Looks to be on the Sorthern end of town. Maybe a bit too far to walk to the Million dollar Coyboy Bar and such down town. Their address is: The Virginian Lodge, 750 W Broadway, Jackson, WY 83001. Looks to be 12-15 blocks away south of downtown on hwy 26/89.

It's a Lillie bit out of the way. The way the locals explained it to us was its right on the edge of the cheap part of Jackson. $6 cheeseburger to a $12 cheeseburger for example. The bar next door is Elenoars bar and grill. Great food and a pretty good night life. We walked downtown and I would guess it took about 30 minutes but that was with a bunch of time checking things out on the way. The Virgianian lodge has everything you could want/need and was way cheaper than the others. We had two rooms with two double beds in each for $89.00/night/room. Good luck. Just a heads up the Harley dealership isn't much.

Using Cody as a hub for day rides last year, our group stayed at Buffalo Bill's Cody Motor Lodge. Great place in good location to walk all over town. Also, nice size rooms, friendly staff, bike wash and is very popular with other bikers from all over.

Have stayed in Red Lodge often over the years. Can't go wrong with The Yodeler, Red Lodge Inn or Alpine. Yodeler is best for walking into downtown area. All good, local properties and popular with bikers. Typical evening socializing in the parking lots is fun.

I was scratching my head about this Cheesehead, couldn't get why you were asking about motels only 15, 20, 60 miles apart. As others have stated why not pick a spot as a base? Are you really planning to change motels that often?

Completed, we have:
- Sioux Falls, SD - Done - Just some hotel for the ride out & back
- Spearfish, SD - Done - Crow Peak Lodge - Never heard of this one, but it received good reviews. Scratched Hulett/Sundance due to a lack of options and room rates.
- Jackson, WY - Done - The Virginian
Still Open, we have:
- Red Lodge, MT – Going after The Yodeler, Red Lodge Inn or Alpine – Whichever one I can land first
- Custer, Hill City, and or Deadwood, SD (Now calling this the Back Hills area) – these will be combined into one place only. Not many options under $200 in Hill City…could use a hand here or we could land in Custer, Keystone for cheaper. I’m jumping on the www.custerresorts.com site later today as 'richkidman' mentioned to see what I can see.
Initially, I was looking at Best Westerns for the entire trip, but they're so darn expensive that last week of July or so, that we just opted for highly rated lower cost options. The 10% discount really did not do much to compare to the savings I’m finding with other options.
