I was treated extremely rudely by the staff. I am currently recovering from a very bad accident (broken pelvis, sacrum, L5 and both legs) and use the pool as my therapy to be able to get back on my feet. The signs say open at 10. There was a lady waiting in the lobby with a young child who called in earlier that morning and was told pool will open at 10am. It was 10:05 and the staff member came out from in the hotel somewhere and I asked if the pool was open today he extremely rudely said not yet. And walked away. I replied saying the sign says it opens at 10. He replied with come back in an hour it might be open then, nobody has checked it yet. I scheduled my day around their signs and am very disappointed that they are not running the business professionally. Do NOT recommend dealing with this business

Not a bad hotel but just overpriced for what you get, sadly a common theme apparently in Bozeman and Big Sky compared to my last visit years ago.The hotel itself is decent, with rooms and amenities better than your typical budget motel like a Motel 6 but not rising to the level of say, a Baymont or even a good Comfort Suites, despite the inflated price. The basics were there – the beds were clean and comfy, there was ample room, parking was easy, staff were polite and helpful, and the bath and sink worked well enough. Having two small fridges in the room was a pleasant surprise and the microwave was very useful in avoiding having to expensively eat out all the time, but the place overall had a dated and wanting feel in the details. The door lock would often take multiple tries with the key card to unlock. The TV had only some basic cable channels with no Netflix or other streaming available. The sink had a broken stopper so it drained very slowly. Several doors and walls in the building had obvious spots where paint had hastily been put on to cover up booboos. Little things like that.It was nice having a free breakfast every morning but even that was underwhelming. For the price the Whitewater Inn charges other hotels would have a hot breakfast with a waffle or pancake maker, scrambled eggs, sausage or bacon, etc. but the best you could get here was your pick of microwaveable Jimmy Dean's breakfast sticks or sausage biscuits. Serviceable especially with the limited and pricey dining options in the area but disappointing nonetheless.The pool was great though. Indoors and heated, with plenty of bath towels, plus a nice jacuzzi and a tall slide for the kiddos. It was also open early at 7 am and until late at 10 pm so being able to jump in for some laps every night helped soothe the burn from the hotel charge.A decent fitness room and free laundry machines also helped a bit. The spectacular mountain backdrop helped too, at least until you had to drive the 7 miles to Big Sky Resort and see how even more breath-taking the views are over there. Which brings me to another point about the Whitewater Inn, despite being owned by Big Sky Resort it isn't on or really near the resort. Instead it's beside the main road from Bozeman to West Yellowstone and requires a 20-25 minute drive up to the resort proper from the junction. Take note of that if you're in the area to attend an event or conference at Big Sky Resort itself. Apart from two gas station convenience stores, a NAPA, and a tiny coffee shop, there's not much at the junction so anything else you need like a restaurant or grocery store is up that road to the resort as well. Unfortunately lodging at the resort proper has also gotten significantly more expensive compared to when I stayed at a condo there a long time ago.To sum up, the Whitewater Inn is a decent place to stay in the Big Sky area if you won't or can't stomach the higher prices at the resort proper. Some improvements and a more reasonable price would elevate it though from decent to wonderful.

Nice lobby and friendly staff. The rooms are low budget ones but clean and comfortable. I was there for a conference as the on-site accommodation was sold out. It's a bit pricey ($200+) for what you get but maybe that's going rate in the Summer. Could really do with a renovation. Free breakfast was nice. My original room had evidence of a big water leak in the roof from heavy rains earlier I the year, so I asked to change andvthey accommodated me easilyThere's an indoor pool with a water slide so kids will like it.Beauties all around but not convenient for going into town or the resort unless you have a car. There is a resort shuttle bus that stops there but didn't use it

This is a great place to stay in Big Sky Montana. Our room is huge. Hot tub in room. Free laundry room. The staff are super helpful and friendly!Rooms: Our room is huge with a bath and shower and separate hot tub, microwave, mini fridge.Nearby activities: Bozeman is a nice place to visit about 35 miles away. Beautiful drive. The west entrance to Yellowstone is about 40 miles away. Lots of trails and trout fishing.

This hotel is fine other than what you pay for your stay. The price is too high in my opinion. You're paying for the Big Sky area even though you're not at the resort. The rooms need to be updated along with the carpet in the hallways and the stair cases. The rooms are clean, but basic. I'd give more stars if they were more reasonably priced.
