Horrible.
Not clean. Old linens practically see through. Very uncomfortable bed. Do not stay here. Do not get sucked in with the low price it’s not worth it.

2/10 Poor
September 23, 2024
I selected this property for access to Yellowstone, proximity to the river, and it is pet friendly. The best part was access to the park, the rest was undesirable. The carpet was stained and likely from a different century, the beds were in poor condition and extremely uncomfortable. I could feel the springs in the mattress. The river was close but not worth the other discomforts. My reservation was for a renovated room and there was not one available. I would not recommend this property.

Personable staff. Clean rooms with microwave & fridge. Visited 9/13, stayed 3 nights. Hotel location 2 blocks from north entrance Yellowstone. The town of Gardiner doesn’t offer much & the quality of food we experienced in town was not quality.

Fun place to stay, close to Yellowstone. Views of the river. The outside space for guests was so peaceful and enjoyable. The kitchenette worked well for our early mornings headed into the park. We would stay here again.

The room was very clean with new carpet and toilet. Even though it is a motel, its cleaness is no less compared with some two or three stars hotels. The location is close to the north entrance of yellowstone national park. We even squeezed in a visit to Mammoth Hot Spring after checked in at the motel. We saw deers, mooses and goats when we were in and out the park near sunset.

Gardiner
This was the first time we had stayed here, was a little worried before we checked in but was pleasantly surprised. Could not check in until 4 pm office was not even open until then. Very clean, very quiet. Very comfortable beds and pillows. They have a nice patio area with grills overlooking the river. An added surprise had elk across the street, in the street and parking lot at different times. If they served breakfast would have been perfect. I wish they had a laundry for the renters to use. We will definitely stay here again.

No breakfast. For the price the room (carpet,) was a little dated. Very convenient to Yellowstone entrance, restaurants and shops

Our Gardiner experience
No specific statement about cleanliness, but the office manager(I assume) was very thoughtful and considerate by leaving us room keys in an envelope taped to the office door because we arrived at the motel after the office had closed.
