We stayed at this hotel in January. We were quite surprised how clean and comfortable this place was. Bed was comfortable. I really liked that they provided reusable plates, cups and utensils. Will stay again.

Ashley at check in was great. Very helpful. All staff interaction were very good. Unit 13 14 had balcony above the river. We stayed in room 14. Definitely will stay again. Ate at the Wonderland Cafe. It was very good. We love Gardiner in the Winter. Enjoyed going 6 miles north of town to Yellowstone Hot Springs. All in all had a great trip. Will definitely stay longer next time.

Good base for Yellowstone

Reasonable place to stay in Gardiner. Has full kitchen so you can cook meals (the gas stove runs too hot and can't simmer well). Much cheaper than staying in Mammoth hotel. Negative are that the cottages are next to the main road and be be noisy. Also the blinds don't block out the street lights.

We really enjoyed our two separate stays at Yellowstone Riverside Cottages. The cottages are super clean and comfortable (even during subzero, as in -20 or lower, temperatures). The cottages are only 15 minutes from the Mammoth Hotel in Yellowstone NP which is the jumping off point for snow coach trips to Old Faithful. The gentlemen working the front desk (James and Joe, I believe) were very professional and courteous. We were also able to check in early during out last stay. I highly recommend the Yellowstone Riverside Cottages and would gladly stay there again. Thank you. George from Idaho.

I have stayed here before and it has become a “go to” lodging for me as it’s priced fairly, close to park, close to amenities, and communication with hotel is easy.

Great room; annoying light

The room was super clean and comfortable, the service was friendly, and the location was perfect for us. My only complaint is that there was a motion sensor light outside that kept coming on all night. I closed the window shade, but it was very thin and didn’t block the light, and there wasn’t any other window covering available. I woke up every time the light switched on. Other than that, our overnight stay was perfect.

Great location for this little set of cottages in Gardiner. Room had many thoughtful amenities and the shower was one of the best I have had in a motel setting. Room was warm when we arrived, which was nice for the winter. Walls are a bit thin in the non-riverside rooms, but a minor distraction. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff and check-in was a breeze!

Clean and very well appointed room! Super comfy bed. Convenient location and the friendliest staff. Great outdoor deck area with expansive views. No hassle assigned parking. A bull elk meandered through the parking lot. This place was recommended by a friend and I will so the same
