This hotel is QUIET compared to Old Faithful, primarily because there are no major attractions nearby. The lobby area is gorgeous and classy, where you can sit and read a book. But we did not travel here to sit & read, so you do have to drive a bit to any attractions other than the lake.

We stayed here for 1 night as we were taking a photo tour early the next morning which departed from the hotel. As it was only for 1 night, we chose a room in the Sandpiper Lodge and not in the main hotel itself (cheaper!!). Let's be honest you're paying for the location when you stay here. Check in was very busy so be prepared to wait or just have a drink at the bar! Whilst the room was small it was better than I expected. Very comfortable and clean. The room was en-suite but the sink is in the bedroom - slightly strange:). Don't think there is a lift (sorry elevator to any American readers!) in the lodge so might not suit anyone with mobility issues. As is stated, there is no wifi or TVs; however it's really not an issue. All in all for one night it was perfectly acceptable.

Lake yellowstone hotel is a historic place to stay. No internet, no tv, no ac but one of the greatest views of the park. The room is average and makes noise when the heat comes on. But it’s all part of the surroundings. In the restaurant t, I had Elk chops. Good and different. Service was average. There are many things to do from the hotel and I recommend the ring of fire excursion. Nice clean place to stay.

Our cabin was quite small but comfortable, though lacking in internet connection. Good effort at sustainability with trash segegated into paper, plastics etc. There was an issue with restroom drainage which was put right very efficiently. Restaurant rather pretentious, aspiring to 'fine dining' but not there yet. Too much queuing outside restaurant.

I have to assume it is demand that drives up the prices but it was worth it to us. The entire facility is very nice and in a beautiful setting. We stayed in a cabin not too far from the lake. ALL staff was friendly, the cabin was clean & comfortable. The only negative for me was the lighting was very poor due to (I'm guessing) the energy saving light bulbs. Since we only stayed one night it was all fine with us - especially since we are used to sleeping in a tent! :-) We would definitely stay there again.
