5 reviews for Chamberlin Inn
The Chamberlin Inn as others have said really is the only nice place to stay in Cody. We find the Inn, which is right off Main Street, we are immediately greeted by the friendly staff who were prepared for our arrival.
The Chamberlin is charming and quaint, reminiscent of staying in grandma's early 1900 farmhouse. Yet the Inn has been remodeled, but maintains it's charm. No card keys here, we are handed the old medal keys, one for the room and the other for the entrance in case we come in after 9 p.m. when the doors are locked. Our room is located on the second floor, and is fabulous overlooking the garden. On the bed which is covered in silk bedding is a small box, tied with a bow, inside are 4 chocolate truffles from La Blege Chocolatier. The beds are extremely comfortable are made up with organic linens.
The garden is welcoming with tables and chairs scattered about so you can sit and relax, or enjoy a game of croquet on the lawn.
The Innkeepers leave unoccupied rooms open, so you can wander the property checking out the other rooms. As a travel agent I love that, as then I can see the rooms and learn more about the property. Each room is different, and the room in which Ernest Hemingway stayed has been designed to reflect his lifestyle. The Inn offers a library and a computer in which to check e-mails and free wi fi in the rooms as well.
Upstairs there is a comfortable sitting room in which to curl up with the sun streaming through the windows to read a good book. The staff gave great recommendations on places to eat, and were more than happy to make dinner reservations for us. I can't wait to stay again, I highly recommend the Chamberlin Inn, you won't be disappointed.
As others have indicated, this really is the only place to stay in Cody. I ended up staying here for a combined couple of weeks and it was truly an oasis at the end of each day. The beds are comfortable, they have flat screens for entertainment and the owners and staff make you feel right at home. The attention to detail is amazing on all levels. They even use "green" cleaning supplies.
Stay at the Chamberlin and walk around the corner and have dinner at The Proud Cut. There is no better one-two punch in Cody!
I travel a lot for business, and I have to say I have never stayed anywhere cleaner than the Chamberlin Inn.
Besides that, this small, boutique hotel is also an elegant and quaint choice for a stay in Cody.
Located 1/2 block from the main drag (Sheridan), it is far enough from the action to be quiet, but close enough so that you can walk anywhere you'd want to go.
The Irma Hotel gets a lot of the town's publicity (as anything else that Buffalo Bill Cody ever touched), but in my opinion, the Chamberlin is such a better choice compared to the Quality Inn, Best Western, or the Irma (which smells like booze and is located over a restaurant/bar).
The hotel was recently remodeled in 2005, and was upgraded in almost every detail. The rooms have fine furnishings and decorating details that makes it stand out when compared to any chain. The overall effect is charming, but not stifling. The lobby has a photo album showing the remodel process, and also gives a lot of detail about the namesake of the Inn.
The staff were very courteous, and there is a courtyard in the back that has seating and tables to relax and enjoy the weather (if it is the summer that is). No lie, but we saw a bunny hopping around back there. You can also play croquet, as they have it set up.
There is also an enclosed porch on the second floor, where you can relax and enjoy one of the books from their library. The library has a computer so that you can check your e-mail. Brought your laptop? They have free wireless.
When I asked where a local laundermat was, I was offered the use of the hotel's facilities. They have a very large kitchen , as the hotel has a conference room/party area in the back if you have a need for a meeting. It would be a very pretty place for a wedding too.
There is a Hemingway Suite here...apparently the man himself stayed here during a fishing trip. You can look at the rooms that aren't occupied as the management keeps them open for visitors to view them.
I cannot say enough positive things about the Chamberlin. If you are going to Cody, I would HIGHLY recommend it for your stay.

Hotel Chamberlin is a quaint 100 year old hotel that had a complete renovation a couple years ago. All new fixtures, bedding, bathrooms etc. It is like staying in a nice new hotel, except everything is in the style from 1914.
The owners must love this place because they have really paid attention to detail. For example, in the back is a large garden and yard with tables and chair and whatnot - like a renovated old Coke machine that has free bottles of water. In the rooms you don't get a chocolate on the pillow, you get a box of four from Napa Valley in a cute box tied with a ribbon.
The rooms have really nice soaps for the wife and other stuff, the new room air conditioners work great, the light fixtures are all very cool and completely functional, the wall mounted flat screen TV's are better than what I have at home, I can go on and on there's so much that is nice about this hotel.
They lose a star because the room door knobs and locks are old-school and a little fussy to use, and the economy rooms just aren't very big and have no shelves.
Other than that, I can highly recommend it. The location is also great - it's in the center of town, a short walk from all the restaurants and shops and the Wild West Museum.

I'm going to keep this simple. I wouldn't stay anywhere else while in Cody, Wy other than Chamberlin Inn. Here's why:
1. They have the most comfortable beds in the world . Did I mention that the sheets were organic?
2. They have the most amazing gourmet chocolates that arrive neatly wrapped in a beautiful box with a satin bow on your pillow. No generic chocolate here...
3. Clawfoot Tub, need I say more?
4. Imported bath salts and soaps for your convenience.
5. Aside from the amazing decor, fabulous location, gourmet kitchen and overall luxury, the owners are wonderful, kind, helpful and the service is fantastic. This was the reason we fell in love with Cody. It's worth every penny and then some.
