Very Disappointed

Published Date: Oct, 10, 2022 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2022 Rating: 2 We stayed at Grant Village for 4 nights. While the location was very nice, that is about all it has going for it. The room was okay - but very dated. The matress and pillows need serious replacing. The furniture was very dusty. We were told the only restaurant open was booked solid - unless we wanted to eat at 9:45 or take our chances sitting around if someone didn't show up. Because of that, we had stale sandwiches for 2 days (at a ridiculous price). There was absolutely no wi-fi anywhere. We were told we could use the Registration building's wi-fi - but that didn't work either. They had to check people in and out by hand. Grant Village is also pretty far south in the park, so if you're wanting to stay a few days, we would suggest staying a little towards the middle of the park, as the roads are terrble. We were very disappointed considering the price we had to pay. Honestly, we've been in better motels. We actually considered just packing it up and checking out. The only good thing we can says it that the people at the registration desk were wonderful and very helpful. We needed an ADA room and they worked their magic to get us one. Take care and Happy traveling

Published Date: Sep, 29, 2022 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2022 Rating: 3 Stayed here with my husband and 1 year old. The park is INSANE and we will 100% be going back but I wouldn’t re book Grant Village unfortunately.
Mainly because it’s so far south next time we would locate ourselves more centrally so that drive time to the north / south loop is less. Grant Village is on a beautiful lake though and anything in YS is gorge so nothing to complain about there!
The accommodation however was a bit of a disappointment…
Was a bit surprised that there was absolutely no wifi which was a bit of a pain as I’m studying and needed to submit an assignment but appreciate some people like to go ‘off grid’ so that’s fine.
No food on site - tiny restaurant that requires advanced booking and food in all the stores is SO EXPENSIVE. Again, not a problem but would highly recommend stocking up on snacks at a supermarket before arrival (and drinks!). Nothing to do once it gets dark so bring stuff with you!
We travel with a lot of stuff these days and there’s no lift so everything has to be lugged up a flight of stairs for first room floors.
The biggest issue for me though was the cleanliness! When you travel with a baby who wants to touch everything and spends time playing on the floor you really notice when places are dusty, need a good hoover and a thorough wipe down! Sadly this place was NOT up to an acceptable standard so inspite of really loving the park we were pleased to move on.
We were there for three nights which was perfect for exploring the park and getting a load of good walks in!
Lake Lodge looks great, we will enquire there next time and Canyon Village is a great hub for food!

COZY

When researching hotels, our main goal was paying a reasonable price and being inside the park. We knew the rooms would be dated and would have "just the basics." But, we would wake up INSIDE the park! The rooms were a tad small, but very clean and cozy! The room did NOT smell bad. We did NOT feel that the walls were paper thin. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the shower had plenty of hot water. There is not an elevator, TV or air-conditioning. Again, we knew this when booking. I am giving this lodge a five star review because it was exactly as described! We never expected a five star resort because we were not paying a five star price. We did our research and got more than we bargained! (and waking up in the park is THE BEST!)

Published Date: Sep, 27, 2022 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2022 Rating: 1 From the beginning, this three day stay was the most overpriced stay for a 1 star property we have experienced - ever! From checking in to check out - terrible. No wifi anywhere! Really? You can get wifi at 35k ft these days. Our bathroom floor was filthy and could not get housekeeping to come clean up the toenail and clean the tub. Fortunately, we had reservations in the restaurant otherwise we would have search for something outside the park for food. No bread for two nights and only one brand of beer was available. We had to go and get our keycard rekeyed the second night for some reason and the system was down—45 minutes later we got that done. Day one, we were told to come back at 4 and given a number for a checkin queue because the system was down. Horrible lines. No microwave, no TV, no wifi, $350 a night. I called to speak to management (Austin) and never got a response. Oh, and guess who pays the salaries of all the employees of this organization? The US taxpayers. Never again. Stay at an Airbnb on the west side of Yellowstone Park.

Room was too small for 4 people, no where to put luggage for 4, shower was so small I could not use ( approx 28" x 28"), no wifi, no phone service, had to get reservations for restaurant, only 5pm or 9pm, so we had to cut our plans short to eat at 5pm. Room was clean. It was overpriced for what you get. Others there said not to eat breakfast at the restaurant as the eggs tasted powered, so we did not.
Will not stay here again!
