No motel in Jackson has a better location—or a bigger hot tub (it seats 25 people)—than this old-school lodging, a block south of Town Square. Many rooms have fireplaces, and a few have jetted tubs, but otherwise they're standard motel rooms. In winter, there's a complimentary ski shuttle.
This simple, two-story motel with clean, warmly furnished rooms stands out for great reason: it's set along a minimally developed stretch of U.S. 26/89/191 that overlooks Flat Creek and the National Elk Refuge. It's also 2 miles north of the bustle of downtown Jackson, making it handy for driving up into Grand Teton National Park. All rooms have bathtubs and most have patios or decks.
More of a motor inn than a lodge, this property (which reopened in 2023 after extension renovations) pays homage to the past with its retro theme, but all the furnishings are brand-spanking-new. It's a sprawling, single-story property (it also has an RV park), but most guests love that they can park right in front of their room. The Virginian Lodge has one of Jackson’s few all-season outdoor pools, and its two oversized hot tubs are a hit with the après ski crowd. The room service menu is pretty limited, but there’s a restaurant on-site serving breakfast and lunch, and a saloon with great beer and even better taxidermy. For DIY cocktails in your room, hit up the liquor store adjacent to the lobby.
