“Good rooms but noisy.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Two coach parties arrived as we did, and they perhaps gave a bad experience. The room was comfortable but the furniture was dated. It had all the facilities, coffee maker etc, and iron obtainable from reception.

Breakfast was unfortunately very crowded, and somewhat limited. The need more choice and better quality products. The walls of the room were thin so we heard a lot of noise.

Thank you for staying at our hotel and reviewing the property. We are very sorry your experience was less than what you had hoped for. We appreciate your comments about the breakfast space- in our busy summer months we do offer the breakfast in a larger space. Though this space is not available in the winter, we realize it can get quite crowded in the lobby on some days. We do offer trays so you can bring food back to your room and enjoy your breakfast without the crowds. We are also happy to report that many upgrades to the rooms are happening this spring, including adding sofa sleepers to all our king rooms. We hope you have the opportunity to visit us again soon and hopefully we can provide a better experience for you.

“Very Good Hotel near Town Square”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

We stayed two nights in late January and we had no problem with the room. Very clean room nothing fancy about it but a great stay. Beds were good and we did not eat the breakfast hotel although it looked fine we just wanted a hot breakfast. If you want to stay near town square in Jackson this is a great place.

“Nice, especially for the price!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

Staying in Jackson is pretty expensive, we were able to book this hotel for under 100 dollars through priceline. We were really glad to find it as they were one of the only hotels in the area that allowed pets. What we really appreciated about the pet policy was that it was a $20 one time charge, not per night! They had a pretty decent breakfast. The room was very comfortable, clean and quiet. It is located pretty close to the square and provides free parking. The only downside was that the hot water in our shower was spotty, it would be warm then turn cold then warm up again, very strange, but not bad enough for us to complain.

Thank you so much for reviewing our hotel. We are very happy you were able to take advantage of our winter specials. We love to host pets and just wanted to let you know a portion of the pet fee does get donated to a local non profit animal advocacy group, PAWS. We hope you have the chance to visit us again soon and experience even more of what Jackson has to offer!

“Decent at best”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012

They call the hotel the Painted Buffalo... not because of the decorations on the property... but because it sounds like a herd of buffalo are in the room above you if you get a ground floor room.

The hotel is clean and the beds are comfortable, but it is defintely an old hotel. The walls are thin and the creaks are endless. However, when you close your eyes.... all hotels look the same. Well... thats if you can if the buffalos in the upstairs room stop pacing back and forth.

One other thing, the breakfast is the worst free breakfast that I have had. Basically just cereal, donuts, bagels, and muffins. However, the last three are all super tiny.

However.... even with all that said.... if you come to Jackson... it is a good deal. You're not here for the hotel anyways..

Room Tip: Make sure to ask for a fridge and microwave as my room did not have it, but others did.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the Painted Buffalo Inn. Thank you for your comments and feedback. We do like to recommend the second floor for our more sensitive sleepers. We are happy to report that all of our rooms have now been outfitted with refrigerators and we have microwaves available upon request.
