"The Anvil Hotel, in the town of Jackson proper, goes another way. This is a no-frills motel upgraded into something stylish." - Mark Fedeli

America's Restored Motels Have Proven Their Resilience

"The Anvil Hotel goes another way with a retro unpretentiousness, and hits the nail right on the head." - Mark Fedeli

"How did it strike you on arrival?From the outside, the main building—a renovated mid-century motel built on the foundations of a former blacksmith shop, painted a dark, inky green—looks slightly ominous. But the lobby, with a roaring cast-iron fireplace, wooden tables and benches for reading or coffee drinking, and a “mercantile” lined with beautiful (and deceptively expensive) sweaters, moccasins, and blankets—feels a bit like a Western movie-set (that you’d want to live in). Half of the rooms, including the excellent restaurant, Glorietta, are located in a second building. Nice. What’s the crowd like?A global-nomad type crowd: young, hip, and in no rush to be anywhere. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.The 49 rooms—most with double queens, a few with single kings or queens—are modest and the walls thin (request a room at the end of the hallway: 204, 208, 212). What redeems them completely is the style: custom cast-iron beds, Woolrich blankets, trendy brass light and sink fixtures, parquet flooring with kilim rugs, and beadboard walls in a frontier-chic palette of slate-grey, white, wood, and brass—all designed by Brooklyn-based Studio Tack. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?I had my eye on the cool assemblage by the minibar: an ice bucket made from a vintage ceramic dairy crock, Thunderbird Real Food bars, and (Venice Beach fave) Moon Juice “Spirit Dust.” I would definitely make off with one of the Woolrich blankets. And the Bigelow bath products. Room service: Worth it?Room service isn’t an option here. But the hotel’s restaurant, Glorietta, is outstanding. The kitchen serves up Asian twists on traditional Italian—logical, considering that the restaurant's first executive chef was from L.A.’s Pok Pok and the current chef came from Momofuku Vegas. The grilled artichoke with chili salt and aioli and whole bronizno in coconut broth were excellent, especially washed down with a craft cocktail (I’d plug the Perma Grin, with Blanco tequila, grilled pineapple, lime juice and smoked salt) dreamed up by the team behind New York City’s Death & Co. Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?Arlen, the kid working reception. His enthusiasm for Jackson Hole is infectious, and he can rattle off all of the OG legends of adrenaline sports who live there, from snowboarder Travis Rice and extreme skiing pioneer Doug Coombs, to climbing-school founders Paul Petzoldt and Glenn Exum. He’ll also steer you right if you’re looking for a good breakfast spot (Lotus, down the block), or an unusual mountain sushi resto (King Sushi). Bottom line: worth it, and why?For stylish rooms and a cozy lobby (plus, you're within walking distance from everything), the price is right—and you can put up with a little noise from your neighbor." - Alex Postman

Stayed for 1 night in room 101 and had a great stay! Was a little noisy but didn’t bother us the slightest, the hotel is very cute and boutique’ey - very well done! Biggest critique was no water in the room, which is easy enough to fix. Overall a great stay - especially if you have dogs. We’d stay there again!

Very comfortable bed! Loved the convenience to everything around us! Free parking. The complimentary coffee in the morning was also a nice touch! Whether you’re driving or flying in, I couldn’t recommend this place anymore! Usually only stay in Hilton hotels but this place is just as good if not better!

Got stuck in room 101 even though when we made our reservation there wasn’t a single room booked. Floor is pulling up, shower pressure is barely noticeable. We have stayed here before and it was a lot better years ago. All we heard all day was people coming and going, people working in the office area, doors closing first thing in the morning. Except better - would not have a door or access like this right outside a room not ideal for relaxation or quiet.

Nice hotel. Clean rooms. It seems recently updated. Parking is a bit of a crime, seems like more rooms then car-parking spots available. We stayed in October. The room can get cold, the heating vent is working hard to keep the room on 60-65. Overall, clean, good location, walk distance to coffee/dinner/downtown. Friendly staff.

I’ve stayed at Anvil twice now. It’s a passable hotel. It’s clean… that’s about all the good parts. We have an ESA animal and both times I’ve stayed here I have provided proof. They promise not to charge me for it and then the bill at the end comes and what do you know. We are charged for having a pet. Not professional as an establishment. This is the last time we stay with them.

I can’t boast about this darling hotel enough to do it justice. I seek out hotels that embody the charm of place and the Anvil checks every box. The crew that runs this place has to be some of the nicest folks on earth. But a special shout-out to Cortney and Emma whom made our stay exceptional from the minute we walked into the lobby. We will without a doubt be back!

I'm going to give this 5 stars, since I was upgraded from Cache House, which was closed for refurbishment. Doesn't seem fair to put my review in Cache House, since I stayed in Anvil; and doesn't seem to knock off stars for the hotel, when I was paying Cache House prices. But anyway... Good points: - common area is very beautiful, nicely decorated - common area open 24 hours 🙌 - staff were fine with my eating my own food in common area - staff super friendly - had my own room; didn't have to worry about being woken up by other people, having to fight over the A/C temperature etc 😅 - good location, very central to Jackson central area, just a few minutes walk from the center - half an hour walk or so from Snow King Mountain - I had a nice fridge in the room - very quiet (I mean, I wear ear-plugs anyway, from force of habit; I can no longer sleep without them 😅 But I never heard anything when I wasn't wearing them) Bad points: - no bike, even though booking.com presentation promised me one - I'd like a self service microwave please ideally :) There is a microwave, but have to ask the staff to use it, which limits its usefulness, for anything mildly complicated - water in showers wasn't piping hot, and I do like piping hot showers :)

Smallest hotel room I have been in, but it was clean, comfortable, quiet, and a rustic quaint. It was a prime walkable location for what I call old town Jackson. There was coffee in the lobby, but not in the room that is really the only negative thing I can say.

Janelle L.

This is a great remodel of an old spot. From the looks and configuration of my room it looks like they moved a few interior walls around. The color palette of the room is dark, so as far as I could tell, everything was pretty clean. I do have two complaints. One is that the parquet floors were a little creaky and a few squares seem to be loose and prying away. Two, the walls facing the street and near the exterior stairways are thin. We could loudly hear people trudging upstairs in the wee early morning hours. If you're not rebuilding, I'd use heavier finish materials to deaden the sound. We had fantastic service from the front desk. Dalton, I think was his name, was SO helpful and friendly! I believe the front desk is only open from 7 am to 10 pm. After 10, you must call security for any help. Parking is slim pickings BUT you are allowed to park on any one of their properties which are a short walk through an alley away. I'd most definitely stay here again.

Since most cafe in Jackson close at 6-7pm. This is your only choice or you can go to McDonald's or gas station for some caffeine. It is inside a hotel, and it has little coffee setup behind the front desk. Don't sleep on it, every cup is freshly press with attentions. They also sell a bunch of gifts and merchandise at the front lobby

Yelp

This hotel is like that show catfish on MTV. Chances of me coming here again are 0%. Staff was actually wonderful and very accommodating but the owner of this place basically bought a decrepit motel 8 repainted it and threw in some different light fixtures. Too much to put in a review.. spend the extra money and stay somewhere else

Nanette H.

Yelp

Room 404 was dark, depressing and nowhere near worth $600 a night. I had to walk around to the back corner off site. Then they had the audacity to charge an extra $106 which they said the 3rd party booking agent, HotelOne, should have told me about. Total rip-off

Christopher F.

Yelp

This hotel is reminiscent of a time gone by as in the movie "A River Runs Through it." We stayed here last year in early July. The nostalgic decorating in the rooms and the coffee gift shop were endearing. The ladies at the desk were helpful. We thought the price was too high for the accommodations and presentation. Otherwise a nice stay.

I normally don't leave reviews for hotels because I'm more of a foodie/coffee/wine snob, but this place deserves a review because the Anvil staff are spectacular. We originally planned to only stay one night, and ended up staying FOUR nights. I would be lying if I said it wasn't for the customer service, but seriously, their customer service is out of this world. It's amazing. The first two nights we stayed in the Glenwood King room, which was basic--no A/C, but that's totally fine because it actually stayed really cool without it during the day. And in the evening, we just opened up the windows and let the cool air circulate through. It was spacious and comfortable. The other two nights, we stayed in the building across from the Glenwood with a Queen bed. The room is definitely a lot smaller, but still comfy and cozy. This room had A/C--although honestly, I think I prefer the room without because you're able to open up the windows whereas the air conditioning unit in the Queen room is stuck in the window, so the windows are bolted shut. The rooms are all really cute and tidy. Housekeeping does an amazing job! We were so incredibly fortunate to have the pleasure of meeting Michelle, Carolina, and Sofia who were working the front desk. All the staff we interacted with were so sweet and pleasant. Michelle, Carolina, and Sofia went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute plans and make our entire stay so enjoyable and memorable. My friend had to work almost 99% of the time, so thankfully the wifi was strong and reliable. To accommodate his work schedule, we were also given a very generous late checkout time, which really made a huge difference. Like I said, the staff go above and beyond for their guests. Michelle and Sofia also make an amazing latte! Yes, you should definitely try their coffee! Also, they have happy hour from 4-6pm. They serve a delicious spiked lemonade with a bit of jalapeno spice--which really makes the drink pop! I cannot recommend Anvil Hotel enough. The amazing staff truly make you feel at home and so comfortable. I will most certainly be returning with my family and friends in the future, and book at least a week!

We loved staying at The Anvil! The aesthetic of this hotel is so cute and modern. They clearly put a lot of time and thought into the renovation. We LOVED the daily happy hour. From 4-6 each day there was a free drink (spiked mochas our first day and rum punch our second day) and live music in the lobby. Really fun! The rooms are cute and well decorated. The showers are HUGE with great pressure. Extra large towels. The bed isn't the most comfortable, but the other perks of this hotel outweigh that. The hotel is walking distance from the downtown area- all restaurants and shopping in walking distance. Cannot recommend highly enough for the price point!

Love everything about this adorable and cozy hotel. Great vibe, super cute, wonderful beds and towels!

To be fair, this is a good hotel, good rooms. In the morning, the girl at the reception really tried to help me. But overall I had a bad impression of this place. When booking I paid in full for the room. But when I arrived at the hotel, they charged me another deposit (which no one warned about in advance) of $100. And they charged me 2 more payments. And in the morning, when leaving the hotel, I was told that my room had not yet been paid for. Never use Hotwire to book anything!

Sarah B.

Yelp

We loved our stay at Anvil, located close to the main square which allowed us to really explore and enjoy Jackson at all hours of the day/night. Rooms are boutique, chic, and simple. Simple in a good way and decorated so uniquely that makes you feel homey. The lobby provides drip coffee although we did not indulge as COVID has now affect gatherings and Sharing's like that - they are limiting lobby time and encouraging groups not to gather inside, hours are also shortened. Staff isn't the most friendly but check in process was quick and easy, check out was express and contactless. Bed was super comfortable and the rooms were clean. We highly recommend staying here while in Jackson!

Your hotel is not a hotel, it's a Motel and the renovation is still happening. Our room was a joke. The parking is not good at all. First come first serve so you can not even have your car close unless your first. The alternative is to park a block away and walk with your luggage because there's no loading zone. Do yourself a favor and pay more for some place else. Oh!! At 3:00 AM the trash truck will be by to make sure your awake. This place is really noisy so not a good place to get sleep.

Taylor W.

Yelp

The location and the lobby are the only reason why I even gave this place 2 stars. The front desk staff is RUDE. Horrible and I repeat HORRIBLE customer service. When we walked in the very first time no one greeted us, they rolled their eyes at us multiple times and very in no way helpful. No one cleaned our room for the 3 days we were there. I had to ask a restaurant near by for toilet paper bc the hotel didn't give us enough. The only time our room was clean was at 930 am on the day of check out before we even checked out. We left for breakfast and came back to collect the last of our things to see that the cleaning people had already gone through everything and so shocked when we came in. Like all the other reviews said, pay more to stay somewhere else because this place is not worth it.

Leinoa K.

Yelp

This place was less than pleasant. The front desk workers, one gal in particular was so rude and had the nastiest attitude. She should be fired for her lack of friendliness and accommodation. We asked if there was a water filling station and she told us that we could go to the store and buy bottled water. You think I don't know that? We bring our own bottles to be mindful I'm not an idiot unlike the gal who is literally the face of the hotel. The room was disgusting to say the least. The wool blanket had dog hair imbedded throughout the entire thing. There was long white dog hair everywhere and everyday that we got ready to head out we had to dust our clothes off bc we were covered in hair. The floor was filthy. The shower head shot out water in every direction so good luck if you don't want to get your hair wet. There was a hole in the bottom of our door letting sub zero temperatures in and the noise! You could hear people talking clear as day that were either walking by or staying in adjacent rooms. This is obviously a dog hotel bc there were dogs barking all through the day and night. The restaurant located on the property was fantastic and the complimentary hot tea that you could get at the lobby was a nice touch but certainly does not make up for the very poor quality of the rooms and service by the front desk. I would not stay here again if you paid me! Location was good and close to everything but the place itself is a dump! This is not a hotel btw it certainly is a motel and a crappy one at that. Be warned.

I'm pretty loyal to Marriott hotels these days, but in the case of the Anvil Hotel, I'm glad we went outside the Bonvoy membership. Well worth the risk. Anvil was offering a special 20% off regularly priced rooms for July overnight stays, if you booked by end of May. So a room that was normally $250+ in the summertime ended up being closer to $200/night. Still a pretty penny but that's what you pay for just about everything in Jackson. I can see why Yelpers love this converted motel. It's got charm, well designed, and the location cannot be beat. Our queen room was small, but had everything needed, including a hair dryer, comfortable mattress, as well as C.O. Bigelow bath products. And a big, flat screen TV which was enjoyed both nights of the stay. The small minuses were the parking -- it wasn't terribly busy when we arrived on July 3 and finding parking wasn't fun. And again, the prices are higher than one might expect for relatively basic accommodations; however, it's in the heart of Jackson and you better pay up big time if you want to roll super posh.

Yelp

We Stayed at this hotel in September, 2023 for 2 nights. We paid over 300.00 a night. The lobby is Cozy and attractive but that's where it stops. We stayed in room 303. The room is old with loose parque wood flooring that made a crunchy sound and feeling under your feet and would wake your spouse at night. The bathroom smelled of mold so bad you had to keep the door shut and exhaust fan on so it would not smell up the sleeping room. The sink, which is located in the bedroom, gurgles loudly every time the adjacent rooms use their faucets as the plumbing drains are shared also annoying when your trying to sleep. We would not stay there again even if it meant not going to Jackson.

Nicole J.

Yelp

This hotel just needs some work. Rooms are tiny, bed wouldn't fit someone taller than 5,8. Rooms are dark, it is very hard to see in daylight. Things that were broken: bathroom door, window, shower shelf, tv. Stains on wall and no proper window shade to block out light at night and shade covers the ac so you get no air flow if you want privacy. No happy hour on weekends despite hotel offering that at checkin and you only get one free cup of coffee in the mornings.

Irina P.

Yelp

I can't believe we paid for this $600 per night! Cute photos, horrible hotel. We travel a lot and I know what you can get for $600 per night in top cities like LA, NY, DC and yes, Bozeman. This place was a mistake to book - the room had 0 charm, crappy old furniture and odd curtain in the bathroom. The bathroom is the tiniest bathroom I've seen in a long time and there's like 0 place for your clothes if you want to take shower. Yes, it's somewhat updated, but seen better days. Also - the room is booked for 2 adults and they barely have any shower gel enough for one - who the hell even does it? The room is way too dark - there's just not enough light. If feels sad and depressing. Not well set up, as the others said, it's barely enough room for 2 adults and some bags. Luckily I've booked only for 2 nights, otherwise it would have ruined the entire vacay. If you can get this for like $170 per night - maybe, but definitely not more. I'm giving two starts for the location and parking.

Greg C.

The front desk hostess was rude. We had only one towel. No parking. For a town that exists only due to tourism, I am so unimpressed and disgusted. Never stay here again.

Linda G.

My family booked 2 rooms for 6 nights total at Anvil Hotel in June. We also encouraged my brother-in-law to stay there as well. So essentially we booked 3 rooms and spent a decent amount altogether. All of the rooms were very far from each other, even though when I booked, I requested we all be close together. The hotel and lobby were "cute" - but that was about it. Our room was small and very little amenities. They said there was a refrigerator in the room, but it was completely stocked with their overpriced minibar and drinks. We had to take everything out to be able to use it - which later we saw on our account that we were charged for using the minibar (which we didn't). There's no coffee in the room, you had to walk to the lobby where someone poured you a cup of drip coffee if you were lucky (one day they said they were out and were brewing another pot which would have been a 15 minute wait). They also claimed there was a nightly happy hour in the lobby - which we never saw. In fact, one night I asked about it, and someone from the front desk pointed to the Glorietta restaurant and told me they had drinks over there... Kinda confused I thought I must have misread the advertised "complimentary happy hour." The second room we booked was dark and stuffy. You could open the window, but it was right on a busy hallway and very loud. It also was right across from very loud deck construction / remodel that started apx 8:00 am every morning. - No one told us this when we checked in, nor did our rate get reduced for the inconvenience. I was willing to overlook these little annoyances because the location in Jackson was awesome, and for the most part we had a decent stay there. It was clean and mostly comfortable. However that warm fuzzy feeling completely crumbled when they mistakenly double charged one of our rooms. I noticed the error on my credit card statement a couple weeks later, and immediately called Anvil to get the charge refunded. No one answered or called me back to sort out the confusion. I've called and left messages 3 times now and sent 2 emails to resolve this error. Much to my dismay, they haven't refunded the gross over charge (close to $2000!) instead they incorrectly charged my card yet again another $1900! So now they have since overcharged close to $4000 (including that wrong mini-bar charge) and absolutely no one from Anvil has gotten back to me. I don't normally post these types of reviews but I'm just so frustrated with my experience and the lack of regard from Anvil. I've since filed a dispute with my credit card company.

Was really looking forward to staying here. The good: right in the mix of downtown so you can park (free! Which is rare for "boutique" hotels) and walk instead of having to drive. The lobby is cute and the free coffee in the mornings is nice. The meh: rooms were cute online but definitely aged - whoever their architect/designer was didn't really account for how high traffic these rooms will be and with rough treatment due to skis, hiking boots, etc. Our bathroom had a piece of cracked glass in the window. Rooms were very small and not well laid out. 2 adults in one room with bags felt very crowded and chaotic. The bad; the price. I've stayed at a number of motel turned boutique hotels all over the country and this was the least "luxury" of the lot with the highest price. Between the cracked window, the peeling paint on the vanity backsplash, the curling cork floors, I wouldn't have balked at paying ~175 LESS than what we paid, but at 790 for 2 nights it was incredibly overpriced. I get that Jackson in high season can support this cost but when I pay less for a 3 star joint in any other tourist city in the country and have real in-room amenities I have to ask if I got swindled. Regardless - bed was comfy and being close to downtown and not in Driggs was valuable. Will I stay again? Probably not. Edited for typos

Very comfortable hotel in the center of town. The decor is traditional and cozy. The rooms are basic (in a very good way). They have complementary drip coffee in the lobby and a boozy coco happy hour. The staff are kind but are not particularly friendly or helpful (then again most of the people in Jackson are that way)

Kind of pricey but also booked last minute. Doing the whole national park thing so we only needed a place to sleep. Prime location for Tetons and Jackson hole area. It's like a soft pecker, you can't beat it.

Alex W.

Yelp

Decided on this hotel given we were staying in Jackson during high season. The hotel itself is nice although the rooms are rather small. As we were here for 6 nights, it was quite a challenge given they weren't cleaning rooms or providing standard amenities like towels or toiletries. Although they allow you to request a cleaning, it doesn't get done until the end of of the day, so you have no time to go in the room and clean up before an evening dinner. Extremely disappointed given the rate we are paying. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else!

John G.

Yelp

I was excited to stay at Anvil and wanted to love the experience but it fell short in just about every way. The hotel lobby and shop are lovely. The complimentary coffee and daily happy hour are a nice touch. Yet, this is somewhat limited in its effectiveness as a community builder given that every time we went, we were greeted by the same gentleman (as was the case anytime we approached the desk) with a rather gruff and accusatory "are you staying at the hotel?" I expect no special treatment and understand there are other establishments and lots of foot traffic. But you would think after our 8th meeting there would be some familiarity. To it's credit, Anvil has an outstanding location nestled just adjacent to downtown with easy access to airport and parks. But the rooms are quite small and the lighting is inadequate without opening the window blinds (which of course is awkward to do in a motel concept). We were tripping over each other much of the week with flashlights. Toiletries are nice but bathrooms are exceptionally small. The main issue with the hotel is that it can't seem to decide if it wants to be a budget or luxury boutique option. Pricing and lobby/shop suggest the latter. Rooms and service suggest the former. In peak season we paid on average 550-600 a night (when we checked in, the man at the desk commented on how much cheaper another guest had booked the room by booking earlier... which could have been left unsaid). With COVID it is certainly understandable that some procedural changes are needed. But no such protocol was ever explained so I'm not sure if the lack of accommodations are standard or not. That being said, we had to empty the trash daily and never had cleaning services. We had to go to the desk on several occasions during our 5 night stay to ask for towels, toilet paper, and new trash bags. Each time we felt to be an imposition on the staff. The last day when we checked out, there were 2 women working who were much kinder than their counterparts earlier in the week. Bottom line, at this price point, one expects more and has options. Would recommend staying elsewhere, and saving your trip to Anvil for a momentary glance at the boutique or dinner at Glorietta.

The placed looked cute and charming, and the staff was friendly, but it was SO LOUD. Some of the worst sound proofing I've ever encountered in any building I've ever been in. I could hear every time the people above me walked across the floor or even rolled their suitcase. Any time a door closed in the building, I could hear a SLAM in my room. The building is on a busy corner where buses go by regularly, so there's a surprising amount of traffic noise for a small town. If you're staying here, you'll want to bring a white noise machine / app.

Booked last minute for our last, spontaneous night in Jackson Hole through Hotel Tonight app. The hotel is conveniently located downtown Jackson Hole by all the shops and restaurants. Our room was super tiny but had many elements of luxury. Staff was accommodating and friendly. Very charming hotel room.

Stephanie Y.

Jackson is super expensive, lets get that out of the way. Anvil Hotel was one of the cheaper options, but still a little bougie, but again, still way too much for what it was. This is an old motel with a hipster facelift. The room is fine, not huge, but doable and the bed is actually comfy, and kudos for having HBO or Showtime (I forget which one). It's right in the middle of the downtown area and super close to a ton of restaurants, bars, shops, etc.. Why three stars? It wasn't quite lavish, it was just a facelift. The shower curtain was flimsy and plasticy (but kudos for Bigelow & Co products), my hubs killed a spider and I definitely woke up with 2 spider bites, there was an issue with parking as they were doing some landscaping work, and it was 'good luck on parking or find some on the street!' It's loud. People getting up early to go explore, means you're up early. Also, no free coffee in the ever so hipster and cute lobby that you actually only need to go to for check-in and check-out. No maps, no free anything for that matter - no water in the room (it's the mountains and that high elevation). Anything that would have added a nice touch, they did none of it. It felt very transactional. All good, but I mean Jackson is known for its charm and sadly Anvil lacked it. Overall, a solid stay. I'd 100% stay again if this proves to be the cheapest option of any of the nice hotels, but I'd 100% be no the search to see if I could find a better deal somewhere else. Wifi was free and strong.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel this past wkd and it did not disappoint! We received excellent customer service from start to finish. The pillows and the bed provided the most comfortable sleep I've had in a hotel. I wish I could've brought those pillows back. The showers were amazing as well. The rooms are smaller than most hotels but make up in comfort. The cherry on top is that they offer complimentary hot chocolate with cognac from 4-8pm! Will definitely be staying here again next time I visit.

Cute hotel in Jackson - did a great job with the remodel. Free, good coffee with stay. Only downside is the price noted online + over the phone does not include taxes, was very surprised to get the bill and see all the additional fees and a different price than quoted.

Stephanie D.

Yelp

I actually had a nice time staying in the hotel and the rooms were very convenient but when I got home I realized I left something in the room and it's just disappeared into thin air. Things happen, but I would recommend that anyone staying at the hotel makes sure that they keep their stuff locked up tight.

Eric N.

Yelp

To be honest, this place was a big letdown for the price. Stayed in the Glorrietta buliding. Small room. Bed was comfortable enough. Room was clean. We were here in Summer and it was hot outside. First room they put us in did not have an AC window unit. The second room they gave us had a sizeable gap below the AC unit. That's right, a hole to the outside. I guess I just expect more for over 300 dollars a night. Can't really say I was sad to move on after one night.

Polly T.

Yelp

Paid way too much for a small room up two flights of stairs... parking was not close to the room, no one offered for help with baggage, this was summer so I think winter may be more difficult to maneuver around this disjointed floor plan, plus carry ski's up the stairs where the sign says, 'watch out stairs get slippery' ... masks are a must wear, even though the state dropped the mandate.... Too expensive for too little comfort

Tom R.

Yelp

Anvil hotel was clean and cute. Love the location. Room was warm (winter day) and bathroom was upgraded. I reserved two rooms (1 queen and 2 queens) and ultimately received my request. Check-in was slow because they could not find my second reservations but ultimately, they just 'gave' me a room (both were already pre-paid via my reservation). My son and I stayed in the 2 queen bed room which was located in the back-lot building on the main floor of a 2 floor building. My stay was expensive $250/night/room for a motel but it was a holiday weekend in a resort community. Overall, I feel the price was fair given the quality of hotel/rooms. Being a motel, cars are parked outside your door and people walk by throughout the night. Being a motel, I expected this arrangement. Unfortunately, we had a group/family/kids (??) staying above our room. The walls and ceiling/floor must be thin because we could hear the upstairs guests easily and loudly. I can only imagine, based on the sounds, that the upstairs group was jumping up and down while wearing ski boots. The noise was loud and constant. I felt their noise was intentional (gives you a perspective on how annoying and difficult to sleep with what felt like the ceiling "crashing" on top of me during the night). The noise was very loud and started at 8pm. By 12, I called the front desk and left a voicemail seeking assistance. At 12;15am, I called the "after hours" line and left a text (voicemail not an option). No response during the night. No action with the upstairs noise. No sleep for me that night. The next morning during check-out, I asked the front desk staff about my messages. The clerk could not find either message. I showed her my text and phone calls. She was apologetic. Regardless, how can a 'premium' hotel fail to receive, address and resolve these types of issues, especially during a busy holiday weekend. What if we had a fire? Or some other issue? Sleepless in Jackson WY.

We mostly really enjoyed our stay. Wanted to stay in Grand Teton National Park, but securing lodging there takes a lot of pre-planning or luck. This worked out well - not a long ride to the park from Jackson. Obviously being close to all the restaurants is convenient as well. This is a boutique hotel so all the things people complain about are exactly what drew us to stay here - small, attractive, simple rooms with everything you need but nothing you don't. Complementary happy hour drink upon check in was a huge plus. C.O. Bigelow products for the bathroom that smelled awesome were another plus (love it when hotels provide full sized bottles so there's no need to try to ration to make the shampoo last your stay), and having the sink outside the bathroom was also great - made getting ready much easier. The lobby space was a nice inviting place to hang out and drink our complementary coffee in the morning. Minor complaint is that the coffee was pretty awful - but it's hard to complain when it's free. The outdoor seating (chairs outside of rooms, and a small deck near the lobby) is nice too... but this brings me to my first major complaint: there's another westward facing deck that's up higher where we were hoping to sit and watch the sunset. The higher deck is accessible only to the owner's apartment. No owner to be seen the whole time we were there. Would it really be so bad to allow guests to use that deck when you're not there? It would be an awesome amenity. Complaint number two: the parking situation. This has been mentioned in other reviews but it really is a problem. Several times we returned to our hotel to find no parking in any lots or on the street we were told we could park on. Having to circle for awhile to locate parking proved frustrating. Parking is at a premium in Jackson so I don't think there's much the hotel can do, but it is an annoyance.

Love. This. Place. Perfect vibe we were looking for during our stay in Jackson. Rustic feel with the proper upgrades in the right areas. Hanging out in the lobby lounge is perfect for sipping a hot cup of coffee and chatting with the friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Older hotel that has been remodeled to more modern standards right in the heart of Jackson. Comfortable beds, nice deck overlooking Jackson to have a cocktail, or coffee on. Not many other amenities though. No pool was a bummer. Rooms were fine, and free coffee in the reception area (which was very good). Location made it great for going into downtown Jackson, as the main square was 1-2 blocks away.

Next time I will definitely be staying elsewhere. They said our room would definitely be ready at 4, and it wasn't ready until after 5. While that may not seem like the biggest inconvenience, the front desk was not at all helpful. We received no estimate of when our room would actually be ready, we were only told just that they couldn't rush it and they would call us when it was ready. We never received a call. The actual room had trash in it from the previous guest and the shower wouldn't stop dripping. I suggest looking elsewhere.

The room must had converted from old motel building to rename the hotel The room was very small and dark and lack of amenities This hotel advertises another name on the website under the name of Cache house with a much cheaper rate but it is a hostel . Many people don't pay attention like me until You arrive here to check-in My over all experience at this hotel was not pleasant and it doesn't deserve at all for 3&1/2 star

I can not recommend this Jackson Hole hotel to enough people. The location is great - a block from town square - and the folks who work there are terrific. My room felt more like a room at home - cozy, warm and well appointed. Would definitely stay there again should my travels bring me back to Jackson Hole.

The location of the hotel was great. Right in the middle of town. The room was fine and clean. No microwave though. The room was so noisy. The people above us stomped around in their room all night keeping us awake. Noisiest hotel I've ever been in. Also not ADA compliant. No ramps or elevator. We had to carry our adult daughter with special needs up and down stairs. We did request a first floor room but they didn't have any available when we got there. The handicap parking can only be used with a tiny compact car.

Anvil is a cute boutique hotel located near the center of Jackson. Everything you need is within walking distance, which is worth the price. The rooms aren't fancy, but they're clean and charming, if a little cramped. High ceilings are nice. We also appreciated being able to park right outside our ground floor room, which made loading and unloading the car super easy. The lobby is quaint with room to sit and drink a cup of coffee, which they have on site. Our room was listed at $300 but they gave it to us for $250, which still seemed a little high for mid-October in the middle of Covid, but the place was full, so what do I know? We were comfortable, and the only thing that would prevent me from staying there again is the price.

Enjoyed our stay. A quick trip to Jackson with most of the day spent outdoors. Comfy Bed, good A/C, cool shower, fridge, TV, and a comfortable lobby. Has all the basics done in a good way. Central location within a few blocks of the main square. On site restaurant glorietta is a stunner as well.

Very cute little place. The location was amazing and we were a few blocks from everything! I enjoyed the decor of the place which had an old western theme. I didn't love that the quilt they put on the bed is the same quilt everyone else uses (and probably doesn't get washed between). Very small room. My partner and I kept running into each other when one was standing at the sink and the other was coming out of the bathroom.

Probably one of the more economical options in Jackson. Anywhere else you'd laugh at the size of the rooms and the thickness of the walls as at its core, it still is just a motel. In Jackson however, this 250$ motel room is acceptable value. Once you accept this is just an old motel with some design touches, it becomes clear how well that concept is executed. From La Marzocco Coffee machines to the stylish lobby, I would certainly consider staying here again when in Jackson.

March stay. Snowed. Skied. Used hotel tonight discount booking site, paid $122 per night. Wanted to love the Anvil. Price seems high given what's not provided. Low price for last minute room lured us in. Definitely would explore other, better options well in advance before considering staying here again. Pros: Location right off the town Square & easy walking distance to shops, spas, restaurants and recreation center. Close to Snow King. Free good coffee and hot tea but only in lobby during times it is staffed. Decent attempt at rustic decor considering this was a throwback dated motel converted to a boutique-wannabe motel with separate buildings. Proximity to Glorietta restaurant. Cons: minuscule room, ~3 feet either side of double bed, ~4 feet from the foot of the bed to the wall. Bed short, barely fit 6 foot companion. Heard guests next to us speaking in a normal voice and all people walking outside. Sink inside the bedroom at foot of bed next to bathroom - no way for the person trying to sleep to be able to rest during middle of the night hand washing or toilet use and flushing, and you can't turn the sink light on because that glares directly onto the bed. Bathroom next to sink, separate room w/door containing toilet & shower (could hear everything if you know what I mean). Shower collected enough water to spill over onto the floor during a brief shower. Janky lock on bathroom window (Ground floor). Had to leave bathroom door closed when not in use because otherwise we couldn't walk on that side of the bed. Room had no chairs, no dresser, had small rack; closet had deep shelves & only one tiny place to hang winter clothes. 4 short wooden rods mounted to the wall next to the bed at room door to hang coats. Walk into room from entry door at side of bed. No microwave, no mini-refrigerator, no coffee maker. Wi-Fi didn't work for laptop with VPN. Abysmal, snarky support. Told me to go to the library to work. This alone is a nonstarter. Had to buy hotspot. But, no place to work in the room (no desk, no chair) no separate area; went to the tiny lobby (but only during staffed hours) to work that to its credit had seating on the ground floor and up one flight of stairs but there's very little privacy and lots of noise: front desk answering phone calls, waiting on people coming in and out of the lobby entrance, & people coming out of the second floor halls where the upstairs seating is. If you don't need to work via VPN while here, if you don't mind the other inconveniences, and if you can get a cheap room rate the Anvil might be for you.

I did not want to leave this cozy little place. The atmosphere is a perfect mix of charming, cozy, and modern. The service was amazing and we felt taken care of the whole time. Also the perk of free coffee was a win- we both loved the brew they used! We also went to the restaurants happy hour and had some wonderful appetizers and wine. It made for a relaxing evening just walking across from your room straight into the restaurant. The overall location was a huge perk to us as we were able to walk everywhere in town! Loved our stay here!

An adorable little remodeled hipster hotel with a prime location. One of the more reasonably priced (while still pricey--I mean, you ARE in Jackson Hole). They have all the little details you want from a hotel room...a happy hour with a free drink, coffee & tea selection, great linens, yummy shampoo & soaps. The rooms are very small but not unexpectedly so. The lobby/check in area is decorated so nicely and is welcoming for those who want to hang out outside of their rooms. Staff is helpful. They allow dogs for a price and they even have little Pendleton beds available (did I mention hipster cute).
