Clean room and decent staff and an okay breakfast. Rooms are big for a family of 4.
We had stayed in several hotels on our vacation from the Tetons up into Yellowstone. This hotel was the best. It was super clean and breakfast was great.
We had a room with the kitchen, it was well equipped, however, there was an odor in the suit, not sure if from kitchen or the carpet.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Very close to main street.
We only stayed one night but wished it was longer. We had a large room with 2 queens, sleeper sofa, large refrigerator/kitchenette/microwave/coffee pot. Beds were adequate and the sleeper sofa was pretty comfy. The kids used the pool and breakfast set up was great. The staff was friendly and personable. We were walking distance from all the shops. The kitchenette wasn't stocked with anything except a plastic bowl, which was fine since we didn't need anything. Other kitchen supplies may have been available upon request but we didn't ask. We had a great stay and would recommend it to other families. We have 4 kids and they enjoyed swimming and playing games at the dinette table in our room.
Location right outside Yellowstone entrance, walkable to downtown, excellent breakfast, clean room, comfortable bed, pool area clean, ample parking, friendly staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Everything by about our stay was excellent. Great restaurant recommendations from personnel when checked in, excellent housekeeping, clean and quiet room, high quality breakfast buffet, comfortable beds. I highly recommend this hotel!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Desert inn. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was full but parking was not a problem. Breakfast was typical fare but plentiful and way above average. Bed and pillows were very comfortable.
What we didn't like was that there was no wash basin in the toilet, so germs going on the door handle if you didn't wash your hands in the bath. The wash basin was actually in the bedroom. That was a problem for my wife trying to sleep while I was up early, lights on and shaving. Aside from that I would definitely recommend this hotel. Oh, and I forgot to say, it's very close to the park entrance.
