Staying here has long been on my bucket list so it was a must do when we started planning our trip to Yellowstone. I had a hard time coughing up the price for one night but did anyway since we had always wanted to stay here. While it was cool to see it, the money would have been better spent elsewhere. We had a basic 2 queen room with a private bathroom. We were in the west wing and the room had minimal amenities. Looking back, I wish I had booked us elsewhere, especially with the $600+/night price tag.

Very disappointing stay. Buffet was was cold- not replenished. $50 per head you would expect much better quality. Food options were not labelled. The rooms were very dated and did not have A/C, TV or Wi Fi. The bed was very small and the carpet was heavily soild. The cost of a nights stay in this property did not meet or even come close to our expectations. We have stayed in 5* hotels for a lot less! Don't bother! Look elsewhere for your accommodation when visiting Yellowstone.

Beautiful historic building and great location however it was very expensive for the lack of amenities. Be prepared for no refrigerator, or AC in the room and they do not have internet in the ENTIRE BUILDING. So if you need those things, I'd look elsewhere. We had to call the front desk to ask them to look up the weather and driving times etc. Make sure you make reservations ahead of time for the restaurant otherwise you'll have to wait until after 9:15pm to be seated. We had to walk to another lodge to get internet and my husband has a bad ankle, and after being active during the day had to hobble SEVERAL MINUTES to the other lodge to take care of business. He was in such pain by the time he got back it almost put him out of commission. There's no luggage trolleys available so if you need help you need to pay a porter to help you. It would be nice to have the choice.

The contrast between the public spaces, location and the actual rooms is striking. Lodge appearance and location wise you are in a 5 star location. It doesn't get better than this for YS! The lodge looks beautiful from the outside and the inner public areas. Once you get to your room, you feel like you are in a run down Motel 6 however and on top of that no TV or WiFi. Not bad wifi, no wifi. Unless you have Verizon, do not expect to do anything with your mobile devices that isn't already on them and can be done offline. Back to the 50's I guess. If you think this sounds bad, I would go back in a heartbeat, because everything else is pretty awesome there.

No AC so traveling in the summer months is not recommended. Our room was a newer room with 2 queen beds. Beds were very uncomfortable and outdated. The price per night is significantly overvalued.
