Hi Brenda. Thank you so much for staying with us. I have some concerns about your review, though. The invitation to review your stay was to review your experience with Alpine Motel. And you said your room was clean and accommodating. We glad you found your room to be what you needed. Yet you gave Alpine Motel a bad review score based on your other experiences around Cooke City. If you come to a seasonal tourist town during the "off" season, of course there will not be a lot of dining options. But why do you give Alpine Motel a bad review score when we have no control over dining options? You said the surrounding areas are a little dodgy? What does that even mean? The surrounding areas are Gallatin National Forest and Yellowstone National Park. Unless you're referring to Cooke City as a whole. In which case I don't have a clue what you're talking about. We're an old gold-mining mountain town with a crime-free population of 75 people. We have one paved road and no traffic lights. Please tell me what is dodgy about my little slice of heaven in Montana. I'm not sure what you were expecting when you visited Cooke City. But a simple Google search would have shown you everything about our town. We're definitely not anything like northeastern Connecticut. But we locals consider ourselves blessed an fortunate to live in our little dodgy town.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Robin. My team and I are glad to know that almost everything was fine. I do apologize for noisy upstairs neighbors. We are an 88 year old property. And unfortunately, the walls and floors are very thin. We do hope you will visit us again. And feel free to ask for an upper level room so you don't have the noise of upstairs neighbors. Also, we do have five double rooms in a single level building. Until we see you again, be well and take good care.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Calvin. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We hope your vacation was pleasant and memorable. And we're glad we could contribute to that experience. On your next trip to the area we would look forward to seeing you again. Until then, take good care and be well.

Hello Mr. Calvo. Thank you so much for staying with us. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. It always makes me happy when people actually "get" our style here at Alpine Motel. And you, sir, are one of the few who actually get it. We are a motel. Not a hotel, not a branded property, and not a resort. We provide our guests with basic lodging, an exceptionally clean and comfortable room and a safe and pleasant experience. Quite a few people somehow mistake Alpine Motel for the Ritz or for The Four Seasons. We are definitely not those places. However, I'll put the cleanliness of my rooms up against theirs any day. Again, thank you for staying with us. And we look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Thank you so much for staying with us. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. And we're pleased that you found your room to be clean and quiet. Those are all the things we strive for, and we hope that we were able to help make your vacation pleasant and memorable. We would look forward to seeing you again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Hi Christie. From the score you gave it seems that you enjoyed your stay with us. We also hope you enjoyed your time around Cooke City and were able to take in the sights and maybe eat at a great restaurant, too. We would look forward to seeing you again when on your next visit to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Thanks so much for staying with us, Craig. My team and I hope you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We hope to see you again on your next trip to our little mountain town.

Thanks so much for staying with us, Jennifer. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City.

Hi Bernadette. Thank you so much for staying with us, again. Loyal guests, such as yourself, are what we strive for. And when we have guests who return again and again, it lets us know we're doing something right. And you are so correct - the bakery ALWAYS has the best breakfast. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit. Take care and be well.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Rebecca. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We would look forward to seeing you again when your travels return you to the area. Be well.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Bruce. My team and I hope you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. Because you came during the shoulder season, the dining options are VERY limited. There are usually options available for all meals Friday through Sunday until the middle of December. When the snowmobiling season kicks off, all restaurants will reopen. But until then, Miners Saloon does have some pretty good pizza.

Thanks so much for staying with us, Veronica. My team and I are so glad to know you and your family enjoyed your visit with us. We hope you were also able to make some great memories in Yellowstone. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Thanks so much for staying with us, John. And thank you for all the kind words. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We hope to see you again on your next trip to the area. Until then, take good care and travel safely.

Well thank you, Bill. If we're as good as it gets in Cooke City, then why the less than "good as it gets" review score? Just curious. We're thrilled that you have been staying with us for 30 years. That means you must have been coming long before it was Alpine Motel. And we are thankful for your repeat business. We look forward to seeing you again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Hi Joan. We truly appreciate that you chose to stay with us at Alpine Motel. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to our area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Thank you so much for staying with us, James. And thanks for taking a few moments to review your visit. My team and I hope you enjoyed your stay with us and your time in Cooke City. And yes, inflation is a problem. Costs are soaring. And unfortunately, those costs get passed along to the consumer. We do hope you will visit us again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Thank you so much for coming back and staying with us again. We are always thrilled to have returning guests. My team and I are glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us. And we hope you were able to enjoy Cooke City in general. I have to agree with you about the water. We have some of the best water in the country. It all comes from melting snow and natural, high altitude springs. We look forward to seeing you again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Thank you so much for staying with us again, Tiffany. We always look forward to your visit. And we hope to see you again on your next trip to Cooke City. As always, take care and be well.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Venus. My team and I hope you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. From the score you gave, though, it seems we may have not met your expectations. What could we have done differently or better to have achieved a perfect score? We look forward to seeing you again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and travel safely.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Donna. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. You can't be too much closer to Beartooth Highway seeing as how Main Street (in front of the motel) is the beginning of the highway. We hope you were able to experience some of the majestic scenery of the Beartooth Mountains. And we look forward to seeing you again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

いつもご宿泊いただき誠にありがとうございます。 私たちと私は、あなたが私たちとの訪問とクックシティでの時間を楽しんだことを知り、とてもうれしく思います。 私たちの施設は築87年ですが、皆さんが体験したような素晴らしい状態がまだ保たれていることを誇りに思います。 私はフロントデスクの「老人」です。 私はまだ 48 歳ですが、ほとんどの日は老人のように感じます。 ご旅行の際にまた当地域にお戻りの際には、またお会いできることを楽しみにしております。 それまで、十分に気をつけて元気でいてください。

Thank you so much for staying with us, Anita. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We hope you were able to make some amazing memories in Yellowstone as well. We would look forward to seeing you again on your next visit to the area. Until then, take good care and travel safely.

Hi Melissa. I'm so sorry about your poor stay. I promise you would not fall through the floor. Sagging floor? I would have to disagree. Uneven? For sure. I would imagine every floor in every building in Cooke City is uneven. Buildings settle. And they tend to settle even more in an 87 year old building in an area where the ground is never dry. We received 362" of snow over the past winter. The ground stays saturated and buildings settle. Floors everywhere in Cooke City are uneven. We all get the same complaint. I do appreciate you letting me know about the light fixture being loose. That is something I will definitely take care of immediately. We purposely took off the knobs to every refrigerator? Do you know how mini fridges work? As soon as you open the door, all the cold air leaves immediately. So, it doesn't feel cold. I assure you that it works just fine. But when it doesn't immediately feel ice cold, guests assume the fridge isn't working property and they crank up the fridge to the point where it freezes over. And then we have problems. So we set the fridges just to the point where it won't freeze and we removed the knob to prevent guests from assuming it isn't working and freezing over the fridge. A speck of rust in the sink is your complaint. I looked at the room after receiving this review and there was literally one speck of rust (the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen). Now that, I would say, is a petty complaint. It sounds to me as if you were coming to the second most isolated town in the lower 48 states, in the middle of nowhere Montana, in a old, rustic, mining town, and were expecting some uptown urban elegance. Well that type of lodging simply doesn't exist in Cooke City. I'm sure you could tell that as soon as you entered the town. So, when you make a reservation at a "motel" you should expect a motel and not a high class resort. Your room was spotlessly clean (I see you didn't mention any uncleanliness), and everything was in working order. For your future travels I would recommend staying in a larger metropolitan area where you can find the luxuries you were expecting at a motel. Best of luck to you in your future travels.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Lee. My team and I hope your visit was pleasant and memorable.

Thanks so much for staying with us, Tammy. My team and I hope you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We would love to have you stay again on your next visit to the area.

Hi Patricia. This type of review is the difference between expectation and reality. I don't know if you looked around Cooke City at all, but the entire town is rustic. It's an old mountain, mining town. You had a two bedroom suite. Most people rave about our suites and how spacious they are and comfortable. We are the only hotel or motel in Cooke City which even offer suites. And they are always the first to be reserved. In your suite there is brand new carpet, paint, and fixtures. So, unless you were expecting some uptown urban elegance, your suite was in great condition. What do you mean by "no amenities"? You had a full kitchen in your suite with everything you need to cook and serve full meals. Did you expect us to provide the groceries also? We offer a guest laundry onsite. We offer morning coffee in our coffee room each morning. So, I'm definitely not sure which amenities you were lacking. You were sent a request to review your stay at Alpine Motel, and not to review the availability of dining options in the area. However, you made sure to include that anyway, even though Alpine Motel is not associated with any restaurant in town. But, during your stay the following restaurants were open for their regular hours -- Beartooth Cafe, Prospector's Restaurant, Bistro Cafe, Miners Saloon, Wooka's Wild Eats, Cooke City Coffee, Log Cabin Cafe, and Silver Gate BBQ. Perhaps if you're looking for some big town hotels and dining options you shouldn't travel to the second most isolated town in the lower 48 with a population of 75 people. Best of luck to you in your future travels.

Hi Berleen. Thank you so much for staying with us. And thank you for the kind words. We would love to see you again on your next visit to our little mountain town. Until then, take good care and be well.

Hi Suzanne. Thank you so much for staying with us. My team and I hope you enjoyed your stay with us and your time in Cooke City. Some people think the mattresses are too hard. Others say they are too soft. We can't please everyone when it comes to mattress firmness. I do appreciate you bringing to my attention the issue with the slow draining sink before you left. I took care of that problem right after you checked out. We do hope you will visit us again on your next trip to the area. Until then, take good care and travel safely.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Corine. And thank you, also, for the awesome review. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us. And we hope you were able to visit a few places around Cooke City as well. We look forward to seeing you again.

Thanks so much for staying with us, Robert. My team and I are glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We do hope to see you again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and be well.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Erin. My team and I are glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We look forward to seeing you again on your next trip to the area. Until then, take good care and travel safely.

Hi Sheila. Thank you so much for staying with us. And thank you for taking the time from your day to let us know how we did. I looked back at your reservation and saw that you stayed in room #4. After inspecting the bathroom floor I see that one of the linoleum tiles is indeed coming up. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I will have my maintenance person take care of that first thing tomorrow morning. I would not have been aware if you had not told me. So, again, thank you. We do hope you will give us another opportunity to make a better impression on your next visit. Until then, take good care.

Thank you so much for staying with us, Leslie. From the score you gave it seems we did not meet your expectations. Was there a problem or did you experience an issue? When I see a score this low I always wish the guest had given an explanation for the score. We do hope you will stay with us again when your travels return you to the area.

Hi Karl. My team and I are so glad to know you enjoyed your visit with us and your time in Cooke City. We hope to see you again when your travels return you to the area. Until then, take good care and travel safely.
