Tiny little town, comfy accommodation, nice and clean. Family Dollar right across. We stayed 4 nights to do 2 days in Yellowstone and 2 days in grand teton (both park still a bit far at 1.5 hr away), but accommodation great!

Room was advertized as a mini sweet, but was just 2 beds & a bathroom. It would have been nice if there was a table to sit and play cards at. Beds were a bit soft, but everything else was good.

Unfriendly staff, smelly room, outdated. Very expensive due to Yellowstone proximity. The « light breakfast » is a joke : it’s one coffee and a pouch of Quacker Oats. Please avoid !
