I stayed here for one night before my trip to Yellowstone National Park and I must say it was a very pleasant day and if I ever returned, I will definitely be staying here. My room was clean well appointed, comfortable, quiet and warm.. Brian and Patty Watson are the owners and they are doing a terrific job of maintaining an older motel and a very busy town. Brian carried my luggage to the room. He also gave me several recommendations for places to eat and shop. Just wonderful wonderful people. Don't hesitate to book a room here because you will not be disappointed. read more

Friendly, basic, clean, convenient, parking included, comfortable. The rooms are not spacious and the bathroom a bit tight. However, the location is excellent , price is right and everything works. Thanks for a very nice accommodation. Know where I'm staying if back in West Yellowstone. read more

Brian and Patti were outstanding hosts. Very clean rooms and efficient accommodations. Parking right in front of the room nightly. Lobby was open from 7:30 am to 10 pm daily with a microwave, fresh coffee, hot water, assorted chocolates, granola bars and fruit candies. Brian recommended a nice side trip to the Mesa Falls loop, Henry Lake, Quake lake and a few others spots. Took the time to show us recommendations for places to eat, suggested places to visit inside and outside Yellowstone Park. They take great pride in what they do and it shows. Thanks again Buddy for making our stay so pleasant and enjoyable. We will have to do it again in the future for sure. read more

We loved, loved' loved the Alpine motel. So much so that we stayed twice for the month we stayed in the Yellowstone area. Clean, comfortable rooms- great hosts and right around the corner (literally) from the west entrance to Yellowstone park. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!! Thank you Brian and Patty for two wonderful stays. read more

Great place to stay in West Yellowstone. Owner are very nice and helpful. we stayed in kitchen unit. it was clean and well maintained. Unit had 2 Queen beds in separate room. Kitchen was clean and had everything needed except your food. Hotel was only 1/2 block off Main Street. Numerous eating establishments within a short walk. Only a short drive to entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Would highly recommend this hotel. Book early as it is small but you will not be disappointed. read more

Best motel for cost. Husband and wife owners are super friendly and helpful. You can see that they take pride in what they do. I will NOT hesitate in staying here again. Brian and Patty are good people. read more

We enjoyed our stay so much. The rooms were impeccably clean and the hospitality was unmatched. Brian and Patty extremely helpful with suggestions and all questions. They clearly love what they do. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Motel room floor was soaking wet, the wood around the shower was black and rotting. The only outlets in the room are behind the headboards that are nailed into the wall. Employees at every store were extremely rude and unhelpful. The man at the office did not want to help. Put us in the very last room, where construction right outside our room began at 6am. Tldr the room is nasty and the employees are rude. read more

My fiancé and I are giving Brian and Pat a 5 star for their hospitality, great customer service on a personal level, and cleanliness!! Bryan and Pat really treat you like family!! Also the entrance to Yellowstone is less than 2 minutes away with our room being in walking distance to shops and great places to eat. This really was an amazing find. read more

Stayed 4 nights at the Alpine Motel in West Yellowstone. This property is centrally located in West Yellowstone which allowed us to easily walk to restaurants, shops, etc. The accomodations are clean, comfortable and very affordable. The property owners are super friendly and accomodating. As we spent almost all our (awake) time in Yellowstone Park, the Alpine Motel was the perfect place for us to crash after long days in the park. Took us about 5 minutes to hit the park entrance from our room - again perfect for us. Looking forward to staying there again in the near future. We loved this place. Thanks, Brian and Sandy! read more

After doing some research on places to stay near Yellowstone, I settled on Alpine Motel for its competitive prices, proximity to the west park entrance, and good reviews. J and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and I'm so glad we were able to snag the last available room! As others have mentioned, Brian and Peggy are uber friendly owners who take your comfort very seriously. Whenever I dropped into the office they would come out and chat for a bit, asking me how my day was and offering advice for what to check out next. The rooms are quite cozy-- just enough space for a queen, and a very small shower/bathroom area. The rooms are outfitted with a heater, fan/AC system (via window), small TV, wifi (ask for the code) and fridge. If you're looking for a microwave, coffee, hot water, small snacks (they had chocolates and craisins while we were there), head over to the lobby. Our room was right on the street, which I thought might be noisy, but ended up being a non-issue as West Yellowstone is essentially dead after 10pm. OVERALL: If I ever find myself back in West Yellowstone, you bet I'll try to reserve a room at Alpine Motel. Definitely recommending to friends/family too! read more

Alpine Motel - Super cute decor. - Hotels Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

I have no major complaints about this motel at all. We stayed here in August of 2010. It's a small, attractive motel right in the middle of West Yellowstone. The rooms look nice and provide everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is a modest hotel, so interactions are more personal. We had to make our reservations through email and phone calls. The owners basically run the motel on their own. And they are very friendly. The price was very affordable when you compare with other places in town. My wife arranged for them to hold and refrigerate a birthday cake from a local grocer for a few hours until we arrived, and they gladly did it so she could surprise me when we got there. The room we stayed in had a queen bed, small table with two chairs, cable television (older model TV), small window unit for A/C that kept the room cool and comfortable, bathroom with shower only and toilet, vanity area with sink and refrigerator open to room (no door), and a ceiling fan. It was a small room but it was perfect for me, my wife, and our two year old son. The only thing to be forewarned about is the possibility of tight parking. If they are full, you will have a tight fit near your door to park. Just a heads up! read more

My buddy and I rolled in here after slogging through 100 miles of off-and-on rain on our motorcycles. The lobby/office was warm, dry, and they had coffee available as well as a bunch of freebies (candy and lotion). Brian came out from the back and greeted us warmly, made some small talk and quickly checked us in. I made the reservation in my name but my friend was paying for it and it was no hassle at all to swap cards so my friend could pay. Brian informed us of the office hours, when coffee and treats were available, and then personally took us to our room. Nice touch when you're used to just being given your keys and a map. Not that it was that far, our place was right in front. This is a small motel, maybe 10 units, and it felt just right. Got to our room and Brian showed us how the heat and air worked, explained the other room amenities and then left us to ourselves. Very nice and personable, not what I was expecting for a place like this. I normally stay in corporate places but Alpine might just change my mind. We were cold and wet so cranked up the heat, got out of our wet clothes and went for some dinner. A fully belly and a couple beers made for a great nights sleep. If only I'd remembered to turn down the heat in the room. Around 2:30am I woke up and the room was about 85 degrees. Completely my fault, nothing against the place, although a modern thermostat would be nice instead of just a dial operated heater. I actually stood out in the driveway of the place for about 15 minutes to cool off while I had the door of our room open. Other than the heat I had a good night's sleep, and the room came with little feebies of toothpaste, razor, lotion, all kinds of random stuff. Not a big deal, but it was one more thing I didn't have to worry about buying later on in our trip. The rooms are pretty.. cozy (read: small) but when all you need is a place to crash, that works pretty well. Everything was clean and tidy and well kept. The personal service more than made up for any shortcomings of the facilities; the only other being the parking. You park in front of your room. We only had two motorcycles, but a large truck or something may be challenged getting to fit. There's street parking but it's pretty sparse in the afternoon/evening once all the travellers arrive. Overall, a fantastic night at Alpine Motel. I wish we could've stayed longer but our schedule didn't allow it. If I ever make it back up to Yellowstone, Alpine is on my list of places to stay. read more

I am so glad someone mentioned this place to stay at on an online forum, because it doesn't come up on online booking sites. The couple running the motel are such nice people. Upon checking in, Brian showed me how everything in the room worked and asked if I wanted restaurant recommendations. The heating worked extremely well, the fridge was very convenient to have, and the shower had great water pressure with plenty of hot water. They also clean the room daily. The room is modest but comfortable. The TV was fantastic. Best of all, the location is perfect for seeing Yellowstone being just minutes from the west entrance of the park. We were able to drive and see all the main attractions in the park in 2 long days (each day we did one loop of the park). The restaurants we enjoyed in town were Las Palmitas, Cafe Madriz, Wild West Pizza, and Slippery Otter Pub. Would definitely stay here again in the future. read more

The Guy at the desk was so friendly and helpful! He was very professional and nice! Our room was super clean!!!! No hair, no dust, just perfect!!! I will highly recommend this place!!!! read more

Staying here you really see what a difference hands-on ownership can make in the hospitality industry. Brian and his wife (forgot name, sorry!) take care of you as if you were family. The units are immaculate and have huge, comfy beds. Cute old west cabin. When you arrive, you will be given a warm welcome and a thorough explanation of how everything works. Pay particular attention to your parking; they are great people but they run a tight ship. There are lots of free trail bars and other snacks in the little lobby, and the owners provide good recommendations for everything from meals to bicycle repair. This place is the best deal for the money in West Yellowstone. read more

Loved my experience here. The bed was very comfortable, sheets and towels seemed new/fresh/clean, and the staff was outstanding!

What a great nostalgia trip! We stayed for a week touring YNP and surrounding spots. Perfect location for exploring the park. Brian and Patty are brilliant hosts. Our room was impeccably clean and refreshed daily. Staying there was a real treat and brought back fond memories of family vacations out west in the 60s. Oh, and their complimentary coffee is the best in town read more

My husband and I stayed at the Alpine Motel for five days while visiting Yellowstone national park. The owners Brian and Patti were very hospitable The rooms were very nice, and immaculate. Plenty of fresh towels and toiletries. The owners gave us recommendations for restaurants and fun things to do in west Yellowstone. This motel is close to the west entrance. The rooms are individual cottage like rooms. Park in front of your door. They also had great coffee in the office lobby along with various snacks. I would highly recommend this motel and will definitely stay there again The beds were pretty comfortable, bathroom and shower small but worth the reasonable price. There is a a refrigerator and the room did have air-conditioning and lovely TV it's very cute within walking distance to all the restaurants and shops and grocery stores. We loved it here and Patti and Brian couldn't be any nicer. highly recommend this. 5 stars for sure. read more

If you're looking at a quality, good value place to stay that won't cost you an arm and a leg and isn't the resort experience (but just as hospitable!) this is a good place to go! What appears like any other motel on the outside is quite cozy on the inside. Brian and Patty make staying at the Alpine Motel special. They are accommodating and helpful. They even offered us a brush to sweep snow off of our car! The rooms are decorated to fit the wilderness setting of Yellowstone. Loved my moose pillows! Definitely would recommend this place to stay. read more

We stayed at the Alpine Motel for two nights, on the second stop of our two week US road trip. We booked several months in advance - a king bed room for $105 a night incl tax. I talked to Brian on the phone at that time and he was super friendly and personable, which made me look forward to staying there. After a long day of driving and visiting part of Yellowstone Park, we checked in in the early evening. Brian was there to help us out and was again super friendly and explained everything they had to offer. He told us about the coffee and tea in the lobby, as well as the sweet free samples and the little candies and gum. He walked us to our room and showed us how to use the AC, tv, etc. Normally you don't know what to expect when you stay in these types of motel/cabins, so I was pleased to see that the room was modern, the bedspread was cute and it was very clean. Everything worked. It is slightly odd that the bathroom only has the shower and toilet in it, and then the sink and mirror are on the complete opposite side of the room, but not bothersome. The shampoo, soap, etc were of better quality than I expected, too. The location is great, just off of the main street. There are many restaurants and shops in less than 5 minutes walking distance. If you're lucky you'll be able to park your car right outside of your unit and leave it there while checking out the town. I would definitely recommend the Alpine Motel and would stay there again. read more

Alright buddy, this is some of the best service I've had at a hotel, period. The owner is super nice and will point out everything in in the lobby that's available such as coffee, ice, microwave, snacks, extra toiletries, etc. and will go over the intricacies of certain things in your room like the A/C, heat, and Direct TV remote. It may have been a little over the top, but it really did make me feel welcomed. He also suggested about 8 restaurants in town and pointed them out on a map. We tried 3 of them, and were overall very pleased. The room is very small and nothing fancy, but it's all you need. The only thing I didn't like here was the parking situation. There is not much room and you basically have to parallel park in front of your room. He will tell you exactly where to park when checking in, but after a long day in Yellowstone coming back late, it's a whole different story. You can't really fit a car in front of each room and leave space for getting in and out. One or two people will probably not get a spot if they come back late, but you can always park in the street as well (right in front of the lobby) so it's not a huge deal. Also, it's not their fault because they can't really create more parking. I would certainly recommend this place, buddy. read more

Absolutely fantastic, tons of charm. The real winner is the Owners, they own, operate and give the most amazing hospitality. My Wife and I have stayed here on 3 separate trips and will only stay at this Motel when not camping. read more

My boyfriend and I ended up at this sweet little place after missing a flight back to California last summer while he was on a motorcycle trip. They had one room left at a very reasonable price for the great central location. The owners offered good conversation, complimentary snacks and plenty of recommendations for dinner and breakfast. They spent about 10 minutes trying to fix our tv and ended up comping us some money for it having stopped working midway through the evening. We had such a pleasant experience had to go back and leave a review even a year later. Thanks again for the wonderful hospitality!! read more

Like everyone else, I can't recommend this place highly enough. This is a cute family run motel and you are made at home the minute you step into reception. Park your car in front of our room or in a pinch, in front of the motel where it will be perfectly safe. Rooms are comfortable and spotless. Huge KS bed with good quality bedding and a great night's sleep. Hot water is good. Towels are nice and fluffy too. TV has DirectTV access with plenty of channels and there's free wifi that works well. There are fridges in the room but no tea or coffee making facilities in room. No real concern though as there is not only tea and coffee available in the reception, they have complimentary muesli bars, fruit & nut snacks, mints and other treats. Microwave in reception also. The whole town is within walking distance with a supermarket across the road as well as plenty of restaurants and shops. This really is a super place to stay and right at the gate of Yellowstone. Much to like. read more

Stayed here for 1 night during the govt shutdown. Very nice, clean and comfortable room (room 0) for$65. The room is small but more than adequate for 2 people. Room zero is basically on the street so it may be a bit noisy during busy months, but was not a problem in early October. The bathroom is small but has been recently remodeled and is very functional. This is an excellent alternative to the other places in the area at half the cost. The hosts are very friendly and offer great advice on local attractions. I would stay here again if in west yellowstone. read more

Amazing hospitality! So pleasantly surprised by the owners going above and beyond to make the stay a great experience. Snacks in the lobby, a warm welcome, cozy digs, and a spectacular centralized location -walk anywhere in town! We thank the Watsons for taking pride in their operation and for accommodating us in our stay! Would recommend to all! :) Thank you! read more

Absolutely wonderful!!!!!!! Cannot say enough about this place! Impeccably clean, incredibly comfortable bed, amazing hospitality! When choosing a place to stay to see Yellowstone, this is THE place! read more

Alpine Motel was the coziest cabin I've ever stayed in - the room was so clean and lovely! :) Brian was so helpful and will help you in any way he can, so generous :) I'll definitely be coming back to these cabins and booking more nights in the future!

Alpine Motel - Hotels Near Me - West Yellowstone, Montana

We loved this place! Why? Great size, great location (within walking distance of restaurants and gift shops galore!) and great innkeepers. We are a family of 5 and trying to find a single hotel room that can herd our three kids into one place comfortably can be a challenge at times. The Alpine Inn was the answer to our prayers! We stayed in an upstairs two-bedroom unit with a full kitchen and bath. Talk about space! That kitchen could have rivaled the one I have at home...and it was stocked with pots, pans, silverware, cutting boards, can openers, cleaners and even a full size fridge and dishwasher. They'll even lend you DVD's to watch for free, if you are so inclined. And anything that wasn't found in the kitchen cabinets or provided by the proprieters could easily be purchased at the grocery store down the block. Hooray for the Alpine Inn and the uber friendly management! read more

Such friendly owners; their service was impeccable. The rooms were very clean and cozy. The bed was extra comfortable. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip. read more

Nice little motel, clean & snug, centrally located, reasonable rates, nice proprietors. Within walking distance of Greater Downtown West Yellowstone (okay, it's pretty small), including the Grizzly & Wolf Center, and Sidney's Mountain Bistro (which we enjoyed) read more

We had a vacation in Yellowstone and booked this hotel. It is petty good experience. You can find almost all the things you need in the room. It's a family owned business. The owner actually clean the room by themselves. I feel they are really doing a great job make the room clean and tidy, even better than some four star hotels. Also they are very warm and friendly. By the time we check in, the owner show us around the room and the facilities nice and detailed. You can park the car right in front of the door, which is very convenient. I love the wooden internal of the room, which makes feel very unique and comfortable. There are coffee, snacks in the lobby during their office hour. And all the supermarket, restaurants, and the west gate of yellowstone is within the walking distance. It is definitely a hotel that I would like to choose the next time I visit yellowstone. read more

This place is great. The rates are very reasonable, even during peak tourist season. The rooms were spacious and clean, and they even had amenities like shampoo and lotion (which is unusual for budget places!). They also had coffee and snacks in the reception area. The proprietors are also very nice. read more

Once again, we stayed at The Alpine Motel. Brian and Patti are the nicest people and they work their butts off to keep the motel in the best shape. The rooms are spotless, and Brian and Patti are always concerned about their guests. It is a great place to stay. In fact, I have my reservations made for next year. You do have to reserve early, because the motel fills up fast. read more

We travel across the States a lot and during our roadtrips we prefer staying at family operated places. This is one of the best family run motels we've been to - we stayed there in May. The owners were very friendly and helpful; Brian walked us to our room personally and showed us everything (Never had that happen before!). The rooms were clean and decorated with love - it felt more like staying overnight in your friend's guest room. The beds were very comfortable. There were several free samples in the room (deodorant, razor, body lotion, toothpaste) - loved that! They provide small snacks and hot drinks in the lobby which was nice. A lot of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Prime location when visiting Yellowstone National Park. Great, affordable motel! read more

Our family of four went for a week's vacation to Yellowstone and determined that West Yellowstone would be our base of operations. Once I started researching where to stay it became very apparent the Alpine Motel had it all - prime location in town, a three-bed kitchen suite that would allow my 2 kids (1 boy, 1 girl) to have their own beds, and best of all the incomparable owners Brian and Patty. I was right on all counts. Everything in town is a short walk from the Alpine, the roomy 3-bed kitchen unit allowed us to cook meals and load up the full-sized refrigerator with groceries, and Brian and Patty (who are the motel's only employees) were a font of information about restaurants, hikes, and any other recommendations you may seek. In addition, by the end of our week, they felt like lifelong friends. Before I forget, another fun feature about the Alpine was our introduction to the motel's unofficial mascot, Mr. Marmot. In addition to Brian and Patty's 2 cats, they have a Yellow-bellied Marmot that we were quickly introduced to that would make an appearance most days and loves peanut butter. We enjoyed leaving him snacks and were always happy to see him eating lunch or relaxing on his favorite rock. Overall, our experience at the Alpine Motel was a mix between staying at an intimate Bed & Breakfast and your family's guest cottage. 5 STARS!!! read more
