Livingston Inn

Pleasantly surprised. We arrived after hours, and our room was toasty warm- perfect when coming in from 4 degrees after midnight. Bed was extremely comfortable, and room was very clean. Everything was perfect. We’d stay here again and skip the national brand hotels across the street.

Best place to stay hands down any day, whether it's winter or summer your comfort is what matters the most to the owners of this place. Super soft king size bed in my room, nice comfy recliner what more can you ask for. Oh and can't forget the coffee in the rooms, actual kcups and liquid creamers. I was here for not so great reasons but I will definitely be back to stay again in the not so distant future but for vacation to relax. Laundromat in the same parking lot. Lots of shopping near by. This place is great..... Thanks for your hospitality.

The room was stuffy and the sheets were a bit scratchy. The toilet also had some issues with flushing (room 10). The place was located by grocery stores and a good coffee shop. There are EV chargers right across the street too. The room design was very nice and reminded me of staying in a cabin.

We have stayed at the Livingston Inn four times and will continue to support this family owned business and you should too! I can’t say enough about how wonderful and unique each room is. There is plenty of room for parking an RV or truck and trailer. 10/10 recommend

Very good establishment: comfortable, rustic yet beautiful rooms (everything you can expect from the region!) and beautiful finishes. Shower and cleanliness were top-notch (which is rare in hotels in the US in general...). One star off for the reception, which felt rather cold : no personal contact, you're just asked to send a text to a number for instructions. There’s not really the sense of welcome or human warmth you might expect from a small establishment like this. Despite that, the check-in was efficient and they provide a lot of information, including the best nearby restaurants and stores, which is highly appreciated. Successful stay, thank you!

I picked this place because it looked rather charming and different, in a good way. Turns out it was different, but in the opposite direction. I booked direct via their website, selected a room, and in an email from the owner was given a rate, in writing. Upon arrival, the room assigned was a lesser type than I had booked, and I was later charged almost 2x the quoted price. The room was shabby and not particularly clean, and the owners moronic beyond belief. If I were you, I'd avoid this place...

Decor is good, room is ok. Air conditioner barely works but if they were to clean the filter it would probably be like night and day. Electrical outlet is barely hanging on. No response by staff for hours

Positive: Livingston Inn has such quaint, rustic charm. Negative: Everything was great. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking to escape corporate vibes.

Booked this place with an online booking app. Shucks it was the first time we've been disappointed. First the rooms have no carpet and that's just fine but my shoes stuck to the floor. So I text the manager and she said she'd come mop our floor. I said we were going to dinner so that was fine. When we got back our room then smelled strongly of vinegar. The beds were comfortable but the decor was very outdated. Except for the sticky floor it was clean.

Stay here, If you can get a room. Unless you like chain hotels, then stay down the road. I have been past this place so many times and it always appeared as though a series of small shops rather than a motel. Wow -- what was I doing to make that silly a mistake? The Livingston Inn is a boutique hotel that's been around for years. It's an unusual setup, a long hallway on a single level with a couple of doors to the outside and the rooms on the other side of the hallway. That makes for less noise from neighbors across the hall and allows guests to walk across the hall to the nearest door to get outside and get into their cars. No long walks to find an elevator, dragging your luggage, and then walking past rows of cars to get to yours. It's a style more reminiscent of a motel than a hotel. The rooms are unusual, at least mine was, with the small refrigerator, microwave, sink and coffee maker on one side of the room all on an L-shaped counter and the bed on the opposite side. It felt like a small, efficiency apartment. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the wi-fi worked well. There was a lot of room to walk around in the room without tripping over something. Check in was a little strange, most likely because it is a small family-run hotel, and there isn't always anyone at the desk, even if you have a reservation, so while you wait you can explore the touristy stuff, maybe start a game of chess. The most unusual thing about the check-in, is that there is no key -- you are given a code and instructions on how to punch-in the code on your room door. If you've ever done a vacation rental home, you'll understand the process. No key to lose or misplace. Despite being on a main road, it's quiet here and a good spot to kick off exploration of the area.

First the good; surprisingly quiet for being right next to I-90 and a RR track. There's an outside entrance, then a hallway and the rooms open off of the hall. Clever design which is great for the winter and to muffle road noise. No carpet (at least in the room we had). Pretty spacious and has a microwave, refrigerator, and a Keurig in room. Good rate in the off season. The not so good; so much dust on EVERY horizontal surface. I mean the picture frames, chair rails, everything. See pictures. I have asthma so I was excited to get a room with no carpet - but this dust situation pretty much negated any benefit from that. The heating/cooling unit is loud (maybe because it's so dirty). The sink was backed up and wouldn't drain. There are strident, multi step written directions posted EVERYWHERE. Might be helpful if the directions made sense or worked. The check in situation is completely ridiculous. States a check in time of 4:00 but when we tried there was no one around. Called the phone number on one of the many direction sheets posted. Person stated they were "on the way". When we struck up a conversation with another guest in the lobby the same person loudly yelled that she could "see and hear" us. Finally got checked in around 4:30. This same staffer announced several times that she was "the only employee" (this was in the off season, hopefully that changes during the season!) and if we need anything we should text her. Did that to no avail, no response for 2 hours to a request for drinking glasses.

I was going to be in town to attend my niece's baby shower and found homestays to be outside my budget and most of the hotels/motels in the area were either booked up or had bad or no reviews. Livingston Inn looked quirky (I like places with unique personalities), was reasonably priced, and was in an excellent location, so I booked 3 nights (because when my family gets together, it can last for days). The outside of the Inn has exterior doors that open into a hallway that leads to rooms. Our room with 2 comfy Q beds was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had all the usual amenities (coffee maker, toiletries, TV, mini frig, hairdryer, etc). Take the sign "Horses Welcome" seriously, as we looked out our window one morning and there was a horse in a pen munching grass outside the building. How many places can offer both you and your horse accommodations? The Inn is apparently family-owned but Daniela is the manager and also handles front desk duties and housekeeping. However, she gave me her cell phone number in case we needed help and she was in a room cleaning rather than at the front, and she was always responsive and available by text or call. She was helpful when we asked for restaurant recommendations and I found her friendly and happy to answer our questions despite how busy she was. If you're not looking for a cookie cutter hotel that looks like every other hotel in its chain, I recommend Livingston Inn!

Great central location and very quiet for being so close to the interstate. Very friendly check staff

Room wasn't ready when we checked in at 5:30p, not a big deal as we were heading to a concert. She checked us in and gave me a handwritten code for our room door as well as all of the usual information while talking about how her helper didn't show up and she was behind. No harm, no foul, everything is fine. (Make a note: Do not leave the property without first trying your door code. Wait until she has it programmed and ensure it works.) Return from the concert at 11:30p, pack everything into the hallway, and the code for our room doesn't work. No way to enter our room. Signs everywhere with a phone number to call if help is needed. Called the number 10+ times, texted, left voicemails, tried the code multiple times, wandered the small property looking for signs of life, rang the doorbell on the office door, no answer, calls straight to voicemail. Called several other hotels in Livingston and Bozeman but everyone was full, which was not a surprise. Packed everything back into our vehicle, left the property around midnight to drive 2 hours home. Thank goodness it was only 2 hours. Call was finally returned at 1245a as we were driving home. Oops, 'left the phone in the office, I guess I need a second number, gee, sorry about that, the code didn't work?' I let her know I expected a full refund ($191 and change). We'll see how promptly that happens as she didn't really respond to that request. She was apologetic but didn't offer any type of resolution other than 'drive safe.' She is quite obviously overwhelmed by the property and the amount of work it takes to run, being understaffed, etc. I was empathetic until I was driving home in the rain, knowing all of our plans for the following day were now canceled because someone wasn't able to keep track of their business phone. The office is unmanned after regular business hours. You may not be able to get into your room for several hours after check-in or perhaps not at all. I'm thankful we chose not to unload our belongings as she suggested when we checked in or we would have been stranded in the hallway, sitting on the floor for over an hour until she realized she misplaced her telephone. There is nowhere to camp out, if needed, other than the hallway or your car. No chairs, no sofas, no access to a bathroom. There are benches outside in the parking lot but it was 40 degrees and raining last night. All in all, it was certainly a huge disappointment and incredibly frustrating. Glad we weren't on a vacation, stranded to sleep in our car overnight, or worse yet, sleeping in the hallway. Tried to support a locally owned business instead of a chain and was left very disappointed. Book at your own risk. It's going to be a long, difficult summer for this business and patrons if this continues. Sad.

I'm not sure how this place got a single good rating. First, the photos are misleading and completely inaccurate of the current motel. I typically don't even write a review, but people need to know about this place. We chose this place on Priceline under the assumption the photos were of current. They are not. When we pulled into the parking lot, we had to double check the address, as the building appears to be abandoned from the outside. When we checked in, we walked up to our room. This place is a construction project, a completely chaotic site at that. There is construction debris all over. There are paint stains all over the carpet on the way to the room, broken signs, holes, basically a run down junk show. When we got to our room, there was tape across the threshold and a 3/4" gap under the door. we pulled back the bedding, and found 2 blood stains, curly hair, and dirt, along with stains on the pillow. The 1970s ac unit said service filter, and was covered in black who knows what on the inside of the fins. There was left over spackle in random places, and the remodel of the room appeared to have been completed by amateurs putting it politely. They didn't replace the tub during the remodel and it had several stains in the tub. The window to the room was taped up on the outside so you couldn't see out. The walls were paper thin, and you could hear the neighbors like there wasn't a wall there. Our whole family felt uncomfortable just being in this place, and along with being completely disgusted immediately left out of the room and left. This place is a scam. They must be using reviews and photos from a previous hotel that may have been here prior. i wish I would have read the reviews from the last year or so before we booked. But never had something like this happen at a 2.5 star hotel on Priceline before. This place wouldn't make a 1 star. Do NOT stay here.

This hotel is a bait and switch hell hole which should be closed down for illegal advertising it has no tvs in rooms, no elevators, no pool no gym, dirty, rude staff who know they are ripping you off. Do NOT get tricked. Unsafe environment lots of transient people place is not being renovated its going backwards and they are just saying that . No website. It's not a working hotel. It's truly awful, unsafe organized rip off. Low price is the hook when you show up they tell you all the bad stuff. Intentional should be shut down for a long list of reasons not safe for kids. Do NOT be tricked.

Very clean and good value. Nice hot tub and free breakfast. I would definitely stay there again.

We stayed here four years and thought it was a very nice place so we decided to stay again as we were passing through the area. We found it to be very clean and the rooms have been updated and also are very clean. I would have given it a five star if it had not been for the wifi problems. The wifi was non existent. I called the front desk to ask what the problem was and the Mgr said he rebooted the server and it should be working, if it is not I don't know what to tell you. Hoped he would have been more helpful. Well, I tried it again and nothing. I tried walking outside to see if was any better and nothing. There were others outside doing the same thing. If you are planning to stay and you have to have wifi like we do, call first and check to see if it's working.

This is an older property but has a Western theme going on that fits the area and added to the fun. (We were there for Round Up) Our room was updated + spotless. The towels were thick & fluffy. I would definitely stay here again. Easy access on/off the interstate.

What happened to this motel? We have stayed here multiple times and it has always been great. When we went to check in today, there was no one at the front desk. Had to call to get someone to come. The reception person spent most of their time letting me know how difficult it is for her to manage 3rd party bookings (Orbitz). She also notified me that despite it being 7:30pm our rooms were not ready " you should have called 30 minutes prior to let us know you were arriving" ... apparently booking a room is not enough. Then despite my PAID receipt, she wanted to charge me AGAIN . She also wanted ""CASH ONLY" for dog fees... When I told her I would not be paying AGAIN, she then began telling me she was "trying to calm down because your energy is upsetting me". When Orbitz spoke to her , she is suddenly not charging me extra. Whatever management changes made here are very disappointing. We therefore reported to Orbitz, and cancelled our booking. Will not return or recommend. Find somewhere else to book in Livingston!

This place is great. Comfy beds, clean room and great staff. Nice to stay with someone other than the typical chain lodging. Lots of small personal touches to the rooms.

Anthony and Deidre are amazing people and very helpful and they go out of there way to help guests. They have helped me several times when I needed a jump start on my vehicle or when somebody locks there keys in their car they assist. They go above and beyond to do a wonderful job. Keep up the great work those that can't appreciate you guys and get to know you are missing out! Ignore those that have been writing bad reviews because you work hard and the guests that know you will still be returning because your motivated and hard workers. We also appreciated the airport rides for only 60.00 each way it's way affordable compared to anyone else! My rooms have always been clean and smell clean I am very pleased to be a long term guest that comes here every few weeks to stay at the Livingston Inn. I will not stay anywhere else during my trips to Livingston.

This little motel is very nice. The rooms are very clean, and the country decor is so neat. Definitely will stay here again when I'm back in Montana. Don't pass up on this place, otherwise you're missing out.

Get off the HWY and stay with these nice folks, Tillie & John. CLEAN rooms - great beds - with all you need at fair price. No breakfast. Do not let outside look make you stay at the Quality Inn nearby! Very down home friendly Inn Keepers who care about you. Salt Water taffy in room a nice adictive touch!

Excellent roadside stop when cross Montana or going to Yellowstone. Way better than your average hotel with attractive western decor, beautiful wood finished walls and a museum of local wildlife pictures and witticisms lining the hallway. Very friendly and attentive staff! I would stay again and recommend to anyone on a budget looking for something unique and memorable.

The rooms were super clean and the front desk staff was kind and helpful. The check in process was easy and even though we booked last minute our room was ready and easily accessible from the parking lot.

check-in at 4pm and check-out at 10am. What's the point of getting a room, Just sleep in my car.

Website advertised $139 a night, credit card was charged $171, I asked the lady at front desk why and she gave some lame excuse. I feel that they should have honored the advertisement. When I posted my review on there website, they instantly took down the advertisement from there website. I did take a screenshot of the advertised price.

What a charming, rustic, comfortable motel! The king bed was very comfortable, and the remodeled room was immaculate. Microwave and fridge in the room. Whimsical touches like the horseshoe hangers and rope around the ceiling and door jambs, saltwater taffy on the counter, and postcards with pictures of wildlife on them (all taken by the owner's wife) added to the kitschy charm. A very quiet night in a nice area, close to grocery stores, restaurants, and Yellowstone. Budget price for a great little motel. Friendly owners who obviously care about their guests and property.

John and Tillie Lamey have done a Fantastic job with their motel! Don't let your first exterior view of the premises fool you like they did me. Upon entering the well appointed and very clean room my attitude turned a "180". The king bed was awesomely comfortable and there was even a very comfortable recliner chair in the room. The room and premises were very clean and tidy. Owner John was very cordial and related numerous stories about the many wildlife photographs in the hallway. This is a must stay for anyone traveling to Livingston. My wife and I definitely will stay again.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Livingston Inn. Tillie greeted us with a smile and helped us with our everything we needed. The staff was polite and welcoming. The room was clean and the air conditioning was excellent. Loved our stay here!

This place doesn't look like much from the outside...not that it's run-down or anything, it just looks like the oldest hotel in town. And maybe it is, but that doesn't really matter. They've kept the place up nicely and it provided one of the more comfortable nights I spent on my latest trip. My room was clean and comfortable. The beds, pillows, and towels weren't the typical motel type, they were more like I might have at home. Their wireless internet service was blazing fast, and I couldn't have been very near the hub. It looks like this used to be the old style motor lodge, where the room door opens to the outside, but they've enclosed the room entries in a hallway. It's a minor hassle if you need more than one trip to unload your gear from the car, but I'm sure it's nice on cold winter mornings. The gentleman that checked me in - presumably the owner - was full of information on how to go about visiting Yellowstone. He suggested when was a good time, where to go, etc., and even estimated how long it might take. Staying in Livingston, it appears to be standard procedure for the hotels to increase their price. They know you're going to Yellowstone and you're captive, so they hold all the cards. In spite of that, I don't feel I was gouged staying here (and I'm cheap, so if I didn't feel gouged - I wasn't) I give minor knocks on two things: First, the walls were pretty thin, I could hear the TV in the next room pretty clearly, which could have been uncomfortable if that couple had been doing anything other than watching TV. Second, I left the motel before the office opened (around 8). The owner told me that in that event, I should leave my key in the box by the door. That box turned out to be a standard mailbox, which anyone walking by could have taken the key back out of. I would have preferred a more secure drop. Overall, I'd recommend this place - it's less than an hour's drive from the Yellowstone north entrance, and close to the freeway. Clean, comfortable, friendly, and not ridiculously overpriced...and what more do you need in a motel?

This is a pet friendly motel so if you are traveling with animals it would be good stop for you. The rooms here were a bit on the small side but were very clean and welcoming. In fact there were some salt water taffies waiting for us on the side table. This room had a queen bed, a small 'fridge and a bathroom. You really don't need more when you are only staying one night but it would have been equally comfortable for a longer stay. No breakfast here but there is a diner across the street although how long it will be there is anyone's guess. Service was very, very slow. Which is not a good thing for the breakfast crowd.

I tend to evaluate Hotels and Motels (and other places) based on how they perform against my expectations. The Livingston Inn Motel is no world-class resort or business center, but as far as roadside accommodations go, this place is tops in my book. The owners personally greeted me upon my arrival, and are extremely friendly (in a good way), helpful, and proud (but not prideful) of their place. They just seem like good people trying to provide great service and a comfortable, enjoyable stay. Tillie is a wildlife photographer, and her (pretty good!) photos adorn the hallway; I had a good time walking the length of the hall looking at her work. Their wifi is blazing fast, the rooms are clean and both larger and more comfortable than your typical roadside fare, and the bed was great; certainly, the rooms are much better than the alternatives. They are conveniently located close to I-90 and to Yellowstone, and Livingston has quite a few restaurants to choose from (although see my other review before you think about eating at Clark's Crossing across the way). It's always a treat to find a local business that is head and shoulders above the competitors in their space - I can support local merchants *and* have the best experience, all at once. If you're ever going to stay in Livingston, this place should be high on your list of choices.

This place is awesome.... The owners John and Tillie great people and their hotel is amazing.. I recommend to everyone..

My favorite hotel in Livingston. Very friendly, extremely clean and well kept. Price is great in off season.

Don't know where to begin. Upon arrival, found that could not cancel as fee had already been charged to my credit card. No refunds! Very small room which definitely was not worth $100+ per night. Was told our room would not be cleaned every day for lack of employees! Really??? On third day asked for room to be cleaned, was told they checked room & we didn't need anything! Really??? How about some clean towels, which they finally delivered! No coffee, no emptying of two trash cans, did not take dirty towels, did not sweep floors! All in all, a very disappointing experience & one we would not recommend to anyone else!

I knew I wasn't staying at a Hilton, but think I'm reasonable that I expected the toilet to be cleaned prior to my stay. The toilet water was white with stuff floating in it it was also covered with urine feces and pubic hair. Shower not cleaned either and the drain was full of hair. We won't talk about the floors but let me say this place won't pass the white glove test nor the brown glove test. To wipe down the cabinets and the fridge the washcloth turned brown.The toilet water was white with stuff floating in it it was also covered with urine feces and pubic care. Shower or not clean cleaned either and the drain was full of hair. We won't talk about the floors but let me say this place won't pass the white glove test nor the brown glove test. To wipe down the counters, chairs and the fridge the washcloth turned brown. Beds where the quality of cheap RV beds, In plastic covers and sheets thread count of a cardboard box. So much for extra cleaning during the pandemic, they just opted or to clean. Owner offered no type of refund of the nearly $200 stay when I had to clean the toilet in order to use it. She said she would check into it, pictures and all. Only positive is that check in was great.

This place was above expectations. We were late arriving, tired , and a little cranky. The owners were the sweetest people. Giving us their last room ( in the basement). Omg it was amazing. Clean. The artwork was the owners own photos air wildlife and nature. Rustic woodwork and quilts. If you are ever in Livingston, this is the place to stay!

Could not have asked for a more friendly, accommodating motel on the last night of our vacation. Reasonable rates and all the amenities we needed. The owner was very friendly and told us all about the infamous bear in all the pictures.Beds were very comfortable as well.

This is a wonderful motel. Clean and modern rooms with an authentic western feel. Flatscreen TV, granite counter tops, sleek electric AC/heater, and super clean bathroom. I got the impression that a lot of effort is put into making guests happy with little things. They leave little candies and their own postcards that are adorable. On the wall there are framed wildlife and western photographs with casual captions and wall hooks made of horseshoes, etc. The young lady at the front desk was polite and friendly. It's locally owned, of course, so the owner wasn't far away either. It's average priced, if not a little on the less expensive side. All in all a great little place to stop for the night. Highly recommend.

very clean and friendly staff. We rolled in at 9pm during a thunder and lightning storm. Got the last room, more than we wanted to pay, but we were happy to get anywhere. When we got to the room we found out why it was pricey- two queen beds, two tv's, two rooms, actually! I would stay here again.

Reasonably priced, and so clean. Nice change from the economy chains that don't seem to care enough to make the room comfortable feeling. Great carpeting, the owners are the ones who welcome you and want you to be comfortable. Terrific photography lines the hall, with the artist/ photographer at the front desk, an owner! A bit skeptical with the location right off the interstate but it was quiet and very safe feeling. We have occasion to visit this area a couple times a year and we will be back!

There is not a Hampton Inn at each stop as you travel across Montana. But discovery and flexibility are a part of the joy of traveling. Don't be afraid to stop here. It is clean, friendly, convenient, and reasonably priced. No coffee in the lounge or the typical buffet breakfast. That gets old after awhile anyway and we had a coffee maker in the room. We were a little more than an hour from the north entrance to Yellowstone. We had a chance to explore the town of Livingston in the evening which was also a joy. Call ahead so you can get in. It was full when we stayed there.

This is a great place to stay, and has a quaint mom-and-pop feel. It has all the amenities of a larger hotel but with a refreshing feel!

I will confess, I was a bit nervous to stay in a motel but my friend and I were moving him (and his big dog) from Seattle to Chicago and we needed a place to spend the night. We decided we'd like to stop at Yellowstone and chose this place since it was convenient and pet-friendly. The owners are absolutely delightful! So friendly and helpful. They have added thoughtful touches to the rooms and halls (the wildlife photos and horseshoe towel holders, for example) which made it feel more "homey" than I would have expected. Most importantly, it was clean and comfortable. We arrived quite late and most of the dining options were closed but, thank goodness, Gil's was open and I had one of the best burgers of my life. I *highly* recommend the Livingston Inn Motel.

Just home from a trip to YNP. The Livingston Inn was our over night stay before flying out of Bozeman ( 20 minutes away). John and Tillie, are the type of owners that take pride in their business and it shows thru and thru. From the moment you check in until you leave. We had a room with 2 queen beds ( room 8) and everything you ever think you could need was there. Love the remote heat/ AC controls, the light over the beds to read by, comfy beds and pillows along with a coffee maker, microwave and min fridge. The tub/shower was great too- they took advantage of the small space and put the sink outside the bathroom. This Inn may not be a Marriott but you get everything you will ever need along with the Montana kindness. Added touch is Andy- the Grizzley Bear that is in the photos. Tillie has her beautiful photos to add to the warm touch. Location is perfect, at the intersection of the major highways with easy access to Bozeman Airport. Even though it is close, I did not hear any freeway noise all night. It will be place we will go to next time in town. Thank you John and Tillie!

In style, this was a very clean and neat budget motel with a personality, but a little pricey - guess this was because it was near the road to Yellowstone and 30 minutes from Bozeman.

We were a group of 5... 3+2.. Us three got the under the office suite!!!! Great place. Owners have done everything they can to make it nice....ask about the bear!!! Would stay again and again!!!!!!

We enjoyed our overnight visit very much. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. Our stay brought back the very best of my childhood memories of traveling to Yellowstone as a girl withy family. We would certainly stay again!

This place was great for the value. Clean and fairly up-to-date. We had no complaints at all. The person at the front counter was very friendly. The room was nice and quiet and comfortable and inexpensive. Shower was good too which is always critical! We would stay here again.

What a great pit stop on our way through town to Yellowstone. The room was small but very comfortable. The owners were very sweet and helpful. Clean and quiet. Please stop here if you have a choice in this small town!

A great $75 motel that I paid $125 for. Clean and free wifi. No other amenities. What it has going for it is that it is right off the highway and a couple hours' drive from Yellowstone.

Perfect for a last minute stop. Clean rooms. Fun decor. And the sweetest owners. Thank you!

To anyone traveling to or thru Livingston, MT, and in need of someplace to stay, I recommend this quaint and inexpensive humble accommodations. I had no reservation but was quite fortunate and blessed to get a room at the last minute. The owners John and Tillie were courteous and wonderful to my plight. My room was awesome: a mini fridge, microwave, a spacious room, a plethora of towels, and most important a very clean and fresh room. So enjoy the Yellowstone National Park but stay at John's and Tillie's Livingston Inn Motel. You won't be disappointed in choosing this inn to rest your weary body.

We always love the reviews. Livingston Inn is very cheerful, clean and comfortable. I highly recommend. Loved this place.

We travel with 3 small dogs, so finding lodging can sometimes be a challenge, and often we end up at places that many folks would never consider. However, we often find hidden gems, too, and the Livingston Inn is a prime example of that. We pre-booked, as we were arriving late. When we drove by, to the far end of the building to the office, I had some misgivings, as the building looked a little 'tacky' - big yellow signs all along the top. However, everything about this place was great, as you can tell by reading the other reviews. We loved all the woodwork in the very large room. Loved the enclosed hallway, but with several doors to the parking. Immaculately clean. Lots of little touches that showed attention to detail, and caring that your stay was above average. Rather than just the usual bedside table between the two beds, they put little triangular, homemade tables in the far corners, with a lamp. Being a reader, that is important to me. Plus, they have added outlets everywhere. Little things, but when you are trying to charge phones, cameras, computers - it's nice. They had horseshoe hooks for clothes and towels. We will definitely be back the next time we come to Yellowstone! Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
