Location right outside Yellowstone entrance, walkable to downtown, excellent breakfast, clean room, comfortable bed, pool area clean, ample parking, friendly staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Everything by about our stay was excellent. Great restaurant recommendations from personnel when checked in, excellent housekeeping, clean and quiet room, high quality breakfast buffet, comfortable beds. I highly recommend this hotel!
Breakfast was amazing and also the breakfast staff was very helpful and courteous. The front desk staff, housekeeping, everyone was so friendly and willing to offer any kind of help needed. The location in town is perfect for dinner, shopping and entertainment and the location to the entrance to Yellowstone was the icing on the cake. If we ever travel to this area again we will be returning the the Best Western Desert Inn.

We had a nice stay here. It was nice to be so close to the West Yellowstone entrance and also a great location for walking around the town. Nice stay.
Located in the middle of West Yellowstone. Convenient walking distance to all amenities. Takes about an hour to reach The Old Faithful from where we are staying
Very clean and staff very friendly.
Will definitely stay here again

I was looking forward to the pool and jacuzzi but they were not working at the time we stayed. Breakfast was good and rooms were clean which we enjoyed. Will definitely stay at a Best Western again!
Great hotel right in the middle of town. Great "full" breakfast buffet and tasty. Conveniently located near shopping, dining and even a Super Market 2 blocks away. Had a nice fridge with freezer section that we kept supplies for our daily trips. This is a nice hotel for the price point. Clean indoor pool and large jacuzzi. Kind of noisy at night with the traffic.
