I give this a very high rating, not because it's a 5 star hotel, but because it is exactly what you need for a family visiting Yellowstone. Multi-room, rustic, cabin-type format provided privacy and a lot of space at a very good price. We stayed here first, and then in 4 other places during our Yellowstone visit (in Yellowstone, in...

We arrived in West Yellowstone with no reservations and needed a room for 2 nights in July. Well the choices were slim but we did find this place right near the entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The fence that seperates the park from the city of West Yellowstone was just across the street from our room. This room was far... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here on the last leg of our vacation. We stayed mostly at Motel six before this, so the bar wasnt terribly high. Single queen bed with nothing special was 80 bucks. Where to start . . . the key broke in the door, the door was an interior type door and only had the twist... More

We stayed 1 night. The room was very basic, with furnitures and decoration very 60's ! but clean, quiet, confortable, large room smelling fresh, which is important for me. Free wifi but no breakfast, No fridge, no microwave.

You get a clean bed, bathroom, tv and fan. Not much but it's the cheapest place in town (at $90/night) and you get a clean room. It's within walking distance of the main street, shopping and restaurants. The walls are paper-thin so take some ear plugs or sleeping pills to block the sounds of any noisey neighbors (ah, ah, ah...

This is the second time we have stayed at the Pony Express in the RV park. We came back because of the fond memories we have of the trip. We had out of state family with us and we brought our Great Dane, Sophie. We had advance reservations for a bus tour of Yellowstone for the whole family but when... More

You get a bed, a small tv with terrible reception and very few channels,( I want my ball games). The lighting is a joke, impossible to read or work puzzles. Price is expensive for what you get. Cannot in any good faith recommend this place.

If you want to look at Yellowstone by night from your hotel - choose Pony Express Motel Just across the street from the park. The hotel : Nothing fancy, but it's clean / no bugs. We stayed in the 2 bedroom unit. Nice large bathroom. Ice - can be collected over by Brandin' Iron hotel (where you check in). Not... More

This is a basic room, we paid just over 80.00 for two and it seams a little steep for what you get. Don't expect anything other than a small tv, old matress and thin pillows. No hidden gem here.
