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 Beds were very uncomfortable and outdated.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.

Between the tiny room, moldy shower stall, no room cleaning, no WiFi, OFI is a terrible value for the cost

My wife and I stayed in a Deluxe Queen room for one night. We paid $628/night which is obscene for what you get. You are paying for the location and the location is admittedly outstanding. The Inn is a short walk from Old Faithful and the Upper Geyser Basin trail. We even saw Old Faithful erupt while having drinks on their 2nd floor balcony. The place is very historic and it’s interesting to see all of the logs incorporated in the building. Our room was decent sized and in reasonably good shape. There was only one night stand though and the shower didn’t work well. The door didn’t seem to be soundproofed as we could hear everything going on in the hallway. We had dinner and breakfast at their main restaurant. Dinner was disappointing but we liked the breakfast. (See separate review.) Parking is a pain. You have to find a spot in one of the nearby lots that are used by people visiting Old Faithful and/or the Upper Geyser Basin trail. It’s possible that the lots are filled. The hotel informs you up front that the rooms have no AC, TV or Wi-Fi. Charging $628/night for a room with all of these shortcomings is borderline criminal IMO. If you want to provide a room and amenities from 1925 then charge 1925 prices. I was glad I stayed one night to experience it but I would not return.

The hotel is beautiful and historic. However: 1. There is NO A/C in the hotel anywhere. The old wood of the building soaks up the summer heat (it was 90 degrees the two days we were there) and they only have windows and loud fans to help alleviate the heat, which only dissipates in the early morning hours. 2. Leaving the windows open all night means that the birds keep you awake. 3. There is NO WiFi. This is 2025. (However, the Ski Lodge Hotel on the same property does have WiFi?) 4. The shower is very historic too: when you turn the water on you may be freezing or burning when your neighbor is using his faucet too. 5. On top of all of that, the faucet was dripping all day and night which was very loud, even though the previous guests had left a note about this issue.
