Econo Lodge Livingston Gateway to Yellowstone

Mixed to negative reports: several guests described rooms and property as unclean or extremely dirty, musty/dog odors, stained or poor-condition linens and an incident closing the pool for sanitation — offset by other guests noting clean showers and beds.

Generally praised for friendly, helpful staff and an appreciative manager in multiple reviews, though a number of guests reported rude or abrasive front-desk interactions and inconsistent responses to disturbances.

Consistently positive: many guests note a very good or convenient location (including proximity to attractions/freeway) and easy access for overnight stops.

Mixed but leaning below average: beds and basic comfort often praised, while rooms are frequently described as outdated, in need of remodeling (bathrooms, doors, flooring), noisy AC and occasional broken remotes or maintenance issues.

Mixed amenities: complimentary breakfast and basics (fridge in room) are positives, but problems reported with pool closure, noisy A/C, limited pet areas and occasional items not replenished or functioning.

Split impressions: several guests felt good value (especially compared to nearby higher-priced options), while others called it overpriced for condition and in need of investment.

Breakfast generally acceptable and occasionally praised (real sausage and eggs), but also criticized for limited choices, empty items not refilled and inconsistent staffing/quality.

Overall mixed experience: comfortable beds and friendly staff balanced against cleanliness and room condition concerns; many guests found it acceptable for short stays or location, while others would not return.
