Kelly Inn West Yellowstone

Kelly Inn West Yellowstone

10/10 Excellent
"Great location for visiting Yellowstone- right outside the park entrance, it was so nice not having to drive through town after seeing the sights all day, or being able to leave a bit late in the morning and getting to the entrance in 3-4 minutes. Helpful staff. We were in the new building, so everything was in good condition. Breakfasts were varied each day. The only small complaint was the pool could use some additional chairs and tables, and perhaps more frequent visits to monitor for trash (although I personally blame the guests who can’t simply clean up after themselves when they leave the pool!)."
