A bustling tourist town bordering Yellowstone National Park, West Yellowstone bustles in the summer season but is also world famous for winter snowmobiling and cross country skiing in and near Yellowstone, as well as snowcoaching in the Park. Located at the Park’s west entrance, the town offers many hotels. During the summer, more visitors stay in West Yellowstone’s lodging accommodations than any other location in the Yellowstone region. In addition to hotels and lodges, the town features a number of camping and RV parks.
Choose from the following lodging properties:
Alpine Motel
“… small … clean and quite private …”
We stayed at the Alpine Motel in West Yellowstone. It is small, not modern like the motel chains but clean and quite private. The rooms are small, as is the bathroom but they are adequate. There is no lounge. TV, Refrigerator and microwave is supplied, but coffee is around the corner a couple of doors down in the lobby. I say corner because the private driveway and entrances to rooms is off the main street and your car is parked right in front of your room.

“… small … clean … fridge and microwave.”
A small motel, again clean, has fridge and microwave. Parking at private driveway between two buildings.

Bar-N-Ranch
“… the best place I’ve ever stayed.”
It’s just outside of West Yellowstone, and by far, the BEST place I’ve EVER stayed. If comfort, solitude, and exceptionally nice lodging is what your looking for, the Bar-N-Ranch is IT!! We started each morning with a cook to order breakfast ( I always had the steak) and when we returned in the evening from a long day of hiking and wildlife watching, the hot tub was right outside on our private back porch. It is pricey, but WELL WORTH IT! When we are in West Yellowstone next year, we will be staying here again.

Best Western Weston
“… big clean rooms … free wireless internet … not expensive …”
Not expensive, about $65 a night. Big clean rooms with refrigerators, microwave and free wireless internet.

“For the price, you can’t beat this place.”
… an older motel with exterior rooms. The price was excellent and was one of the reasons I booked there. Their breakfast is the typical “continental breakfast” without the waffle makers. Think sugar for the most part. The eating area is pretty small, tight, so if it was busy I just took my stuff back to my room. The rooms are _very_ nice. They have definitely been updated through the years. They had one internet computer, which during that time of year was usually open. There was a laundry mat right next door, so they don’t have dryers and washers at their building. The laundry mat is fair priced and they have a ton of machines available. The only thing was that it was up for sale back when we were there, not sure if it ever sold or not.
For the price, you can’t beat this place. If you plan on staying in your room/hotel for the duration of the day, I would spend more money for another place. If you want to be able to walk to the main center of town (the shopping and dining areas), this place may be too much of a hike for some. I never used the pool, but it is outdoor (with a hot tub as well).

“… large, modern three story motel …”
The Clubhouse Inn in West Yellowstone is a large, modern three story motel with a small meeting room. I have not seen the rooms but my photo group have stayed and met there. (Dennis from California)
Comfort Inn
“… staff was great … excellent continental breakfast …”
The Comfort Inn was nice, and the staff was great! They have an excellent continental breakfast as well.

Days Inn
“… OK … great indoor pool with waterslide”
It was ok, very noisy though. The bathroom paint was peeling and the tub had cracks in it, but the massage showerhead made up for it!! They have a great indoor pool with a waterslide, but at one point there were so many kids in it that you couldn’t even move!! The staff was very friendly & helpful, and gave us room towels when they didn’t have any pool towels left, so that was cool…. Would probably stay there again during the off season, during the week, but probably not on a weekend! They didn’t have microwaves, or fridges in the rooms, but did have a small coffee pot. We brought our own micro with us. And it was cold enough that the ice in the ice chest in the trunk of the car never melted, so it all worked out!!

Hibernation Station
“really nice and comfy”
really nice and comfy! Hibernation station cabins are worth the money just to have the different option of lodging style! Much more romantic, comfy, fireplace
(A guest from California)
Moose Creek Cabins
“We would definitely stay there again!”
The cabin was “just like the pictures” and we would definitely stay there again! The owners were very nice, and there were muffins and hot coffee every morning! The cabins are located off the main street, but within easy walking distance to the gift shops and restaurants.

Quarter Circle JK Ranch
“We preferred the atmosphere …”
We preferred the atmosphere of the Quarter Circle JK Ranch about 7 miles outside of West Yellowstone down Hwy 20. These are individual log cabins all with kitchenettes, authentic western/rustic themes, comfortable beds, wood stoves and plug ins for your snowmobile. They also offer horsemanship classes and trail rides in the spring and summer. In the winter, you have to snowmobile in to the cabins, which was REALLY cool to us, which are about a mile and a half in from Hwy 20 but there is ample parking off the highway for your vehicle.

Stage Coach Inn
“very good value for the money”
We stayed at the Stage Coach Inn in West in June 2003 & August 2004 and was a very good value for the money if you don’t mind tourist trap towns.
