We stayed in Moran Lodge while hiking in Yellowstone. The lodge is a good location for Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Mt Washburn, Elephant Back Mountain. The lobbies of the lodges are beautiful, the rooms are very nicely appointed, with comfortable beds and the bathrooms are updated. It is nice that the sink area is outside of the shower/toilet room, allowing for multiple people to get ready. The one oddity is that you have to put your room key into a reader by the door in order to get the lights to turn on. As with most “in the park” hotels, no TV in the room. That’s fine - we spent all day hiking, got back late and we’re ready for bed! It was great they had a general store and a post office on site too.

Arrived to a HOT room. They were painting the outside, so had covered the windows. No A/C, and the rooms closed all day in hot weather made them miserable. We were able to get a fan from the desk. Luckily it was cooling down outside and after an hour or so they took the covering off, so we could open the windows and get a breeze. We LOVED staying IN the park, which cut down on driving a bunch. Definitely a step up from the older lodges and cabins. WiFi and cell service is still spotty at best.

The Canyon Lodge was clean and comfortable. The price was very high, but the vendor Xanterra has a monopoly so it can charge whatever it wants. The “Lodge” is like a huge motel made up of several buildings with no common areas. No housekeeping is offered day to day.

Horrible experience. They placed us in a room above the main entrance to the Hayden Lodge, with double automatic doors that were extremely loud. Any time someone went through them, we heard it in the room, and slept poorly because of it. When I complained to the front desk, the agent didn't care and kept saying "gotcha" as a response. The food service was also terrible (the Xanterra portion, the rest was fine by other companies). Very bad customer service.

We went 3 nights in Yellowstone. It was expensive but felt like it was worth it. Didn't want to spend time driving in and out of the park. 1st night at Canyon Lodge Cabins, 2nd night at Lake Yellowstone Cabins and 3rd night at Old Faithful Lodge Cabins.
