The rooms were very clean and the kitchenettes in the suites had everything we needed to cook, which is helpful because there aren’t many eating options in the area. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were no issues with WiFi. It was also nice to see the elk out and about on the property and around town. It’s within a short walking distance of the grocery store.

The only complaint I have is the noise. We could hear the upstairs footsteps very clearly and there were some pipe noises. The pipe noises were rare and the footsteps stopped when people slept. However, I would recommend getting a room on the top floor to avoid noise.

When we checked in the front desk was very nice. They told us to look out our window or peep hole of door before opening to make sure there were no animals at our door or close. When we were getting out of our car to go into the room there were 6 elk coming into the parking lot. The location of the hotel was great for visiting Yellowstone. The room was large with a full kitchen, Refrigerator and Microwave. The bathroom area was a good size area. We were on the first floor which we liked since we had a large amount of luggage since we were on the road for 13 days. Very quiet Motel/Hotel.

The towels were not very asorbant or maybe they were not totally dried before putting them out for us.

Room was good size. We especially appreciated the kitchenette, including dishware, silverware, a good-size refrigerator, stove, microwave. All the comforts of home. Staff went us down the street to a market where we purchased items to make our own dinners and to pack lunches for our days in Yellowstone. You'll appreciate this room as a couple or as a family or group of friends, if you'd prefer to make your own food rather than going out to expensive restaurants.

Exceeded our expectations. Gardiner is just a few blocks from Yellowstone's North Entrance.

Very convenient to the north entry of Yellowstone National Park

It was a bit dingy and old. The towels and supplies were on the cheap side. But, since it’s kind of a rustic setting, I didn’t worry about it too much. The people behind the desk weren’t as friendly as I was expecting them to be. Very direct into the point. Not a lot of smiles.

I received conflicting information and wound up paying $35 more per night to get a refrigerator with a freezer. I didn't know that until I checked out.

I'd like to have the option of coffee and muffins in the lobby in the morning, even if I have to pay for them. Also, the front desk is closed at night. There were some noisy guests that needed to be reported.

This was the best hotel we have ever stayed at! I would recommend this place to everyone I know. The lady who checked us in & out was super helpful & kind. The room was clean, spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. We especially loved watching the elk everyday, they were in the parking lot & at the hotel sign. My husband also enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony with his binoculars watching the elk on the mountain in front of the hotel.

Loved everything about this stay!

We like the location as it's just outside the North entrance to Yellowstone. It's much less expensive than staying inside the park (which we also did). The rooms are nothing fancy but clean with good beds and we enjoy the big terrace on the upper floors. Lots of power outlets for charging devices. Wifi is a good speed and free.

The towels need replacing as they seemed pretty worn and scratchy.

Loved the location and our room the ones I booked online ,called ahead and ask to add an extra night we were ahead of schedule young girl was a bit rude and the room was horrible cramped we were very worried about our stay but moved rooms the next day and was much better . I was also charged almost twice the amount for the cramped first night if I would have known I would have went else where.

Extremely clean and well maintained. Felt like a new building. Unusually large rooms. Rooms are serviced only on request, but trash bins were clean and thoughtfully placed close to rooms to facilitate tidying. Good lighting. Wide balconies with stupendous views.... Great place to sit and have meals, socialise. Good WiFi. Not dark and claustrophobic like most motels. Quiet part of town. Elk in car park. Responsive staff. Way beyond expectations. Would stay again.

Only complaint is my bath towel was 'squeaky' and not absorbent. Sounds strange I know. I wonder if it was too much fabric softener?

The owner was very proud of property and took ownership of making sure everything met my needs.

I am in wheelchair. Property had a beautiful shower but it was not for ada access. The bench was for someone to sit not use as ada needs plus the lip on shower prevented Rollin. Beautiful new carpet but it made opening and closing the door virtually impossible. Had major workout getting door open/closed. This is an excellent and comfortable property and you can tell the owners care and are trying hard. I have every belief they will continue to just get better and better. Anyone without ada needs will be very happy with their stay.
