Caribou Lodge and Motel

Inn

We stayed here on a road trip from Bozeman to Vegas. It was inexpensive and at the halfway point. Much cheaper than Jackson Hole! Rooms were very basic and also very hot. Pet friendly was a plus.

Was a nice little hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Not maintained neatly most of the electrical equipments such as refrigerator, room heater etc are not working.

A retro-quality experience. Built in 1949, I can't compare this to modern hotels. We stayed in room 30, in the building on the left of the parking lot. A very simple, small room. Knotty pine used throughout. With both a double and a queen bed, the room was tight. Unfortunately, the mini refrigerator didn't work. I verified the power was on. We couldn't figure out if the unit over the bed was an air conditioner or a heater, or how to turn it on. I went to the front desk on a late Friday afternoon for help but no one was there. So we opened the windows and used the fan found in the closet. The bathroom was also simple. A single light over a small mirror. A 1940's era sink that constantly dripped hot water but when turned on, only gave a very small volume of hot water. The shower pressure on the other hand would have been useful to power wash my car. We wanted to check out and pay using a different card at 8:25 am on Memorial Day. A sign informed us the desk had been closed all day Sunday and would reopen at 8:30. At 8:35 we went to breakfast instead and returned to pay later. I saw one of the rooms on the first floor of the main building and it was roomier. For the price, I'd recommend two rooms rather than one room with two beds. If they hauled the broken concrete away from the back of the parking lot, gave the hotel got a much needed paint job, and added a few plants to fill the empty dirt outside the rooms, it might qualify as quaint.

Loved the area people very very friendly and it had a very home feeling. Coffee was awesome!

I had a great stay here. It was nice and quiet, if a bit too warm. We ended up turning the radiator off and opening up the window, even though it was around 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside. The room was cozy, if a bit dated, and my only complaint would have to be the shower/tub that was built for stick figures. It was quite a bit skinny in there. Other tthan that, the staff were all super nice, and the bed was pretty comfy. It was so quiet, too. It was relaxing.
