Soda Butte Lodge

Tried to eat/have a drink there 3 times this past weekend. Menus say open until 9pm, sign on the door says 7pm, person in the building said they closed at 5pm. We were told once “the Miners Bar is open for you guys”. It really felt like the 3 times we tried to patron this establishment they didn’t want “our type” (snowmobilers) there. Some folks in our group have been going there and even staying there for the past 30years. We wanted to see the new and improved soda butte we have heard good things but we just didn’t get the chance to do anything there. This town has changed much in the past 3-5 years. The Soda Butte used to be at the heart and soul of this town and our consistent experience. It is really sad that such a cool place will just be a distant memory for us in our group. We ho

absolute dreadful stay! None of the accommodations were open! No casino, no tavern, no restaurant ! Employees were in the lobby on their phones every time we walked through.. We chose this place because we thought we would have a place to eat, a place to have a drink and little entertainment all in one location.. when we arrived we were flat lied to and told that the tavern just closed early that day! After speaking to locals the tavern/casino hasn't been open almost all summer long. The 2nd day we asked again about it and all the guy would tell us is it was closed then acted like he didn't understand what I was asking.. Of course while on his phone sitting in the lobby. Woke up the 2nd day went down to get coffee and was told no coffee they had to clean the machine of course they w

I stayed here the night before a trip in the back country to climb Granite Peak, and again the night we got back. The location was great, only 15 minutes to the trailhead I was using. Since we didn't get back to our vehicles until midnight after the climb, I appreciated the staff leaving our room key on the reception desk. The coffee machine was good. I appreciated the meeting space in the lobby and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom door in my room didn't close very well and there were strange noises throughout the night. Not a 5 star hotel, but it was good enough for me.

Positive: Location is awesome and the staff was great. Negative: The hotel is definitely older and could use some updates; however, the bed was comfortable and it met our needs for the weekend.

We stayed here 3 nights and I wish we only stayed one. First I want to say, I was not expecting anything fancy. I realize we were visiting a national park and kind of in the middle of nowhere. Before you stay here please realize there is zero cell phone service. They offer wifi which worked great our first night, and then the next 2 nights it hardly worked, leaving us no way to communicate with family. There is no air conditioning, which I know they probably don't need, but be prepared if you rely on that to sleep. Our room could have been cleaner. Found long black hair on the sheets and in the bath tub. Shower curtain needed replaced. The restaurant, which was partially why we chose here to stay, was open the first night we stayed, a Saturday night. Food was decent, service was slower. An
