I brought a larger group here and we got four rooms. Mostly, everything was good. I did tell the staff that my personal room didn't have hot water shortly after our arrival. They said they would fix it but I ended up without hot water. I'm personally extremely disappointed but I guess the other rooms were okay. I'll probably try somewhere else next time I go back.

Lodge outside the Rockies, conveniently located to the park. Upon entering the room there’s nothing that stands out that makes you go oh this is a good room! However, the bed was probably one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in while traveling.

We enjoyed Discovery Lodge for many reasons including the hot tub, in room fire place (firewood provided for free), cabin decor, location, parking was easy, we did check out early due to the weather and the staff offered us a refund but unable to get due to Expedia. Nonetheless we were very happy with our stay.
