The hotel is a bit dated, but you can't beat the location near Yellowstone. You're paying mostly to save on driving each day when visiting the park.

Perfect location. Right in the middle of west Yellowstone. Wished it had a pool but the overall amenities were good. The breakfast was great! The staff were incredibly friendly. It was right across the street from a park which was nice. We played basketball one of the afternoons. We had a very nice stay.
