First, I want to mention that we were at this hotel in "high" season. Second, I want to mention that we thought the cost of this room was nothing less than "price gouging" even if it was "high" season. We paid in July a total of $375.00 for one night. Outrageous! We paid the same amount for a room in Manhattan, New York City. At least in New York we got an excellent free breakfast with our visit, it was steps from Penn Central Station, had a roof top bar with a glorious view, and handy to the subway. At the Holiday Inn West Yellowstone, there was no roof-top bar, no glorious view, drove our own car, and they said there was breakfast next door at a 20% discount. Really? For $375.00....no free breakfast? That was the icing on the cake after a long, hot day. Many will say...well, you accepted the price (over the phone) and it was in prime time. I agree, we did: 1.) thinking the other comparable hotels would be booked 2.) the town would be swamped with people searching for rooms. Neither was true by a long shot. It was our assumption error and it cost us. Do your homework and plan (if you can-which we couldn't) way in advance of arrival and search for deals less costly. This was a typical room and facility Holiday Inn offers countrywide, though, I believe, renovated. That said, the following is our observance: Location is excellent for entrance into Yellowstone at the west gate Large room Newly appointed decor and fixtures Window opened Fan in bath great air-conditioning Clean Plenty of parking in front of and in the back of the facility Bathroom on the small side Free ice cream treats in the afternoon Bed comfortable Walking distance to town and restaurants (other than the one next door) gas station near by Read less

Great hotel for families. The rooms are clean, very roomy, and nicely decorated. The beds and pillows were very comfortable.The lobby is beautiful and offers free fruit infused water, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Every day they offer free cookies and ice cream. The boys loved the game room! Every morning we ate breakfast at The Branch. It was very convenient and the food was very good and reasonably priced. A nice feature was being able to charge it to your room. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and offered good recommendations for restaurants within walking distance from the hotel. The Firehole BBQ restaurant was delicious, a must go to if you are in West a Yellowstone! The Slippery Otter was another great restaurant. Would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Yellowstone. Read less

This location is close to the entrance of Yellowstone National Park(within a 1/2 mile I think). A perfect location to enjoy the painted pots and the geysers. We could walk to dinner and shopping around town. The rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. We had some travel trouble on the way in and the staff helped us in every way they could. They were great. I would stay there again and highly recommended this location. Read less
