Yellowstone River Motel

The desk clerk was very friendly and gave us a good recommendation for dinner. The patio area in back of the hotel is a lovely place to sit and relax. We saw a herd of elk grazing across the river. The hotel is old and in need of an update. It was clean, but had stained carpet and very thin towels/washclothes/sheets. The bathroom was extremely tiny. I would call it "quaint".

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.

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!
