So I text the manager and she said she'd come mop our floor. I said we were going to dinner so that was fine. When we got back our room then smelled strongly of vinegar. The beds were comfortable but the decor was very outdated. Except for the sticky floor it was clean.

Stay here, If you can get a room. Unless you like chain hotels, then stay down the road…read more I have been past this place so many times and it always appeared as though a series of small shops rather than a motel. Wow -- what was I doing to make that silly a mistake? The Livingston Inn is a boutique hotel that's been around for years. It's an unusual setup, a long hallway on a single level with a couple of doors to the outside and the rooms on the other side of the hallway. That makes for less noise from neighbors across the hall and allows guests to walk across the hall to the nearest door to get outside and get into their cars. No long walks to find an elevator, dragging your luggage, and then walking past rows of cars to get to yours. It's a style more reminiscent of a motel than a hotel. The rooms are unusual, at least mine was, with the small refrigerator, microwave, sink and coffee maker on one side of the room all on an L-shaped counter and the bed on the opposite side. It felt like a small, efficiency apartment. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the wi-fi worked well. There was a lot of room to walk around in the room without tripping over something. Check in was a little strange, most likely because it is a small family-run hotel, and there isn't always anyone at the desk, even if you have a reservation, so while you wait you can explore the touristy stuff, maybe start a game of chess. The most unusual thing about the check-in, is that there is no key -- you are given a code and instructions on how to punch-in the code on your room door. If you've ever done a vacation rental home, you'll understand the process. No key to lose or misplace. Despite being on a main road, it's quiet here and a good spot to kick off exploration of the area.

I still think about the shower at this hotel, it was absolutely lovely and the water pressure was peak. The room seemed to be on the newer side, and the beds were wonderful. Comfortable, soft, and clean. We didn't hear a peep from our neighbors and I wish we had stayed longer. Staffs were pleasant to interact with and the breakfast was actually pretty decent! Nothing to really brag about, but definitely better than the usual complimentary breakfasts you get. I can't think of anything to fault this hotel with. It was slightly on the pricier side with pet fees added on, but at base price it's an absolute steal. 10/10 experience.

Avoid at All Costs - Misleading and Unsafe…read more I booked this hotel through Expedia based on the photos, but the reality was completely different--this place is a total dive. The property is not ADA compliant--I couldn't find a single accessible parking space or wheelchair ramp. When I arrived around 11 PM, there was no one at the front desk to check me in, and the whole place felt sketchy. Once I got in (finally), things only got worse. The air conditioner barely worked, and the property was swarming with ants and bugs. The TV didn't work, possibly due to the remote, but honestly, I didn't feel safe enough to even call down for help. The beds were literally rebuilt using 2x4s, and the overall condition of the room made it clear that maintenance and cleanliness are not a priority here. To make matters worse, I was using a dealer loaner vehicle without a license plate, and the front desk agent yelled at me over it--instead of offering help or understanding, they were rude and aggressive. I checked in at 11 PM and was out by 3:30 AM. The place gave me the heebie-jeebies and felt unsafe. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone--you're better off sleeping in your car. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere.

I just want to say, I have some pretty well known family that lives in Livingston MT, with a lot of…read morereach and when they hear our experience at this place, they'll help me spread the word and hopefully this place goes out of business. The absolute worst stay ever. We booked 4 days for my daughter's wedding in Livingston MT. The first night it was obvious there was obvious be an issue. 1. The guy behind the counter knew nothing, said he was new but still should have been able to help people before being thrown to the wolves. 2. We tried to take a shower and the water kept getting hotter and hotter and if you tried to turn it down it went instantly cold. Turn it back to warm and it would be find then scald you. So we'd just leave it at a warm setting to start and then step out of the water for 30 seconds every time it got too hot to stand under. If you're showering to long, doesn't matter what you do, it is just molting lava continuously. 3. Asked at the front desk if they knew what the showers are doing or if anyone else has complained and they told me no, no complaints. When I tried to tell them they basically told me I was stupid and didn't know how to work a shower. Then a friend of ours came into town, stayed at the same motel and told us his water did the same thing, on top of that, he had no pressure to even get clean. 4. The ice machine never had ice in it the entire 4 days we were there. 5. They don't clean your room while you're in it and when I asked about clean towels they said leave them outside our door and they would leave us clean ones.Guess what.. none were left. Was told they would clean the room if we requested it, so I did, but was than given every excuse in the book why they can't, short staffed, water concerns, yada yada yada... 6. It's pretty clear people complain a lot to them because when someone comes in to hear a complaint, they are instantly RUDE. Snub you off, give excuses and down right tell you don't know what you're talking about. Don't stay here!!! I wish we could have left but of course there were no other rooms available in all of Livingston, and I knew they wouldn't refund me my money and I couldn't afford to go to an expensive place that might be open. If I couldn't afford give 0 stars I would! I didn't expect a fancy motel, because it's the cheapest motel, but I didn't expect to be treated like a low class citizen or not to be able to take a shower.

And, forget about being able to recharge all your devices at once (being an older building, there very few easily accessible outlets). But, if you want a place that is clean and comfortable, and the staff nice, then this is a good place to lay your head for the night. While this small (only 12 or so rooms) motel is a bit out dated, it's one if the cleanest places that I've ever stayed at (eby - even before Yelp :-D ). The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is the standard Continental affair. Being old school (or, maybe just old, ugh), I was surprised that being an independent place, they didn't have cash discounts. So, to me, the price of $96 seems a bit high to me for a bare-bones place like this. Also, something they do that I wasn't happy to see: they write your c/c and CVV numbers down in case of damage to the room. I just hope they destroy it to where it can't be used. Now, I gotta watch my card more closely.

The Lamar has everything a family could need including a great kitchen for making memorable meals (I love to cook and found all the supplies I needed), ample space for hanging out with and without your family, and all the modern conveniences travelers expect (there's even Wifi). The dining area provided a wonderful start to the day with a cup of coffee and a gorgeous view of the mountains. The propane grill off the back deck made dinnertime easy. The bedrooms were spacious and the whole house was equipped like the finest hotel. Horseback riding, white water rafting and fabulous hikes are all a short drive away.

It is in Emigrant a small town that boasts a great bakery and great BBQ in the warm season. To get to and from the Cabin you drive through the Chico Hot Springs Resort. In addition to hot springs Chico has a riding stable and adventure company for white water, scenic floats and hiking. This is nice if you don't want to drive to Gardiner some days. There is also a nice hike to a falls just up the road from the cabin. The cabin itself was excellent. We were there on some hot days and the cabin stayed cool if you closed the blinds as instructed. There was a full kitchen and while fussy cook husband might have wanted sharper knives for prep work he managed to make some fine meals. He also used the charcoal grill but the black flies were thick in the heat. Better him than me! Happily the long porch facing the stream is fully screened. No biting things there. The porch had a casual dining table and glider bench. The cabin had two bedrooms and one and a half baths. The half bath was in a utility room which included a washer and dryer. Priceless! There was also a comfy living room with two sofas and a glider chair. We never used the TV but it was there too. The cabin had wifi thankfully because there wasn't much cell reception. Basically it was a great place to get away, listen to the creek at night and relax.
