This property is overpriced. I realize it is inside the park, and that was convenient, but it is ridiculously overpriced for what it offers. The room was just ok at best. Restaurant was impossible to get same day reservation for dinner. Did have breakfast there. Buffet was the only option, which I dislike a lot because I simply cannot eat enough to justify the buffet price, and the options on the buffet were not great. My biggest complaint was the broken and filthy toilet seat. I definitely would not recommend this place or stay there again, in spite of the convenience.

The Lake Yellowstone Hotel is incredibly convenient as a pick-up location for the fabulous park-run guided tours of Yellowstone and a central place from which to drive around the incredible park. Some hotel staff were stellar and others seemed like they did not want to be there, but we were there toward the end of the what I am sure is ab exhausting season. Our shower curtain was not what I would call clean nor were the baseboards in the bathroom. I did not realize dinner reservations should be made 60 days in advance - so now readers know - make dinner reservations WAY in advance. There are not a lot of food options - but the kitchen also needs to serve an unbelievable number of people. We absolutely would stay here again for the incredible convenience and the staff members who did go out of their way to be nice. Yellowstone National Park is beyond compare for the wildlife and thermal geology! Staying in the park can really make your time there much more enjoyable!! Book the National Park guided tours - they are amazing!!! We took two and they were worth every penny and every minute of our time! We were picked up right at the hotel!

On the positive side, there is very quiet in the cabins area, since there is no internet, no TV. On the negative side, there is not enough compound lighting, it was hard to get to and from the car to the door, complete darkness after sunset. Oh, and gases from an active hot spring nearby can accumulate in the cabin overnight, may produce severe headaches, nausea and cold sweats.

The history of the hotel made it very unique, however the mattress needs to be replaced. I had a spring poking me in my hip which made sleeping difficult.

Rooms are dated but bathrooms are good. Unfortunately we were on the 4th floor and there was a drip drip water noise during the night which made it hard to sleep. At the restaurant some dishes were ok but food is inconsistent and overcooked. Because of its location there are no other local options.

Although this cabin was petite and a tad dated, it had everything we needed for a really nice 3 night stay in the park. It was super clean with very comfortable beds, the heat worked well, the hot water worked great. We loved the location within the park and enjoyed seeing the elk several evenings on the property. Wifi was very sketchy but that was sort of nice to disconnect a bit. We could find it right up the street at the Lake Lodge as well as some other spots within the park. Be sure to walk the entire property especially down by the lake which was beautiful. I would absolutely stay there again and would highly recommend it.

Definitely an old hotel. Room was small. Lake view wasnโ€™t worth the price. Mice scratching inside the walls!
Lake view? Hardly worth ~$700 a night!
Shower curtain was moldy and should have been replaced.
A Qtip and dust on the shelf.
