NO FULL CORONAVIRUS CANCELLATIONS or REFUNDS. DO NOT BOOK! This is an arrogant motel that refuses to give a proper refund despite a 60+ day notice of cancellation. This refusal is an absolute slap in the face for the nurses, doctors and other essential workers currently risking their lives and dying to save our lives, including lives in Wyoming. The owners of this motel believe that their front desk, motel rooms, and common spaces are 'wide open spaces' with zero risk of Coronavirus. Moreover, this motel believes that Coronavirus offers zero risk the moment Wyoming lifts its Stay at Home order. I believe that it is inappropriate for Half Moon Lake Lodge to dictate the level of risk for my life, and that of my family. Half Moon Lake Lodge is securing their massive profits for this summer by playing both ends of the game. If you attempt to cancel more than 60 days out due to Stay at Home order, or fear of Coronavirus, you will not receive a proper refund since they believe the virus is already completely gone as of April 15th, 2020 (yes, this date has already passed). If you wait till the last minute to cancel, you will not receive a proper refund because you failed to give them an advanced notice. This organization will massively profit through numerous reservations and cancellations doing their own little version of 'profiteering' from Coronavirus. Do you think they applied for government assistance as well? As I was filing the dispute, American Express said that reputable organizations are temporarily rewriting their cancellation policy to specifically adapt for Coronavirus--Adapt is the name of the game right now.
Have you considered that the crowded narrow boardwalks of Yellowstone, in combination with the heat/thermal activity is a perfect breeding ground for the Coronavirus?--It might be a good time to have a quick chat with a biologist. It was our intention to spend a couple days at Yellowstone, then drive to Half Moon Lake Lodge for the evening on our way home.
Given their inability to recognize the dangers of Coronavirus and failure to make adaptations, Half Moon Lake Lodge will be one of the most dangerous places for you and your family to stay this summer. Once again, Half Moon Lake Lodge is an arrogant organization willing to risk your life, and the lives of your family members to secure their own selfish endeavors of 'business as usual'. I believe this motel could have easily honored all cancellations, AND still FILLED their rooms with careless tourists failing to take proper health precautions. Do the Math--Careless tourists pick up the virus in world-renown Yellowstone and Jackson Hole; and give it to Half Moon Lake Lodge staff cleaning your room, employees, and owners that give it to you and your family. Summertime in Yellowstone will be the perfect location, conditions, and timing for the second wave of Coronavirus. There were 4,591 US American Coronavirus deaths during the 24 hour period when this review was written. read more
