At one point the herd grew to as many as 600 bison. Unable to round up the small herd after production wrapped, crews left them to fend for themselves. The American Bison that wander about in the outlying areas were brought here for the filming of "The Vanishing American," a western-based on Zane Grey’s novel of the same name.

Overall, great hotel for the price and family travels! Would definitely stay there again for the location alone. And beware, the parking spots are very tiny for larger vehicles. One night we did park on the street and got up to move it before the meters started at 8am. Even though you get a parking permit upon check-in, there is no guarantee you’ll get a spot if you leave in the evenings. The only negative is the parking lot is very tight and crowded. Vending machines on bottom floor and ice machines and laundry on each of the 3 floors. This hotel is a 3 min walk to the Wharf and about 7 min walk to the boardwalk. As it is, it’s rocky and not too comfy-but grateful to have a space for dogs with waste bags. We took our dog and they do have a little area for doggy potty, but I would encourage them to lay sod there. Kids loved the heated pool and two jacuzzis. Fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee in room was nice. "This is a great hotel in a great location! Room was very clean and the bed and pillows were comfortable.
