I feel like I stayed at a different hotel than most other reviewers. We (family of four, including a 3 and 5 year old) were given a room on the first floor. We put our bags in the room and while the family went out to see a friend, I started laundry. In the course of two loads, two items came out with random tar (?) stains. The provided toiletries were used. The bathroom smelled of mildew. I wore socks in the room and they got dog hair on them (we were not traveling with a pet). My children’s feet were black from the floor and I ended up using a washcloth to clean them before putting socks back on them. The beds are on metal bases that rang like a gong whenever you bumped into them. The air conditioner would randomly make an awful sound to the point that my husband downloaded a sound machine app on his phone in the middle of the night to mask the noise. We opted out of using the shower or the pool because of the lack of cleanliness everywhere else.

I would usually have brought this to the attention of the staff, but by the time enough problems had arisen it was already late and my kids needed to go to sleep and the idea of switching rooms (with no guarantee of any real improvement) seemed worse than sticking it out. In retrospect I wish that I had said something. None of us slept well. I am blown away by other reviewers saying that this place was clean and well maintained.

The front desk was very accommodating to my needs. Our room appeared to be clean. The sheets were fresh. But there was a distinctive smell of dog. I asked the front desk if i was in a dog room they said no. I asked for some deodorizer it did not help much. I would suggest if you stay here go to the upstairs. It sounded like an elephant was in the room above us. Breakfast was minimal but put something in your belly.

Hotel looks/feels like a place where you'd get murdered. It's old and dirty; the air conditioning in the room was loud and smelled of stagnant water; the bathroom was falling apart; the bed was old, smelly, and uncomfortable; and the woman at the front desk was gruff and without any charm or friendliness.

The property was simply rundown, old, smelled in areas of smoke & not a place I felt particularly safe. There a brand new hotel just across the main highway which I should have stayed but had never been to Livingston. Just a disappointing experience in a nice town and otherwise great trip. The cost difference between properties in Livingston isn’t enough to not choose a newer, better kept and more pleasant environment by today’s standards

The housekeeping staff was really nice, but the front desk people at both check-in and check-out seemed bothered to have to help. It's my own fault that I didn't notice in the listing that there is no elevator, but the check-in person seemed so disinterested in helping that I didn't even ask whether there was the possibility of a similar room on the ground floor. Several people rang the bell at the front desk during breakfast without getting any response. Key cards stopped working on the day of check out, so they had to be re-activated. Nothing is refilled for breakfast after 8:30. I would recommend one of the many other options in Livingston.

So this is the second time I have stayed at this property in the last few months. Both times the same thing happened I called ahead this time it was 2 weeks before the state started. And requested a first floor accessible room. When I get there until the notes were not put in. I was also told by the desk clerk on duty who was not too friendly. That she didn't do that sort of thing put notes in. Cuz I asked well could you put it in for next time so that way it's on there. Because I have trouble with my feet and I have trouble climbing stairs. I stayed for 2 days and after the first day I left to run some errands that I needed to run. When I got back there was a stack of sheet sitting on the bed with a note saying that they couldn't change the bed because I had all my stuff on the bed. Well I was in expecting them to change the sheets after the first day that's really not good for the environment. Does she that were on there did have a small hole in it. And I looked everywhere for the do not disturb card I finally found it attached to the hangers when I was about to check out. The breakfast is a basic standard low cost breakfast. Sausage eggs toast cereal. I don't know if I will stay there at this hotel again. Because like I said it seemed like an inconvenience to the desert that I wanted a first floor room. And I thought it had already been taken care of like I said earlier.

We booked a room and our toilet was flooded just right upon checking in, the flooding was so bad it flooded the entire room floor. We asked front desk Cass for assistance with cleaning and maintenance the toilet as we had just checkin within 15 minutes. She was rude and refused to do anything including calling maintenance to help us. She also refused to offer refund and yelled “If you guys dont like it, you guys can leave now but there is absolutely no refund!” When we asked to speak to a manager regarding this urgent situation, she claimed she was the manager. She gave us a disturbing look with very mean appearance. Leaving no choice due to no refund, we had to clean the entire room floor and maintenance the toilet with our own hands as if we’re a worker in this hotel? Never before in our life have we been treated this badly before. We stayed through the night and left very early the next day. The toilet was never working afterward and we had to share the other room’s toilet we booked here. No apology from the hotel and no explanation given to us. We absolutely do not recommend this hotel to anyone. Be aware of this scam!

This hotel is pretty old and tired. Only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is that they had replaced the carpet in the room with vinyl plank, so that helped somewhat. There was wingback chair in the room that was fairly threadbare with stains on the arms and seat. The desk chair seat and armrests (vinyl) were worn and had tears in them. The desk, lamp and end tables were scratched and worn. With all that said, the bed was pretty comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. I booked a \"pet-friendly\" room, but they did not have that marked at check-in. I figured by booking that specific room there would not be a pet fee on top of it, but there was ($20). That was a surprise. The breakfast area is very small, so most people did not have a place to sit. I only needed to stay for a night, and it worked in a pinch, but I wouldn't want to stay more than one. Not likely to return.

The hotel was decent overall, with clean and comfortable rooms. However, the breakfast experience was disappointing. Breakfast was advertised to be available until 9:00 AM, but well before that time several items had run out, and the staff seemed unwilling to refill them despite there still being time remaining. Better attention to breakfast service would improve the overall guest experience.

It's been a while since I stayed in an Econo lodge. Came here for the price but this location hasn't been updated in a while. Furniture and floors were tattered. However the beds were incredible comfortable and overall clean, just old. The worker at the front desk was very friendly. There were some shady ppl around, but that can be expected when getting a cheap hotel. But I never felt unsafe. Made good use of the washer and dryer. We didn't check out the free breakfast. Probably wouldn't stay here again bc I got spoiled on Hilton hotels, but if you're trying to save money in the Yellowstone area, it's a good deal.

The next day we finally did get moved to a different room but the lady was very rude in the beginning when we actually did tell her that the room smelled bad.

The night gal was eating when we showed up and had her dog (very cute)
