We arrived at Yellowstone National Park without reservations and, of course, the place was booked solid, even in late September. So, we drove into West Yellowstone since that’s the most convenient gateway city. There are places on the main drag – Yellowstone Avenue – but after some searching online, we chose the Holiday Motel. It’s a nice quiet budget motel located a few blocks from the rest.

The room we had was very roomy and comfortable. The two double beds were covered with beautiful quilts and it felt very homelike. The bathroom looked brand new and was very clean with a nice shower. The room had a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker, things we always find useful.

One possible downside for some is that the room just had a simple lock in the doorknob. There was no extra bolt lock or chain lock. We weren’t concerned but some might not like that. We stayed three nights and were very comfortable.

In addition to the quiet, another nice thing about the location of the Holiday Motel is that it’s only about a block from a great breakfast place, the Running Bear Pancake House.

I would recommend this motel.
We booked for three a three night stay in the motel , however after getting caughtout by a huge hold up at security at Las Vegas airport we missed our plane. Phoned to say would be a day late getting there, no problem was the reassuring reply. We arrived to find that there was no charge for the night we missed (i was amazed), they managed to move things around so we could still have the length of stay we required, if fact we added a day!
The Motel is at the quiet end of a small town so nowhere is far away, there's a great breakfast resturant across the road and the entrance of the park is about a mile away. It has all you could need from a budget motel, the bed was comfortable, the shower was good and the room was spotlessly clean, with the added bonus that the owners are very nice helpful people who turned a potential nightmare into a pleasant experience....

Spacious room, comfortable beds, nice owners. Like in most hotels and motels in the US, the walls are very thin, therefore you can hear your neighbors very good. Wifi worked well. Lot of possibilities for food, but nothing inside the motel. Totally fine for one night, if you have a car.
