Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were very comfortable and filled with interesting Buffalo Bill memorabilia, making them quite enjoyable. The service was efficient and attentive, although not all aspects were helpful. The location was the best part of the stay, offering a glimpse into history with its historic preservation. The dining was a mix of very good food in a lovely setting, albeit with some heating issues. The facilities were accommodating, providing a pleasant stay.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, albeit a bit small and lacking windows, were tidy and had a pleasant bathroom. The service went beyond in one instance but had a minor issue with key handling. The location was convenient but had an overall tired feel. The dining experience was lukewarm with mostly cold dishes. Facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel offers unique and spacious rooms with great artwork and comfortable beds but can feel a bit stuffy at times. The staff is helpful, with standout service from Kenny W at the front desk. The location is vibrant and right downtown, perfect for exploring nearby attractions. The dining options are outstanding with very affordable choices.
I had a cozy stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms. The skylights made the room bright and peaceful, although there was limited space for cosmetics. The service was outstanding, from taking care of a plate and splinter to providing amusing and efficient assistance. The location, while needing updating, remained authentic and convenient to explore the historic town of Cody. The dining, though not included, was excellent, especially in the mornings. Overall, a pleasant and value-for-money experience.
Despite the quaint and historic appeal of the hotel in Cody WY, the rooms were a bit disappointing with minimal amenities, lack of storage space, and some noise issues resembling an old west scenario. On the bright side, the rooms were spacious although unkempt. The service, especially from Kenny W at the front desk, was superb and accommodating, but there were some maintenance problems like a valve issue. The location was the best feature, offering a time warp experience and easy access to local businesses. Dining was satisfying with delicious options like prime rib and seafood, a perfect treat after days at Yellowstone.
