The best available hotels & places to stay near Buffalo

August 4, 2022 Sheron Bogner

Sitting along the Cloud Peak Scenic Byway in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, Buffalo is conveniently located between Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park. The town itself is rich in frontier history, allowing visitors to step back in time to the days of cowboys and sheriffs. Have a glass of authentic sassafras in the saloon of the Occidental Hotel, right on Main Street, or head south of town and search out the Hole-in-the-Wall hangout of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Excellent stay, very private and well kept cabins. All-in-all my number 1 choice of places to stay in Buffalo in the future. The cabins had many amenities that made the place feel roomy, and the offerings they had made this feel just as nice as any hotel I have stayed at, with the added benefit of supporting local business.

Great place

A great pet friendly hotel. Door to the outside makes it really simple to unload the car and take out the dog. Very clean. The hard floors made it obvious that the room was clean, and worry free with the pet.

Room was quiet. Location was quiet... entire region was quiet. We also enjoyed having a tub in the bathroom which fewer and fewer hotels have. The breakfast bar was well stocked with a good selection of foods.

We pulled in late on a long trip back home. We had found Buffalo Inn online prior to arriving and were attracted to it by the low price and good reviews. When we arrived we were told a higher price than was quoted online and I asked her if she could honor the online price . She told me no, that I would have to book online. I did and it it charged me $80.25 (this included taxes). It stated "total amount due at check in" $80.25. When I came back in, she took my credit card and ID and had me sign an electronic pad saying we did not have pets and that we would not smoke. She then assigned me a room and handed me a receipt for $84.75. I questioned the extra $4.50 and she said that the website gets the tax wrong, and had been for the entire year and 8 months she had been working here, and that this was the actual price with tax. She said it was a third party website and that this happens sometimes but not all the time. The website was titled Buffalo Inn and seemed like a direct website. They took all of my info including my credit card number. When I told her I had not authorized that amount and that she could not charge my credit card that amount, she told me, there was nothing she could do. I asked to refund the total amount and we would leave and she said she could not do that. She told me I could speak with the manager the next morning. I asked for the managers name and she told me Angie. She was unable to give me her last name and would not look it up. She told me the manager had only worked there for two weeks (the next morning the manager herself said she had been there for over a year). Although she kept calm, she was clearly defensive and irritated. We ended up staying because it was late and we did not want to end up paying for another hotel and being charged twice. The room was so smelly. It smelled like dirty old tennis shoes. We tried to open the windows, they were bolted shut, we tried to turn on the air-conditioning, it did not work. The entire unit did not turn on. The refrigerator was louder than a diesel engine (which I ended up appreciating because it helped to drown out the voices and TV from the next room that we could hear through the paper thin walls). The beds were nothing special, the pillows tiny and the "white organic cotton sheets" that they suggest on thier website were dingy and old looking. The room was clean as suggested on some of the reviews. In the am, we discovered that the fan in the bathroom did not work either so this room had no ventilation at all. The water smelled like sewer although that might be a Buffalo Wyoming thing versus an Inn specific thing but none the less, it was gross. When I spoke with the manager in the morning, she had been informed of the situation and although she listened to me, when the conversation led to removing the extra charge, she got defensive and said she would not do that. I told her that she could not charge my account for an amount I did not authorize, she walked away from me and when I asked her the owners name she told me she would not give me that information. However, when I returned to the breakfast room she was having a loud conversation with someone(she later said it was the owner) in the breakfast room with other guests present about my situation. I heard her from the hallway outside the breakfast room and walked in and asked again for the owners contact information. She said she would not give that to me but that he was aware of the situation. I suggested that I would be looking the information up online and she said "go right ahead" as she walked away from me to the back room. I realized I would not get anywhere with her so we left. When I checked with the better business bureau, I discovered many complaints from patrons that had been mischarged or over charged (some days after they had checked out) and never compensated. This seems to be a pattern with this establishment and I would warn anyone considering staying here to be aware of this scam and know it has not been worth the few dollars saved. I like to support small. local business but I made a mistake here. I hope this helps you not make the same one I made!

Place is old with a very small bathroom and even smaller shower. The TV is from a few decades back. The owner wasn't here so sooeone gave us our room number left the door unlocked and put the key on the television. Oh good luck looking for a plug in between the beds if you wear a C-Pac. Finally you will need to be very tall to turn on the air-conditioning. The control switch is about foot and a half from the ceiling. PS they have wifi but didn't bother to share the password. I had to call the friend who left he key for access. But the room was clean.

Nice clean and quiet rooms. Helpful staff. Average breakfast with reconstituted watery “scrambled” eggs. We would stay again but find another place for breakfast. There was a great local coffee shop named Fix close by. They have fabulous lattes.

Mansion House Inn & Motel

The Mansion House Inn offers two options for travelers, rooms in our main house, which include breakfast, and rooms in our motel, which do not include breakfast. Our main house is operated as a bed and breakfast, with rooms furnished with antiques, and a full breakfast served family style in our dining room. Our motel offers rooms with king, queen, or two queen beds. Most rooms have been redecorated recently, with new bedding and art. All the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Please note that breakfast is not included with our standard motel rooms. Our property is within walking distance of downtown, where there are several restaurants and bars, and lots of nice shops.

Very clean, cute motel in downtown Buffalo

Reviewed By 42georgiaw

My boyfriend and I recently visited buffalo for a weekend with our dog. We were worried we wouldn’t have a clean, nice place to stay because we had to bring our pet. But, luckily, the mansion House Motel not only allows pets but is extremely clean and each room has a different fun theme. The beds were extremely comfortable and I got the best nights sleep I’ve had in a while. Right behind the mansion House Motel is a small walking trail by the creek which was awesome for morning walks. The owner had also left a list of recommended restaurants and places to visit around Buffalo, we loved this part and really felt like we got the most from our visit. Overall, this has been my best stay in Buffalo so far and I highly recommend this motel to anybody traveling with a pet or just looking for somewhere guaranteed to be nice and clean in downtown Buffalo Wyoming.
