Idaho Falls Greenbelt Trail

It was a nice, well maintained property in Idaho parks. We stayed here for our visit to Yellowstone (which was a bit long drive). We ended up doing a lot more local explorations (including big springs and ATV ride to Sawtelle mountain top).

This place could use some work, both on the amenities and the staff. The wi-fi is borderline unusable - I needed to attend some remote meetings on my laptop, and ended up tethering it to my phone because I couldn't get anywhere near reasonable speeds on the hotel's network. I also tried to use my Roku stick with their TV and the wifi was too slow to stream anything without it buffering constantly. If you want to eat any food that requires heating, the room is equipped with the world's smallest and clearly cheapest microwave; I couldn't fit a take-out container in it, and there were no plates of any kind in the room, so I had to get creative and tear the take-out box to get it to fit, and then it took almost 10 minutes to get the food somewhat warm. It's odd that they leave a few food items in the room that you can eat for a charge on your bill, but there is no silverware of any kind, so are you supposed to eat the cup of noodles with your hands? It's all just really haphazard and poorly thought-out. Then I was woken up in the morning by one of their employees who was doing something in the adjacent room, and he made a phone call and was talking super loud, and the walls are paper thin so I could hear every word of his conversation. Finally, as the 11am check-out time approached, there was a knock on my door with a "housekeeping" call-out, not once but TWICE between 10am and 11am. Really sets the tone that they want you out of there. Lots of work needed at this place!

The cabin is in a remote location half hour west of West Yellowstone and is best for families wanting to relax near the park
