Cons
Limited pet-friendly rooms available

“For a straightforward stay just outside Cody, this motel emphasizes the essentials. Expect clean, compact rooms equipped with practical amenities like mini-fridges, plus conveniences such as guest laundry facilities; while a bit removed from the town center, the trade-off is often a quieter setting with parking right outside your door.”
