It is an amazing, luxurious resort with comfortable, spacious rooms that are wonderfully decorated and have a modern style. Overall, the amenities and aesthetics are excellent! The location is excellent, just about 25 minutes from West Yellowstone. It was the best place we stayed during our 20-day road trip. They even considered details such as scent. There were subtle air fresheners in the hallway and in the room itself. The bathroom was impeccable, though it was noticeably cold. I didn't see how to heat it up. If it had been winter, I probably would have frozen. I couldn't see how to heat the bathroom. There was a very good breakfast for meat and egg eaters, including an automatic pancake machine (just press the button), but the refilling of empty trays was very slow. There were very limited options for vegetarians, but unfortunately this is the case in most American hotels. I would really like to see more vegetables, real cheese and fresh baked goods at breakfast. Various T-shirts and sweatshirts with the Island Park logo are available for purchase in Lobby. When we arrived, it was probably from the back or in some other unusual way, we walked around the buildings for several minutes before finding the actual entrance. It would be helpful to put up some information boards with arrows pointing towards reception. The hotel staff did not seem very friendly.

Hotel was fantastic & the staff in the lobby were very friendly & helpful. The rooms were modern, fresh, clean. Mattresses were extremely comfortable. This is somewhere we will come back to because it was so great. We would recommend staying here!

Don't book with them, they lie about a low rate then they charge 10 times that. This type of nonsense needs to be stamped out! Go somewhere else that will tell you the truth. This was a total waste of time. They claim that it will be some low price and then they charge $300 for June, blatant clickbait.

Nice hotel, quiet setting

We spent 3 nights at Sawtelle on a recent trip to Yellowstone. It’s about 30 minutes from the West entrance, but it’s an easy scenic drive and you avoid the tourist traffic in W Yellowstone. There is a grocery store across the road, along with gas. Several restaurants are nearby, including one bar/restaurant just off property. We found it to be clean and modern, with a nice breakfast included. We would gladly stay here again!

Uncomfortable

My family stayed in a suite that has a private patio and hot tub. We were looking forward to the hot tub after a long travel day. The patio was filthy. The room had not been cleaned. The air conditioning did not work and the entire stay was uncomfortable.
