This motel trades in its history, but has been let go to an extent that it needs considerable investment to bring it up or an acceptable standard. It is not in a great location and has little going for it. I would never stay here again.

We picked this location for the proximity to the National park. The Trail Shop Inn is a rustic log cabin setting with beautiful views. It shows some age but that is part of the charm. The cabin was comfortable and warm.

This property clean with amazing view. We had a plan to come and visit yellowstone and it was the most coldest day in June. Staff was really helpful and provided 2 space heaters for us, which was a big deal. Nice was cozy and warm. We also had dinner for 2 days straight and it was amazingly delicious. Thank you

Our shack, number 1 was a joke. We had to spin the mattress around so our heads weren't lowere than our feet, the toilet was shimmed up with pieces of wood and it was unstable. The microwave was falling apart because of the angle it was on because the whole cabin was sloping. The tv had two remotes and when i tried to change channels with one of them it lost signal so that was that, no more tv. This cabin was something i would maybe think about staying in if i was in a remote hunting or fishing situation roughing it.

For greater than $200 a night you get to experience a small cabin that likely doesn't pass local building codes. The lights are dim and flicker like you're in a horror movie, the mattresses and pillows are of the cheapest quality. There is zero lighting outside apart from the sign leading you in, but that wasn't always on, this is bear country after all. The toilet is so close to the wall you can't sit on it straight and good luck trying to figure out the shower; The valve must be the design of someone's drunk uncle, just when you got the water warm enough, the shower is about to overflow because it doesn't drain fast enough, because the tile lip on the floor is very shallow, then you have to turn the water down and surprise, you either have scalding hot or ice cold. There is no indication of hot or cold. I had a dead bug under my pillow like a gift from the tooth fairy. The restaurant when open was great and the management was very professional, kind and helpful. I give this place a failing grade of 2 out of 5, it would be a 1 but the staff earned themselves an extra star. Maybe I just got the bad cabin. New shower valves, cheap solar yard lights and turning the water temp down on the water heater would go a long way here.

The outside of the cabin looked a little rough, but the inside was clean, neat, and a great fit for our family. The setting is beautiful, surrounded by scenic mountains that made the location feel peaceful and remote. Our main issue was the lack of connectivity. There was no cell service, and although WiFi was advertised, it didn’t reach our cabin. If we needed to make a call, send a text, or look something up online, we had to walk down to the restaurant. For a property this remote, reliable WiFi access in all guest areas is essential.

Historic cabins with older furnishings

The furniture really needs to be updated. The beds are firm. The shower was difficult to manage. There will be no phone signal, but the management will send you a message to warn you. Please note that the WiFi does not reach all of the cabins from the central lodge. You will also be paying your entire balance at the hotel, not through Expedia/Hotels regardless of what the website says. The restaurant there is very good, but plan to make a reservation as it is small and lots of people come to eat. The scenery around the cabins is beautiful. It’s about a half hour to the east gate of Yellowstone, but plan extra time to reach anything in the park.
