After reading other reviews of The White Buffalo, I was hesitant to book, but I was a last-minute traveller and it seemed like a cost-effective option. I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, the property is older, but my room was in the main building (first floor down the hall from the front desk), and it was clean and updated with well-regulated temperatures. My daughter and I felt safe. The staff were all very friendly and polite. It was the best included breakfast (for two) I’ve found in quite some time, especially the fresh fruit and protein options. It was in a convenient location to the National Park. I would stay again!

Wonderful Stay!

I have missed this little gem as it is off the main drags in West. I will stay again! For this time of year it was very affordable, great staff, clean and comfy! Plenty of parking, a park across the road

Bed and pillows were comfortable and rooms were bigger than normal. Also liked that sink was separate from shower/toilet. Only issue is they give two free breakfasts but we had 3 guests.
