minutes. The grounds are superb, great staff, good breakfasts. Rooms were very clean and are was very nice. If you want an adventure, drive up Sawtelle mountain,,,,,

Dining
Complimentary hot breakfast is often appreciated for variety and convenience, though several guests found it repetitive, mediocre, or lacking healthier options. Nearby dining is limited and frequently closes early, especially in the off-season.

Breakfast was terrible. Ice machine broken so had to buy ice from them daily. For the cost of the stay I was definitely expecting more. Next time it’ll be an air b&b.

Over priced for what they offer. Breakfast was a joke, same junk every morning. Nothing to do after 9pm, all stores and restaurants are closing at 9pm. Too far away from West Yellowstone entrance, take 25-30 minutes to get there.

Loved the theme of this lodge, Montana style and decor. The room was large which was a surprise. Overall a very nice place to stay. My only suggestion would be to have more “ healthy” choices for breakfast. Although the fact that breakfast was free was a bonus!!

Breakfast needs more variety. Scrambled eggs and over cooked, dried out sausages every morning. In the room, there was no coffee machine or iron. Island park doesn’t have many options to dine out in late Sept early Oct. Be prepared, and bring food. Also, hotel charges resort fees when you arrive.

This location far exceeded any of our expectations. While there were tells that the building was decades old, it was renovated new and had all the comforts I would expect from a two year old resort. As our stay was during a heavy snowfall that kept us indoors for a while, the kids were able to swim in the indoor pool and use the game room that was fully stocked with arcade games, a Nintendo Switch, board games, etc. The breakfast, advertised as a “continental”, was much more than muffins and cereal and included hot eggs, biscuits, sausage and a pancake maker. The only complaint was that the shower, which was a fully tiled shower with faux wood ceramic tile, had a lot of algae the Sam color of the tile that had grown in the grout and wasn’t noticeable until it was wet. I pointed this out to the front desk and they promptly took note of it with a promise to let the staff know to watch for it and get it cleaned up through the whole resort.
