We traveled throughout Yellowstone and thought the Hatchet Resort would be a perfect lodge. What a mistake. The hotel had been renovated within a few years and could have been very nice. But, the carpet was filthy. Sand had been tracked in through the front door and they hadn't bothered to vacuum it. We requested vacuuming and after they were done it was still sandy. The shower stall had been remodeled and had nice stone tile but the soap scum stuck to it was disappointing. The mattress on the beds looked like it was from World War II and was hard as a rock. The final straw was my wife waking to the sound of mice crawling through the attic. She was awake all night listening to it. We complained the next morning and they flatly denied the room had mice. They refused to refund our money for that night or the following two nights we had paid upfront for. We checked out that morning and are still arguing with them about a refund on the remaining nights. If management spent a little more time with motel upkeep they would be in much better financial shape.

After we left we stayed at the Rustic Inn. Very nice. Log cabins, clean, no mice and luxurious. About the same amount of money. The Hatchet "motel" is a ripoff. They need new management.

Stayed one night in a Suite. Beautiful views of the Tetons. Fantastic Big Jetted Tub. Great Big windows to let the Mountain air flow. Delightful Heated floors to warm your feet. Loads of extra blankets, pillows and plenty of towels.Pleasant staff that was looking forward to a much needed break from the busy Summer Season!
Book one of the Suite's it's worth it!

The Hatchet Resort is vastly over rated and over priced. Our room was not much bigger than a walk-in closet. The lone bed was tight to the wall while the opposite wall was less than 18 inches from the bed. The carpet was stained and wet and wood was rotting from a leaky shower sill. The hot tub they advertised was not working and has not been working for awhile. The WIFI signal is so weak it only works in their office. They do not provide an ice bucket or ice. What a rip off. You would be better off sleeping in a car - cleaner, bigger, more comfortable.

Stayed in august 2011 with family. Room was not huge but very comfortable. Looked like the bathroom was recently upgraded. The front desk staff was very accommodating and assisted us with booking horseback rides. They were also very helpful with planning our days in yellowstone. The food in the restaurant was fantastic! The brisket was great! The breakfast was reasonably priced and the portions were huge. We are looking forward to getting back to the area and will stay again.
