Not Good

I fully recognize this hotel is VERY old. Our standard twin bed room (1023)on the first floor of the east wing was spotlessly clean and and furniture and paint seems to be fairly new. But the room was noisy at all hours of the night from people walking on the floors (including the walkway to the rooms on the floors above us). This is an all wood building and this is probably to be expected. We lived with it but suggest others bring earplugs. The room was very small and the bathroom fixtures were "classic"-- again OK and everything worked OK. Out big problems were with the quality of food in the main dining room and the lack of any internet access in the inn. For any access to the internet we had to go over to the Snow Inn lobby. There is ABSOLUTELY NO internet access anywhere in the Old Faithful Inn. We did have cell phone service with our Verizon cell service. It was the food in the dining room that was atrocious. We had the breakfast buffet twice and it was AWFUL. Scrambled eggs were all dried out and just crumbles. The potatoes were cold. The bacon was cold and burned. Then we had two dinners there. One night I ordered a chicken dish with a gravy on it. but they ran out of the gravy. I asked for it with a gravy from another dish and no problem. But when it was served, the chicken was SO dry that I was unable to cut it with a knife even with force. I returned it and selected the dinner buffet instead. Selected the short ribs, mashed potatoes, and beans instead and it was excellent but the other dishes on the buffet all looked dried out. My wife ordered a fish dish off the menu and it was just OK- nothing special. I recommend avoiding the main dining room, despite it's beauty (only in the front part of the main dining room). It was nice to visit this very old and traditional wood based inn but we would never stay there again. OK to visit but there seemed to be more modern accommodations adjoining the Old Faithful Inn.

Our room was not ready when we arrived.. we waited over an hour. The morning breakfast buffet had a 45 minute wait for seating. The room was noisy and we had no Wi-Fi. The staff was very nice. We paid over 600 for 1 night. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Overrated hotel in Yellowstone!

While I love the history this hotel is overrated. It was the most expensive hotel we stayed at in Yellowstone ($637 with taxes and fees for 1 night) and our least favorite. The older lady at the front desk was probably the most unfriendly worker I've ever encountered at the park. She was very short with us at check-in, acting like it was an inconvenience to wait on us. The rooms lack. Our West Wing room was tiny, the sink was directly across from the bed and it just recked old and outdated. Our friends' room had linoleum bathroom floors. There are no tv's or ac, which is a common theme throughout the park. But surprisingly there's also no internet. Yep, you read correctly NO INTERNET. So after being in the park all day with virtually no service you then get to the hotel and do not have internet. The Inn is crowded during the day and early evening as everyone wants to see it but at night it gets quieter. We had 8:30 dinner reservations but after seeing that the buffet was already running out of items by 7:45 we elected to stay in the bar area next door and eat there. While I would recommend stopping here to take in the history of the world's largest log cabin I'd spend my money somewhere else in the park for overnight lodging.

An experience staying in an OLD stage coach-like hotel. Glad I can stay we have experienced this but likely would never recommend or stay here again. No parking for guests, rooms are very very small, windows left open during the day (checked in at 6pm) and it rained that day and carpet was soaked from the rain. Avoid eating at the Old Faithful Inn (horrible food and horribly over priced). Only great thing was beating the crowds and watching Old Faithful first thing in the morning.

The Old Faithfull Inn is an amazing building and the Old parts of the Inn are in great condition - this is a real iconic building. The West wing however feels pretty tatty and somewhat run down (frayed and stained carpets) tatty furniture and our neighbors had mice in their room! Even without AC and TV's the Inn is a great place to stay if you can secure a reservation but the more modern west wing is in need of a refurbishment.
