Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Powered by AI
The Best Western Sunset Inn strikes a nostalgic chord with its old motor lodge charm and park-like setting, while offering updated rooms that many guests appreciate. The hotel's amenities, like the clean pools and complimentary outdoor pancake breakfast, are a hit, although there are some concerns regarding AC placement and a non-functional hot tub.
While service can vary, with most staff members being helpful, a few guests have encountered rudeness. Cleanliness is generally praised, contributing to the hotel's reputation for good value, despite some rooms receiving mixed reviews for size, noise, and maintenance.

We spent several nights in this best western. Our rooms were dark but clean. Close to the road because they were double rooms but it is quiet. Congratulations to the people who take care of breakfast they make sure that there is always all the sweet and savoury available. On a terrace outside are served pancakes. The Pension offers to wash and dry laundry for a low price

Hotel's Favourite
My wife and I were on a road trip with no reservations. After stopping at a couple of motels in Cody we chose this one. It was a great value. Breakfast was hot and fresh. We had a room with a patio and was a perfect choice after a long day of driving. The hotel is a bit dated but is very clean and very well maintained.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
This was the first of several Best Western hotels that we stayed in during a recent road trip. It was also the oldest.
However, we really appreciated the old style drive up/park outside room as it was so convenient. The room itself was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for a one night stay. it also had great facilities that we didn't have time to use such as pools,gym and a guest laundry.
It's within walking distance of the Buffalo Bill Museum and the hotel reception sell rodeo tickets if required.
Breakfast is included in the room price and there was a reasonable selection to suit most people and sufficient table space as well.
Would stay here again if we ever return to Cody even though there is a smarter, new Best Western further out of town.

We usually stay at 2 other major brand mid level hotels…but their prices have been significantly higher so we thought we’d try a Best western.
It’s an older motel that’s well cared for but could use updating.
The staff was great tho and very accommodating…our initial room had a very unpleasant odor and the staff were great about assigning us a different room (seemed like we got an upgraded room)
The new room was closest to the street so at times very loud vehicle’s world go by but it didn’t really interfere w sleeping.
The a/c was older and the fan didn’t run continuously.
However the big difference was in the morning breakfast.. they don’t make individual coffee but rather have one machine that dispenses coffee, decaf and hot water, so it tastes more like instant coffee.
Additionally the hot food’s were just okay…tho they did make fresh made pancakes on the patio which was a nice offer.

We love staying at this hotel! It has everything that we need and we always feel like home here. We love the playground on site and the outdoor and indoor pool. We absolutely love the hot tub and how big it is! We also love how big your pool towels are and how accommodating it is to have them there on site. We've stayed at this hotel several times and we've never been disappointed! It's also nice because it accommodates our 4 legged child (dog) and he can come on getaways with us. We will continue coming here and enjoying our weekend getaways!

This is an old school motor lodge, where you park in front of your room. The property is well maintained and has many private, grassy areas to sit and soak in the sun. There is an outdoor poor, as well as, an indoor pool, laundry room, play ground, ice and vending machines. There is also breakfast served each morning. The rooms are clean and updated. Housekeeping is exceptional. The breakfast area is monitored by 2 employees who make sure the area and serving stations are cleaned as used and everything is well stocked. The front desk offered great suggestions, too.

Room Tip: Buffalo Bill Center of the West is well worth the visit, as is the drive out to Buffalo Bill Dam.

Didn’t expect this much from a motel. On our vacation we stayed at four best western hotels plus. This Motel was the best. It did t feel worn out. Room had a sink outside of restroom. They management thought of small features that most 4 star places do t offer. It was safe and clean. We always take Clorox wipes and end up cleaning something in our hotel room that looks neglected. Not here. We didn’t bust out a single wipe. So thankful there are stops like this.

We LOVED everything about Cody and the Sunset Inn! Cannot wait to go back with our children and fully intend to stay at the Sunset Inn again. The room was well maintained & clean. The guest laundry was clean, with disinfectant spray for guests to use as they pleased, upgraded machines and lower than average prices! We didn’t use the pools or playground this visit, but there are two pools one indoor and one outdoor. Pancakes on the patio is a must!

This was great place to stay and close to Yellowstone. This was our first time staying in a hotel with outside room access and my family was extremely leery. It actually made life so much easier getting and loading our luggage, which they came to appreciate later in our trip. Our room was clean and spacious, and came with a frig. The free breakfast, was great. My kids loved making their own waffle. The staff is very friendly as well. Would totally stay here again.

Yes it does. An indoor and depending on the season an outdoor as well.
Sorry we don't know. I would contact the hotel directly.
Thank you for the question. Our guests that book directly with us and have pets must keep their pets in a kennel if they leave them in the room while they are not there.
I am not sure.
Look on the hotel website and see if there's an option for a handicapped room on the days you want to go-if there is, they do. If not, they might. Calling the hotel directly will give you the best answer, and promptly!
