Alpine Motel

Great place to stay. Very clean. Owners are very nice people. Stayed 3 nights and by the end, my kids could not leave without saying bye to them.

Bryan and Patty are the best! Very friendly, helpful people. Room was very clean, large fluffy towels, comfortable. The owners go out of their way for the people staying with them. Will stay there again!

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!

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! Thanks again Brian for such an amazing hospitality! Kash & Erika

Great little «neck of the woods». Owners were super nice and the place was clean and quiet. The location was perfect! Cabin bathroom is small but worked for us fine. I would stay here again and I will be recommending to friends.

What a wonderful experience! Brian (Hey buddy!) and his wife are so warm and welcoming. When we arrived Brian gave us a full tour of their motel (it only takes 5 minutes and he does a great job explaining everything), they were very accommodating as I wanted to leave a key for a friend coming to join me, they have excellent dining and hiking recommendations, and even lent me a wine bottle opener. The facility is very clean and they provide high quality towels and soaps. I absolutely recommend staying here!

This is an older property but it is kept immaculate. And the customer service beats out any large chain hotel I’ve ever stayed at. I stay about 30 – 40 nights a year in hotels and would highly recommend Alpine Motel.

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.

My wife and I were visiting Yellowstone as we make our way across the United States. We both appreciated how this motel is run by Brian and Patti. They run the operation themselves and take care of everything.
Brian will not only make you comfortable within the motel he will also give you local insight as to places to eat while staying in West Yellowstone. Patty takes care of the individual rooms.
I heartily agree with the other reviews. Very nice couple who want to make your stay a positive experience.

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.

AMAZING!!! The rooms are decorated so adorable, the bed was very comfortable, the price is incredibly reasonable, and it’s couldn’t be in a better location! I will stay here every visit to Yellowstone!

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.

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.

Alpine Motel is awesome — my wife and I recently trekked around UT, MT, ID and WY and out of all the places we stayed this place stood out. Brian and Patty are exceptional owners, with lots of good local suggestions and advice. The rooms were clean, easy parking access, and the provided amenities (such as luxury soaps, skin care, etc) were fantastic. I would absolutely recommend Alpine Motel as the place to stay if you’re in Yellowstone!

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!

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.

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 über 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!

Consider yourself lucky if you can get a room, because it will be one of the highlights of your stay in West Yellowstone. Unlike a chain motel, this is more like traveling used to be, when service was very important. This is not a lodge, or a resort, but a tiny motel tucked into the side street. Want to sleep under a heavy quilt with a pine tree at your window? Got you covered! Want a very clean room only two blocks from the park? Ditto. Want management who takes your comfort VERY seriously, providing amenities you didn’t even know you needed? Try the Alpine, and you’ll take home fond memories of this little gem.

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.

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!
