Hotels and motels by metro area in Wyoming

Census published hotel counts for 10 metro or micropolitan areas that include part of Wyoming. The largest is Jackson, WY-ID, with 48 establishments (a multi-state area; its count covers every state it spans). Single-state metro and micropolitan areas account for 57% of the statewide total; the rest are outside any published area or in areas Census suppressed.

Team sizes at hotels and motels in Wyoming

36.8% of Wyoming's hotels and motels with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 30.9% nationally. 53.5% had fewer than ten. At that size the phone is shared, so routing (who rings, when, and what happens after hours) matters more than the number of desk phones.

Calls a hotel in Wyoming has to catch

Independent hotels take reservations, guest requests and group inquiries by phone, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. Calls that go unanswered may become bookings elsewhere. That holds for hotels and motels in Wyoming as much as anywhere.

A few of the calls that come in to hotels and motels in Wyoming:

• The hotel calls a guest to confirm a late arrival.
• A traveler calls to ask about availability this weekend.
• A guest calls the front desk for extra towels.

Texting guests

Hotels text check-in details and guest service updates.

Texting from a local number in Wyoming requires carrier registration (10DLC), a one-time $49 fee on Callata.

Phone system pricing for an 18-person hotel

Hotels and motels in Wyoming average 18.1 employees, so the comparison uses an 18-person team. Priced per seat, 18 users would run $540.00 a month on RingCentral RingEX Core and $449.10 on Ooma Office Pro (month-to-month list prices, checked September 28, 2026). Callata comes to $359.00 a month for 18 users ($99 a month with 5 users included, then $20 per additional user), below both.

Over a year, that is $2,172 less than RingCentral for a hotel in Wyoming of that size. Annual contracts lower some competitors' prices, so compare the plan you would actually sign.

How Callata works for hotels and motels in Wyoming

Callata Office costs $99 per month for up to 5 people, and each additional user is $20 a month. That covers up to 3 local numbers, calling from a browser or your cell, transcribed voicemail, recorded calls with AI summaries, after-hours routing and E911 on each number.

Porting a number you already use in Wyoming is free, and business texting is available once the carrier registration (10DLC) is approved; the registration carries a one-time $49 fee. Which specific numbers are open in a given area code depends on carrier inventory at the time you sign up.

AI agents are optional: an AI receptionist or scheduler can pick up when the team is busy or closed, take a message, send a text or email, or transfer the call. They draw on prepaid AI minutes ($0.25/minute), disclose that they are AI, and outbound AI calls require prior consent and are limited to 8am–9pm.
