Flat Creek Inn & Mart — Hotel in Jackson

I was in the beginning portion of a 36-day road trip, and when I got to Jackson things had already gotten kinda rough. I had forgotten my laptop charging cord and had cracked the screen to my phone before I left. I decided not to worry about getting the screen replaced since it still worked just fine and the screen was still perfectly viewable, but I didn't think about how that would make it so that the phone was no longer waterproof. Not realizing this, I took the phone into String Lake in the Tetons which was the beginning of that phone's end. When I arrived at Flat Creek Inn, I was pretty stressed since my phone was my navigator, camera, music, email etc etc etc. The staff did everything they could to help me out offering ideas of how to deal with the water damage to my phone, letting me use their wifi with the bit of battery that I still had left on my laptop so that I could map my route and write in down on paper. They also let me use their phone to call people that I was meeting up with including my step-Dad who's hotel room I was headed to that night in Brigham City, UT, and it was great to let him know that I was running several hours late and might be later if I got lost. To boot they also had the rice that I put into a ziplock bag with my phone to begin the water removal process which ended up being successful enough after another day or so to get that phone to last me until it's replacement arrived. I also used their tire air pump to blow into the holes and cracks of the phone which was better than my moist human breath.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FLATT...

We chose to stay here due to proximity to Grand Teton N.P because we were about to embark on a 3 night backpacking trip in the park and wanted some stress free comfort prior to that. Room was about 85 degrees at 7 pm (nearing end of August). Air conditioning was broken. Front desk worker said they'd try and fix it "when they have time" and advises me to open the window because it gets cool enough at night. Screen on window is bent / not covering window. Fiance is not happy with highway noise / lack of security due to window opening onto common walkway. All other hotels are booked by this point it's past 9 PM and all other hotels (under $300) are booked and we are hot and crabby, and still nothing from the front desk.

"King" bed is two twin beds pushed together with a mattress topper but was still very firm.

Location is ideal, but I find the room condition / service to be very much lacking for the price.

I'm wishing that I had either camped in Grand Teton N.P. or went a little further into town for a nicer establishment with less hassle.

I would not recommend staying here if you're looking for a...

stayed here, 4 nights, July 22-26/2016. since unable to find lodging in Teton, Nat. park, this motel was the next best alternative as located within reasonable driving distance to either the Moran entrance or the Moose entrance. A 2 story motel, we stayed on the first floor in the section farthest from the office and store, so relatively quiet. Nice view of the Elk refuge and surrounding hills across the street, but never saw any elk. Room clean, though furniture a little shabby, bed too soft, freezer needed defrosting, housekeeping a little careless, after we had been there a couple of nights ie: did not replace coffee packets or sugar and creamer packets, or the beverage cups and we had to call for them. Tea bags were not available, had to buy my own. Did not wipe up a dried spill on the kitchen sink counter so one assumes counter was not wiped . However nice to have a frig and microwave and convenience of sink for light meal prep. Staff and management pleasant and accommodating. Paid.$ 199.00/per night plus 8% tax., don't know if this is on a par with rate of similar lodging in the...
