Travelodge by Wyndham Gardiner Yellowstone Park North — Hotel in West Yellowstone

This was a great find! My 1st visit to Yellowstone and I needed 4 nights of reasonable stay. The town of Gardiner was a great choice and picking the Travelodge was a lucky choice. This Hotel is located above the street level and my room was on the 3rd floor! I have issues with steps and was very concerned at check-in but the elevator worked consistently every time. Th. ere was no community breakfast but the Hotel provided a grab and go bag that I appreciated which had an individually wrapped muffin, a fruit cup, a yogurt cup, and a bottle of water. Every day, at 6:30AM! Wonderful! I rated this amenity with 5 big stars. Another great amenity of this Hotel was the in room refrigerator, which had a freezer unit! I ranked this amenity with another 5 big stars. When you are picnicking your way thru Yellowstone, you appreciate having frozen water bottles in your pack to keep your stuff cool! My cable TV was the perfect size and provided me with consistent entertainment. I had Direct TV. Great channel selections! I watched an entire 1 hour Adam and Eve Commercial about sex toys on discount! I know very little about how to use these things! Now I know a little more. My room offered me a fantastic view of the Yellowstone Mountains in the distance from right outside my doorway. I shared a common balcony with everybody else on the 3rd floor so security freaks will not like this setup, but I travel with no valuables, so I did not use the in-room safe that was provided, for an additional $2.00 per night! My room was equipped with an excellent A/C that was located on the opposite side of the room from the bed. Nice! I hate A/C blowing directly on me. Do you need A/C when visiting Yellowstone in late August? Yes, you do! I am a hiker, and I was hot, sweaty, and exhausted by the time I returned from the Park. I appreciated that my room was cooled down to 68 degrees when I opened the door! And the AC unit was 5 star quiet, too! Letting me sleep undisturbed. My room had 2 queen beds but no place to eat! Nothing! I had to set up the 2nd bed as a dining table. Not good! My bed was very comfortable, for me. I like a stiff mattress. I did not like the tiny, over-stuffed pillows! My head keeps rolling off these things! The bathroom had a great power exhaust system that rid the space of steam and stench efficiently. The bathtub/shower unit was a custom fit unit that got the job done. Hot water was hot enough. The step over was manageable for my limited flexibility. There was a grab bar for help getting in, but no help getting out. The toilet was a problem for me. It was so low that my feet went asleep as I did my thing. (Why do hotels do this? Don't more senior citizens travel than little freaking children?) The bathroom space had excellent light and the counter space was an excellent, deep solid surface amenity, fronting a great full mirror! I rated the bathroom with another 5 stars. My room had no microwave. So to heat up take out from the restaurants in town, you needed to visit another room where there was a microwave. This room was also equipped with tables and chairs, and with internet. Usually I heated up my meal and ate in this room while I answered my email! My room was equipped with a leisure chair that was very comfortable and it slid out to the balcony easily for a relaxing view of the sunset.

Summary- this hotel was great! I hope to return. Staff was very friendly. Complimentary coffee in the lobby was weak but it was included! Breakfast bags were included. Convenient parking was included (and 1 block above Gardiner's major street for added security). It had an elevator and a breakfast room with a microwave, and an in room refrigerator with freezer. I hope that you do not read this and decide to compete with me for my next...

Everything but the views.

Look, I know how this sounds, but I feel like I have to write a review like this, I try not to be that guy, but the ac didn't work, even on the lowest setting it just constantly ran with slightly warmer than outside temp. The shower was extremely slippery and our shower squealed with an annoyingly loud sound that wouldn't stop.

Day shift was super cool, super nice, and super friendly, but we mostly interacted with night shift that felt like we were a bother while she constantly had wireless headphones in.

We also were not told about house keeping only happening on the 3rd day, and by request only, and that it had to be done by 7 am (not an ideal time while trying to relax on vacation)

The views were incredible, but the room left a lot to be missed.

On top of that, one of my travel buddies had worms in their rooms while the others had the same problems except the shower squeal.

The coffee was great and...

My daughter and I stayed here for 4 nights in July 2024. The hotel is conveniently located in Gardiner and is 5 minutes from the entrance to the northern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. We were on the fourth floor, and we had great views of the nearby mountains, and we could see the Roosevelt Arch.

We found the room to be comfortable and clean. The beds and pillows were soft and comfortable. There was a mini fridge in the room but no microwave. There was a small hair dryer in the bathroom. The hotel does not have breakfast in the morning. They do have coffee and tea for guests. There is coin operated washers and dryers for guests on the second floor. There are four washers and four dryers. The high-speed wi-fi was good, and we had no issues. You can walk to town and there are two nearby restaurants. There is Outlaws and the restaurant at the Antler Lodge.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay in Gardiner, MT and found the hotel and...
