Planning on hitting the Beartooth Rally this year and trying to find a decent place to stay. It looks like all the hotels in Red Lodge are booked so I am now looking outside of town. I found a Super 8 in Columbus, about 55 mins outside Red Lodge and a Best Western in Yellowstone Crossing, also about 45 mins away (times are from Google Earth). I'm sure there are others, just wondering if anybody has a recommendation on these or other hotels in the general area. Actually kinda like the idea of being outside of Red Lodge as the rally will only account for a day, the rides around the area will account for the other 2-3 days. We stay in Taos for the Red River Rally each year for the same reason.
We stayed at the Beartooth Lodge which is a few minutes outside of town. It is a bed and breakfast, log cabin but it was the week before the rally last year so don't know about its availability. No one but us were there when we stayed.
