What guests say
7.9 / 10 · Good on Booking.com, from 663 guest reviews
The Alpine Motel of Cooke City earns consistent praise for its prime location as a gateway to Yellowstone's Lamar Valley and the Beartooth Highway, with guests appreciating clean rooms, friendly staff, and fair pricing for a remote area. However, recurring issues — including no air conditioning, unreliable Wi-Fi, thin walls, and occasional malfunctioning in-room amenities — temper expectations for comfort-focused travellers. It is best treated as a practical, no-frills base rather than a polished hotel stay.
