Parkway Inn

This inn feels very much like a bed-and-breakfast, with a friendly and intimate ambiance and a cozy lobby that’s beautifully decorated with antiques, vintage photos, crimson carpet, and delightful curios. There's a striking tin ceiling, and the entire space exudes an inviting vibe that encourages guests to linger over a second cup of morning coffee or afternoon cookies. Vacationing couples and families are the most frequent guests, but avid skiers, tour bus groups, and even business travelers can be seen here as well. It’s a peaceful place in a quieter section of bustling Jackson Hole. 

The Parkway Inn is located on a quiet street near Miller Park in the heart of downtown Jackson. It’s just three blocks (a six-minute walk) to historic Town Square and its popular art galleries, restaurants, shops, and bars. It’s a five-minute drive to the slopes at Snow King Resort and to the National Elk Refuge, and 23 minutes by car to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort at Teton Village. Jackson Hole Airport is a 13-minute drive, and Craig Thomas Visitor Center, a starting point for Grand Teton National Park, is 20 minutes away. Yellowstone National Park is approximately a 75-minute drive, and Idaho Falls is a little less than two hours away by car.  

In addition to being cozy and comfortable, guest rooms at the Parkway Inn are considerably well-equipped. Some variations in the decor exist between room types, but travelers can generally expect light oak and pine antiques or quality reproductions, and rustic, Western touches throughout, like mountain-theme artwork and accents. White walls provide a nice contrast with the dark-brown carpeting, drapes, bed throws, and padded headboards. There's also handsome armoires and desks, and wide windows provide plenty of natural light. Thirty-three Superior (standard) King or Double-Queen rooms and 10 One-Bedroom Suites are located in two buildings, while four Two-Bedroom Suites are located in a separate cottage. Superior rooms include armchairs and small, oval coffee tables. Suites feature wet bars and separate seating areas with new sleeper sofas. Some second-floor rooms have balconies with mountain views. Standard amenities include AC, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, terrycloth bathrobes, and free Wi-Fi. Suites add microwaves. Bathrooms are a bit small, but they have lovely, natural stone tiling framing the shower/tub combos. Black granite vanities are placed just outside the bathrooms, with magnifying mirrors and toiletries. 

The free continental breakfast served in a pretty breakfast room is a highlight. It includes an extensive spread of freshly baked breads and pastries, as well as yogurt and fresh fruit. Each afternoon, guests also are served free cookies and lemonade (summer) or hot cider (winter). Another top feature is a spacious fitness center that includes several modern cardio machines, weight-training machine, and free weights. It also has separate saunas for men and women. The lap-style indoor pool is small, but it’s next to two spacious whirlpools. The pool room has a skylight, allowing tropical plants to thrive. There's a computer and printer in the lobby, and the front desk has a stash of sundries in case guests forget something, as well as board games and books to borrow. Ample on-site parking and Wi-Fi throughout is free. Travelers with limited mobility should be aware that there's no elevator to access second-floor rooms.
