If you don't want to stay in Jackson and drive up early in the a.m., try the Grand Targhee Resort in Alta. It's on the other side of the Tetons and you can access Yellowstone from the west entrance. Much cheaper and off the beaton path. We're staying in the park for 3 nights and then heading to Alta for a few before we head down to the Desert Pearl Inn near Bryce Canyon.

Just a side note, if you are traveling during the week, you shouldn't have a problem finding a room in Jackson. Plenty of mom and pops that don't advertise like the major chains.
