We stayed three nights in an Old Faithful Snow Lodge Cabin. The Snow Lodge was the only accomodation still open at the time we visited, with everywhere else already closed for the season. The cabins are quite small, very basic, and the beds are TINY! it was supposed to be a double bed, but I swear it was even smaller, and either the floor or bed sloped so we kept rolling to one side. The bed was also too short for my husband (who is, at 6 feet 2 inches, admittedly quite tall), and his feet stuck out the end. The staff at the hotel desk were rather less than helpful, hotel facilities pretty limited (no games room or gym for example) and the food in the restaurant both awful and expensive (see my other review of the Obsidian Dining Room). On the plus side, the shower was hot, and the room nice and warm, even when the outside temperature dropped to -16 degrees C. It was also good to stay in the main geyser area, as we could walk around in the morning before the tourist buses started to arrive, with hardly anyone else about. Tea, coffee and toiletries were provided, and the cabin was serviced every day. However, due to the uncomfortable bed and appalling food we didn’t get a whole lot of sleep, and would certainly not recommend staying here.

This hotel is across the huge parking lot from Old Faithful Inn and geyser. It's not as large, it's newer and certainly quieter. The rooms were large and clean. The Obsidian had a great/affordable breakfast and nice bar area. (We couldn't get in here for dinner but had reservations across the road) The staff at both the front desk and restaurant/bar were great-very friendly. This is much more sedate than across the road but suited us well. Location is good for getting up to Mammoth/Norris area and down to Lake/West Thumb. There is a lot to see in this part of the park so it made a great base.

This hotel has seen a lot of wear and tear, but they are trying. Imagine a world famous site with a constant stream of tourists. Given that I think they do pretty well at the hotel. The front desk staff was helpful and friendly. The room was small but clean. It is just a busy place. We were there as they had started the winter closing, so some things were closed. However, if we had not stayed at the Snow Lodge we would have been snowed out, since it snowed our first day there. Being at the Lodge allowed us to avoid all that hassle and enjoy the park. In reading other reviews, I want to clarify we had WiFi at no extra charge, a little slow but adequate for communication. I have seen geysers in Iceland and New Zealand and within walking distance from the hotel you can see more than I saw in those two locations combined. .

right in the heart of the park, 3 minute walk to Old Faithful......rooms very clean and well appointed......lots of places to sit and have a drink and socialize......had a wonderful meal in the restaurant, try the pheasant/boar/bison sausage sampler - delicious, desserts to die for (limoncello tartufo! ), amazing bison ribs, rainbow trout, etc etc.....breakfast buffet quite nice and fresh

Yellowstone National Park is an amazingly beautiful place. Everyone should visit. However, the "deluxe cabins" are far from being deluxe. The cabins need updating. They were clean but very depressing. The restaurant's food needs serious improvement. Maybe the rooms at the hotel are better, but we o not encourage anyone to stay there,
