If you are planning to go in September 2024, note the following from the Xanterra website, recently posted: **Due to scheduled renovation, the Lake Yellowstone Hotel kitchen, hotel rooms, and food service (dining room and deli) will be closed beginning September 2, 2024. The following will remain open & available through the end of the season on October 6, 2024: The front desk, adjacent Sandpiper Lodge (standard rooms), guest cabins, gift shop, and tours. Wylies Canteen at Lake Lodge will be open through breakfast on October 6, 2024.**

The hotel is lovely and the setting spectacular! When the dining room isn't backed up [which happened too often], the food is good. But this hotel is a splurge, yet there was no housekeeping for five days, the promised ethernet connection didn't work, and IT never came as promised. I messaged the company from the property with our frustration [two weeks ago] and have never received even an acknowledgement. We know there are challenges to staying within the park, but this was a colossal disappointment. Update: Xanterra, the company that runs the hotel, did get back to me with a gracious solution.

We absolutely loved the Lake Yellowstone Hotel! We arrived a little bit earlier than check-in time, and they were nice enough to let us check in since our room was ready. We had a deluxe hotel room, and it was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was big with lots of counter space. We didn't have a Lakeview room, but just down the hall was a sitting area that overlooked the lake. We also loved to sit on the front porch and enjoy the gorgeous lake views with an adult beverage in the evening...a perfect ending after a day full of hiking and adventures. We had breakfast there each morning and it was very reasonably priced considering it was an all-you-can-eat buffet and included coffee and juice. I can't rave enough over the goat cheese quiche! I couldn't get enough!!! We also had a dinner reservation one evening and we were so pleased with the meal. It was delicious! All the staff was friendly... from the moment we checked in to the friendly waitresses and waiters. There was live piano music which added to the lovely atmosphere. The gift shop was nice, too, with a local artist on-site. I loved everything about this place and would definitely stay here again! The ONLY thing that I would say could have made things better... there was no room service and the bar area was understaffed. But, we were there during the off-season in late September and I understand that many workers were probably college students who were back in school. Other than that, LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this beautiful place!!! Highly recommend. Five stars!!!

Stayed in cabins behind hotel which are pricey, but cheap compared to hotel. It was a basic cabin with two beds, no TV or internet The bathroom was small , but water pressure was fine and hot. Gets the job done

Booked a year in advance. Spent 3 nights in the park at 3 different locations. It was ki da expensive but felt like the cost was worth it for the convenience of staying in the park. Did don't want to spend our time driving in and out of park. Able to get an early start in the morning without the crowds.
