The hotel serves free continental breakfast each morning, helping guests start their day without hassle.

Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Convenient location in Big Sky, set us up well for being at Yellowstone early in the morning. Great pool with water slide and hot tub. Offered rooms with 3 queens and a fridge. Wasn't spotless clean, but for less than $300 in June I can overlook a smudge on the mirror! Pro tip-- there's no elevator to the 3rd floor so if stairs are an issue you will want to get a room on the first or second floors.”
“Nice, clean, updated Hotel for travel back to the Bozeman Airport (1hr) from the southern parks. Staff were very kind and helpful. Having a 3-bed room was a rarity, but so great for our family with teens. More hotels should do this! My son loved the waterslide. Pretty view of mountains at sunrise. Quick 5min drive into Big Sky.”
“Stayed here during our visit to Yellowstone. It’s a nice place. Room was spacious and clean. Breakfast could be better. Had very few options. Overall, our stay was okay and its within an hour from Yellowstone.”
“We fully enjoyed our stay. Great location. Beautiful scenery. Friendly staff. Great Breakfast. The pool and hot tub were very relaxing. My grandson enjoyed the water slide. Nice washer and dryers. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and will stay again if I’m ever back in Montana.”
“Very quiet, clean rooms with hospitality that was exceptional. Room came with two passes to Lone Mountain Resort to ride the chair lifts to the top of Everett 8800 and Big Sky Mountain! Yes I did walk up to the tower... Had to back down to get a picture! I was on top of the world!”
