I am writing this review to set expectations when reserving The Meadow House. This property is in need of repairs and updates. The bathrooms and kitchens are in bad shape. Items that don’t work are outlets and the heater in the bedroom. No WiFi, shower head needs replaced and tub inserts are in need of repair. Staff at check in was not helpful with directions indicating the room number was on the house. They do what they can to keep it clean and bed was comfortable. Access to town and shops was really nice.

Attention Trip Organizers, The 49er is well suited for large parties. But their business policies do not compensate you for your patronage. I booked 15 rooms for five nights for my group (that's over 10K in fees) and not even a 10% discount on my room! It's just common curtesy and a proper way to say thank you for bringing a group. I get the idea that this company is having a hard time making a profit. I'll look around at other properties before I go back.

Summary Version: Take pictures of the room when you arrive, I was charged $50 for damage that I did not cause and no notification of charge/information has been provided to me Room was dated and not maintained Room was not very clean - stained bedsheets No maid service for 7 night stay due to not enough staff - had to go to lobby to replenish supplies Shuttle bus to/from Jackson Hole Report extremely crowded, college kids discussing inappropriate subject matter in front of children, did not run very frequently Low end breakfast Buildings aren't connected - cold getting to room from pool Unenthusiastic staff Friendly shuttle bus driver Detailed Version: Make sure you are diligent with taking pictures of your room when you arrive here. There are some questionable practices at play here. When I got home from my trip, I saw there was a $50 charge on my credit card placed by the 49er that I did not recognize. This prompted me to called and they informed me the charge was for damage to a table in the room. I was floored. We were very gentle with the room. There is no way we caused any damage. They didn't bother to notify me that they would be charging my card and when I asked for documentation they just told me to call back. Very poor customer service. Normally I take pictures when staying somewhere in case of incidents like this, but the room was so run down I didn't even bother. The 49er Inn & Suites claims "A fresh and modern hotel experience" and "Completely remodeled" on the website. This far from what I experienced/observed. The room we stayed in was dated and not maintained. For instance, the shower control handle kept falling off, the shower head sprayed in all different directions, and the door security lock was broken, to name a few. The extra sheet set left for the pullout couch had staining on it that looked like vomit, which was well visible without even unfolding the sheets. There was hair in the bathroom that clearly wasn't ours, and the sheets didn't smell very fresh. The room did not appear to have been thoroughly cleaned/turned over (I'm trying not to think about a scenario where the bedding was not cleaned, I hope that is not the case). The rugs were in rough shape. We wouldn't even walk on them without our shoes on. All of these things should be highly noticeable to the staff and corrected during turnover. The 49er staff we encountered didn't seem very enthusiastic, which is fine, at least they weren't rude. We were informed upon check in that there would be no maid service for our stay, 7 nights, because they were understaffed. At least they were honest about why and didn't try to frame it like they were doing it for the environment or whatever. We had to go down to the lobby to replenish things like soap and shampoo, which wasn't that big of a deal, but along with everything else, added to the annoyance. The buildings aren't all connected so it was a cold walk back to our room from the pool. The breakfast is fine, what you would expect from a lower end place. The no cost shuttle bus from 49er to Jackson Hole Resort was a nice feature, and the driver Jeff was awesome. He was very pleasant and friendly. My kids loved his Cowboy poems. That being said, the bus was often extremely crowded and filled with college kids who were talking about inappropriate things and using foul language in front of my young kids. People were packed in the seats and aisles. It was very uncomfortable. There was supposed to be a sign-up for the bus, but that clearly was not followed. We had to adjust our ski schedule and take earlier shuttles to avoid the crowds. Also, the shuttle only ran 3 times in the morning to Jackson Hole Resort, and 3 times in the afternoon from JHR, 1.5 hours in between, so you have to plan accordingly. Otherwise, you can take public transportation, if you don't mind lugging your ski gear to the nearest bus stop. A lot of people had dogs, which we didn't mind. The dog owners seemed to be respectful. I didn't encounter any dog poop or situations where a dog was off leash on the property.

We’ve stayed at the 49er with our family and a large group of friends for many years in both the rooms and the strange apartment downstairs. In the early years it was fine but it is now in desperate need of a refresh. The rooms are extremely tired, outdated and in some cases disrepair. The most redeeming qualities are the location which is perfectly in the center of town, the free breakfast in the morning (even tho the eggs are powdered) and the free shuttle up the mountain with Jeff and his cowboy poetry! We won’t be back until they renovate.

I stayed here because the photo tour I was taking picked this place. I had come to Jackson, 3 days early just to drive around and enjoy the beauty of GTNP & Jackson. I had booked another hotel for my 1st 3 days and that ended up in a disaster. So, at midnight I called and asked if I can check in 3 days early. They gladly got me a room and let me stay in the room for my duration (even though it was an upgrade) for what the tour had paid. Excellent breakfast, meticulously clean dining room, Amazing Breakfast Staff! They are On Top of Everything!!! Great Price for this place & same block as Bubbas BBQ where I ate 3 nights (Yum).
