It was good place to before you visit Yellowstone National Park.
I screwed up the dates and we showed up a day early! The young lady working the front desk was very gracious and worked with us and got us into a great room with no issues!
We stayed to check into Xanterra for the summer season in Yellowstone. They are literally right across the street from them!! We were able to walk to check in. This alone, was worth the higher price.
The motel has a wonderful location, minutes walking to the Yellowstone sign, Roosevelt Arch and cute downtown Gardiner. The best part is a cute patio overlooking Yellowstone river, great place to watch the sunrise over the mountains with the cup of coffee that is available at the hotel all day long. Family own for three generations, friendly staff. I would definitely stay there again.

The property was off the beaten path and was quiet.
We enjoyed our stay at the Yellowstone motel! The staff were friendly, location was GREAT and the room was comfy and clean! My only suggestion would be to raise the shower head and replace the towels but otherwise an overall great experience!
Very nice spacious rooms in such a quiet location with a beautiful river overlook area on the back patio area. We would definitely want to stay here any time we are in Gardiner!
Nice and bright inside. Close to park. And a nice zen feeling to the "patio*" area overlooking the Yellowstone River. Refrigerator in working order as was the ice machine. Very welcoming even though as soon as we checked in our dog had an accident on the floor of the room.
* It's not a patio it's a nice lawn with chairs to sit and watch.
Very good stay!!! Loved the back patio looking over the river. Sat outside for a while watching the elk roam around. A lot of dining options within walking distance.
About one or two minutes outside North Entrance to Yellowstone. Convenient and easy to find. View of the park/mountains from the front of the building, out back is a very roomy patio with tables, chairs, eating areas and a canopy that look out over the gorgeous Yellowstone River. Great access to the river within a block. Our pup even got a little snack bag. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!!

Its definitely a motel, not much privacy from neighbors, felt a little seedy, but the staff is friendly. Easy access to yellowstone.
Loved the relaxing river out back after a long day in Yellowstone National Park.

Disliked: Amenities
Bathroom was not great. Room was clean and small as expected. We were put into the old wing, which seems like what you get when booking through Expedia. Would probably look for a different place next tike, but this was convenient.
Friendly staff and comfortable, well appointed rooms. Great location with a good range of places to eat nearby. Riverside area is delightful to sit and watch the river and grazing elk. Highly recommend.
