My wife and I drove through Yellowstone National Park, from Gardiner, MT, to Cooke City, MT, on December 16, 2012, to view wildlife and do some XC skiing. We stopped at this facility for a quick bite to eat before our return trip. The service in the dining room was very slow and of very poor quality. The waitress seemed... More

I have been staying at the Soda Butte Lodge in the winter and the summer for over 25 years. The best place to stay in the Yellowstone area during the summer, best rates and close proximatey to the park. Drive in and out of the park via the Lamar Valley and see Bears, Wolves, Buffalo and other wildlife (summer and... More

Room was clean and well-appointed. Service was spotty in the inn and the attached restaurant--ranging from friendly/helpful to cool/disinterested. In September, things are starting to slow so perhaps staffing is an issue. No elevator, no rooms on ground floor, and no one to help with luggage so be prepared to haul your things up a flight of stairs. Parking is... More

Only stayed one night at this Motel/Hotel. Rooms were accessed from inside the building. Not sure how old the building is but the floors, although carpeted, were uneven and creaked when you walked on them. My daughter made the comment that the colors of the carpet, walls, etc. reminded her of the Hotel in the movie "The Shining"! We had... More

We got into town a little later that we anticipated and after driving through the Pass we decided we really needed some beer. It was only 9pm so we figured we were good on time. Well the kitchen was closed as we were immediately informed as we walked in the door, it seemed like the hostess wished that would send... More

We stayed 1 night here while we were visiting Yellowstone. Next time, we will just plan to stay there the whole time. We liked the location to our favorite places in the park. This is not a fancy place and it is definitely older, but it more than met our expectations. It was neat, clean, and tidy. We really liked... More

My Family and I stopped at the Soda Butte Lodge for lunch after taking the Beartooth Pass. It was 1:30 in the afternoon on a Sunday, and in the restaurant there was only 9 other people. We are a group of 7 and thought we would get quick service. Wrong! We waited over 30 minutes for our food( basic lunch... More

I stayed again at the Soda Butte Lodge. The room was spotless. I slept so good....window open for freah mountain breeze..sound of the creek was priceless. There was a band scheduled to play for brunch Sunday morning and supriswd everyone by playing a few tunes Saturday evening. Food was EXCELLENT!! What a fun place to be!!!!!

If you are going to stay in Cooke City, I recommend the Soda Butte Lodge. Although a little dated, the rooms are very clean and beds comfy. The restaurant and bar there are a nice convenience and the food was good! The new public restrooms are beautiful. Can't wait to go again...
