Yellowstone River Motel

Trip was good, but like the Albequerque Balloon festival, the costs of things such as hotels, meals and other local expenses double (or more) what they are normally. The same can be said about the Indian Market as well, which was a disappointment due to all the vendors who were not - selling everything that was anything but. Will we go back? NOT for the so-called "Annual Indian Markets."

Rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff is nice and helpful. Convenient to Yellow Stone park entrance and shopping for souvenirs and grabbing a bite to eat in Gardener. Highly recommend as a great experience. It was part of an awesome trip. We were very happy here

We really enjoyed our stay at this motel. It's an older family-owned motel with character and beautiful views, located very close to Yellowstone's north entrance, yet tucked back off the main drag a bit. Our room was in the "newer" part - nothing fancy, but was spotlessly clean, very quiet, the beds were comfortable, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Loved it - would definitely stay again.

It was nice that the office staff asked if we had AAA so he could give us a discount on the room. The view out in the back patio of the Yellowstone River was beautiful. It was a great place to enjoy our picnic. Chairs and tables were provided. The room was clean and a microwave and refrigerated were provided. The Motel was close enoughto walk to Main Street but far enough to be quiet. I would definitely stay here again if I am in Gardiner.

Positives: location is perfect with quick access to the park entrance. The staff are very friendly. Coffee is complimentary and you can sit by the river to relax at the end of the day. It was also great that the room had air conditioning because it seems a lot of places don’t. The price was one of the lowest in the area. I’m guessing the negatives are why the price is low. Negatives: the room was old and outdated. The carpet was disgusting. I could see about 5 inches of black dirt/mold all around the edge of the room and where the bed hit the floor. It’s as if only the center of the room is vacuumed. The smell when we entered was lemon cleaning products overpowering a very old/moldy smell. Finally I could feel the springs in the mattress and the sheets and towels are the thinnest, lowest quality I’ve ever used.

A spur of the moment trip to Yellowstone was a surprise. What a very nice little Motel just a few hundred yards from the North Entrance to Yellowstone. A very nice room update of an obvious older build, new carpet, freshly painted. Very nice mattress. Exceptional!!
