I had a great stay at Elk Refuge Inn. The room was clean, comfortable, and nicely maintained, but what really stood out was the stunning view—absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and completely handled through my phone, which made everything incredibly convenient. Highly recommend for a hassle-free stay with a great view.

The Elk Refuge Inn was warm, inviting, and very comfortable. It is conveniently located near downtown Jackson Hole. Most importantly for us, however, was the proximity to the Elk Refuge. Our balcony looked out over the preserve, and we were able to watch the elk and coyotes roam the preserve. It was absolutely amazing!

Room was modernized and very nice, kitchenette was great, had everything we needed for cooking small meals. Excellent communication from hotel, no contact check in and check out (door key code), free laundry with detergent and dryer sheet provided (awesome amenity for travelers that are down to their last set of clean clothes!). Fantastic view and a convenience store and gas station next door if you need snacks. The only negative is the very busy road right in front of hotel, but they provide free ear plugs if the sound bothers you. We turned on AC unit to fan and it was enough white noise to drown out traffic. Would definitely stay again when in Jackson.

We opened sliding door for a bit to get air but with road noise we had to close it.
