Elk Refuge Inn

Elk Refuge Inn's website showed beautifully clean and updated rooms and states that they have recently been updated. I chose to book here for that reason. However, when we walked in the room we were disgusted by the stained carpet - both bleach and dirt stains and the room was old, not updated at all. It didn't look anything like the pictures. We had a two-king, sofa bed room. The grossest thing happened after my shower. I was walking back to my bed and sorting things from my suitcase and stepped in blue gum that was there from a previous guest. I wiped it off with disinfectant wipes. There was a former guest's unused coupon for a shop in town wedged into the bathroom moulding, very obvious. The bathroom floor had red stains like makeup on it. The A/C is finicky and stopped working our first morning there. Everything just felt yucky and we paid over $340/night. The town was sold out and it's Jackson, so obviously we were going to pay a lot, but if I had known what we would be staying in, I would have paid more to stay somewhere else! We do not recommend this hotel. On a positive note, though, we did appreciate free wifi, a fridge and micro and a basket of complimentary snacks left in our room. The market next door at the other inn was overpriced, but convenient.

More than I expected!! We stayed in room 204. Balcony room with beautiful view of The Elk Refuge preserve. The room was very clean and specious. Close to downtown Jackson Hole . Best nights sleep our entire trip!

Josh is super nice at the desk. The place is nice and there is a view except from room 102, where we are, it is of the spiral staircase. The beds are very firm. Good for some, but not for me! We could wash our hands or brush our teeth while using the toilet. I'm short, but my boyfriend isn't so his knees hit the vanity :( there isn't a place to leave suitcases out, no table inside, no counter space for toiletries anywhere.

We had such a beautiful time here! Quite, relaxing, and a beautiful porch view! Plus the staff is so sweet and we adored the little snack basket. Great spot for families as the walking path and wildlife refuge is right across the street!

The only "negative" would be that it is a little dated, but don't let that stop you from staying here. The rooms were clean and stocked with complimentary snacks and coffee. But the staff here were AMAZING. The woman at the front desk (owner or manager I assume?) was super helpful. She went out of her way to help us with ideas of places to go and things to see. I would absolutely stay here again.
