Bucking Moose

"Room: Pros, This is a you get what you pay for scenario. It’s nothing special. The self check in was simple and easy, the room size was enough for the two of us and it served the purpose Cons, The room in winter isn’t very well insulated so I think you might be able to hang meat in the bathroom. We didn’t try though. The bed needs a mattress topper, the curtains need replaced and the holy towels should go to church! Service: Pros, the overall self check in and such was easy and the wall concierge was helpful. Cons, YNP cancelled all snowmobile traffic into the park the day before our trip. This was the whole point of our travel. When I contacted customer service the ONLY option they would offer is for us to move the trip to another weekend. Due to our schedules, the availability of the Bucking Moose on VRBO and limited time off we had no other options. They were very serious about no cancellation no refund. I understand for many reasons why but when all other options for our reason to come down were booked out for weeks it was kind of a waste for us. We left a day early. Location: only pros for this. You can walk to almost everything could think of and it was pretty quiet for being on a main road."

"So let me start by saying if we had stayed only one night my review might be better, but we stayed for 3 nights so all the little things start to add up! The Bad: if booking thru ARBNB- $400 a night after all fees etc ( my bad should have done more research!!) The room was ok , large floor air conditioner takes up space that would be better suited for a small table and chair so you don’t have to sit on bed to eat. One side chair is in the room which I would replace with a comfortable chair. Internet is not secure anyone walking by can log in . TV does not get any network stations live broadcast. No fan in the bathroom, definitely signs of mold on our window trim. Smoke alarm went off at 1230 at night waking up the building we were in with 9 other units, they went off again at 630am the 2nd morning. There is a flat screen display in room for information, you can put it to sleep, I like it dark, in the middle of the night it does a SW update so turns on blue screen and then shut off after a few minutes. Parking, there are about 6 spots right out in front of the rooms nice but folks car beeping and doors are constant. The rest of the parking is on a dirt lot behind the hotel. Good: Room is OK think old roadside Motel which has been slightly upgraded with small fridge( a little loud when it turns on) microwave and coffee maker. mattress is comfortable, small bathroom. Clean. Ice machine! A/C worked well, but space could be better used by adding a table and getting a better AC than the floor unit."

"I stayed at The Bucking Moose on three separate occasions during a trip to Yellowstone in late April/early May. I stayed in "The Loft", "The Lynx Room" and "The Rabbit Room". (Long story but we were moving around a lot during this trip and thus only spent one night each time we stayed in West Yellowstone.) Property was clean, rooms were spacious enough (especially the loft which has two rooms including a kitchenette and three queen-sized beds.) However, the bathrooms were extremely tight in the rooms I stayed in and there was a small brad nail sticking up out of the transition to the bathroom in The Lynx Room. The rabbit room also has the mechanical access closet but that didn't bother us. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. There is no front desk so check in is super easy -- just put the code that is emailed to you into the door keypad. I only had to call management once but they were easy to get ahold of via phone. I would highly recommend staying here."
