expensive but location goes a long way. The hotel puts you right where all the best tourist spots are located, restaurant served great food and walking the beach after dinner was amazing. being in the park when the sun came up allowed us to visit the best locations before the buss's full of people showed up.

We stayed in a small one room cottage. Check in is at the main lodge. On the pricey side, but it was comfortable, amenities are are basic. No frig in the room, so if you have food with you get some ice from the main lodge. Right near the lake, go for a scenic drive.

This is a historic 19th century hotel on the tranquil shores of Yellowstone Lake. We had a beautiful room overlooking the lake with a nice sized bathroom. The whole building was well-kept. We had dinner and breakfast in the dining room. We had a reservation so there was no wait. The dining room was elegant and the food for both meals was very satisfying, especially the breakfast which was offered buffet style and had a very nice selection of food although we were there at end of season.

We stayed in one of the rooms with the view of a lake for 2 nights in June. It was during the peak season and there wasn’t many options available. I paid 500+USD per night, but the room and the service were disappointing. The hotel is right next to the lake, but the lake view from the room was not impressive. The room was small, dark and dirty. The pillows were uncomfortable. House keeping was bad. We didn’t eat in the dinning room because we couldn’t reserve dinner at the preferable time. The food at the cafe was boring. Piano was played in the lounge, which was too crowded to be enjoyable. Good points: (1) beautiful heritage building, (2) the hotel is next to the beautiful lake (3) the elks visited the hotel ground in early morning. I could see that the hotel has potentials, but renovation is needed and the service should be improved.

We stayed the first weekend in October which seems like it was pretty much the end of the season. Our room was cozy despite it being chilly outside - the heating in this building is old and makes a lot of noise as it comes on and off. It woke us up many times our first night, so we just turned it off on the following nights and slept fine. The bathroom was attractive, but you had to wedge yourself in to open and close the door. Toiletries provided were better than average. Although we LOVED our stay in Yellowstone, there were very few dining options due to it being the end of the season. We pretty much had to dine at our hotel and they kept the restaurant half empty while making us wait over an hour to be seated - clearly poor management and it seems consistent from reading other reviews as well.
