This was our most expensive accommodation on our recent road trip, and the most disappointing. The hotel is easy to find and is very close to Yellowstone’s North Entrance. The rooms are clean and comfortable and ours had a balcony overlooking the river, but it was a little tired and could do with a refresh. Gardiner is a great place to stay if you are visiting Yellowstone, as it so close, which is probably why the rooms cost so much. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance.

After visiting Yellowstone numerous times, we knew that we wanted to make this visit an extended stay in Gardiner. The Absaroka Lodge was a perfect location. We stayed in a Queen suite with a kitchen for 11 nights. The room was very clean, kitchen was wonderfully stocked, bed was very comfortable. All rooms have decks overlooking the Yellowstone River with small table and chairs. Sitting there in the evening, we were visited by female elk with babies and mule deer. Perfect stay, great accommodations!

This hotel is about a half mile from the northern entrance of Yellowstone National Park and sits right next to the Yellowstone River. As I understand it, each room has its own balcony/deck overlooking the river. It was lovely and very relaxing. My room was clean and well appointed…met all my needs. They do not offer breakfast and it was a bit of a challenge finding somewhere to have a sit-down breakfast each morning. We found something but there was not much chance for variety. It was a quiet and peaceful atmosphere and gave us quick and easy access to Yellowstone. The staff was accommodating and treated us well.

The Absaroka Lodge was a great place for us to stay during our trip to Yellowstone. Chris at the check-in desk was awesome! Informative and kind, he made check-in very easy! All of the staff there were great. We stayed for two nights - very convenient location - less than 5 minutes to Yellowstone's entrance. Walked to dinner both nights (Iron Horse Bar & Grill and the Cowboy Grille), as well as shops and ice cream. You can even walk to the Roosevelt Arch, where we saw elk crossing each night - there were even a few near the lodge. We had a lovely balcony overlooking the Yellowstone River (two chairs and a table). The room was clean (other than a few spiders, but being so close to the river that's not unexpected). Microwave, fridge, A/C, and great TV. Comfortable bed. We would stay again!

Nice, clean hotel room with a great view. Beds and pillows both very comfortable. Good size room. Bathroom clean. Felt safe and comfortable. Friendly, helpful staff. Gave recommendations for food places and tips for Yellowstone. Would stay again.
