Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Overall, very pleasant stay. Front desk staff was very helpful. Clean, basic lodging. The room was large and had a small sitting area. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the ice machine. It cycles on/off at various times during the night. Also, beware of the elk roaming the property and the main road!

We stayed overnight one night to be closer to the north side of Yellowstone National park. We were in late and up early to get back to the park. The room was clean, shower was hot, and we slept well. Gardiner was convenient and had several restaurant options minutes from the park entrance. Worked well for us.
