This is an older, well taken care of hotel. The rooms were old school, but very clean. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. It had very poor wi-fi, which was not best for my husband. Had beautiful views from patio. Would I stay here again… absolutely. Very convenient for getting into Yellowstone.

Super location- friendly staff.
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.

A Motel with a great view
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.

Nice clean affordable good beds
Great value and conveniently located! Rooms were great with comfortable beds, and a bathtub! (Bonus) nice back patio with view of the river. Office was only open at 4 for check ins, the rest of the time you’d have to hunt down a cleaning person. We loved the coffee and tea bar that was outside the office!

10/10 can’t brag on this place enough!
If we come back to MT we will definitely be stopping here! I wished we could’ve spent more time here. The staff was the sweetest, the beds and rooms were so clean. They give you complimentary coffee, apple cider and hot chocolate by the office. And you can walk pretty much everywhere.

Worked with a scheduling mishap!
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!
