We enjoyed our stay at the Yellowstone motel! The staff were friendly, location was GREAT and the room was comfy and clean! My only suggestion would be to raise the shower head and replace the towels but otherwise an overall great experience!

Nice and bright inside. Close to park. And a nice zen feeling to the "patio*" area overlooking the Yellowstone River. Refrigerator in working order as was the ice machine. Very welcoming even though as soon as we checked in our dog had an accident on the floor of the room. * It's not a patio it's a nice lawn with chairs to sit and watch.

About one or two minutes outside North Entrance to Yellowstone. Convenient and easy to find. View of the park/mountains from the front of the building, out back is a very roomy patio with tables, chairs, eating areas and a canopy that look out over the gorgeous Yellowstone River. Great access to the river within a block. Our pup even got a little snack bag. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!!

Bathroom was not great. Room was clean and small as expected. We were put into the old wing, which seems like what you get when booking through Expedia. Would probably look for a different place next tike, but this was convenient.

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.

From this property u can actually see the entrance to Yellowstone. It is convenient & the staff is friendly & welcoming. They DO NOT have an elevator but they only have 2 floors, so it's not an issue. I would definitely stay at this property again.
