We had read the reviews and were a bit afraid of getting dirty room, bad service, room not ready, etc. Instead we had very clean rooms, a great staff and a wonderful experience with pre-dinner cocktails at the bar listening to a wonderful quartet of violinists play with an amazing view of the lake. Overall, our experience was extremely positive at this hotel. Our dinner was fantastic with reasonably priced wine and entrees that were really well cooked (shrimp and polenta and the steak with fries, cooked to perfection). The service was good and the ambiance worked, too. Our only complaint is the buffet breakfast is pretty bad. The chefs can and need to do much better. The eggs were disgusting (assume they were some kind of powder eggs?) and its not that hard to make scrambled eggs and provided actually cooked toast, etc. The service was also slow for breakfast and the wait to get in made no sense. Other than the breakfast buffet, this place ROCKS. Thanks again.

Clean room, good location, great view and the service, very good experience, strongly recommend, will visit again

Lake Yellowstone Hotel is a beautiful property. The setting is worth the visit. I would caution an overnight stay as we could hear what sounded like bowling balls being dropped on the floor above us, and the constant moving of furniture. I am sound sleeper, but this noise seemed to occur every time we came back to our room, and i might have slept sound for an hour each night of our two night stay. After checking with reception about moving to another room, and discovering the hotel was overbooked, i was stuck with constant noise bombardment. Absolutely visit for dinner, the lobby and seating in the front of the hotel with lake views, engage with staff who are very knowledgeable...but consider how much you value sleep. I'll put it this way, i had to take a nap in my rental car to find sound sleep longer than an hour.

Loved this location and hotel accommodations for the beauty of the area, the historical significance of the Lake Yellowstone Hotel and the great service we received for just a one night stay. My husband's mobility needs were addressed and we really enjoyed our stay. We especially liked watching the grazing buffalo from the veranda of the hotel. They also have a great gift shop!
