We stayed in the cabins, since the main hotel is under construction. The cabins were OK, but they were not cleaned well or in a timely manner. Also, its good to know ahead of time that there are NO minifridges in the cabins. This upgrade would make a huge difference for people trying to feed their family breakfast, lunch, and snacks on a budget without relying on overpriced park options for every meal!

The historic cabins were nicely remodelled! Lake is a centrally located locationn for a trip to Yellowstone.

Room seems never cleaned and dusted. There is a broom in the room for your self service cleaning. All surfaces are covered with dust, including table, chair, beds and towels. Worst hotel room I ever stayed, and the most expensive one!

Lake Yellowstone Hotel is not a resort or a spa, was NEVER advertised as one, the lake itself is not a playground for humans...there is NO beach to swim at, NO place to rent jet skis, NO picnic locations and if you go outside for walk you'll be watching for the wildlife that might be in the area who are given more right to be there than you. It was nice to have a herd of Elk and a lone Bison roaming the hotel area, this is what to expect around the whole park. At the hotel, the wife and I were happy to disconnect from the wired world, sleep in darkness with no street lamps and no sirens sounding off like we were in the city. We were well aware, coming in early June, that the hotel was just opening up and ramping up with the staffing. We also knew that the dining room was closed for renovations. We were fortunate that the hotel coffee shop was opened that served lattes and hot drinks, it was a busy place and they make a great Huckleberry Latte. The only disappointment was that hotel sun room was also closed, we were not told of this only until a week before arriving. A hotel stay there is like summer cabin experience...you have a clean room, bed, shower with hot water, flushing toilet...that's it. Rooms do not have television, do not have Wi-Fi, the park is not the best with cell coverage and there are no resort amenities that more luxury hotels have. So why stay at the Lake Yellowstone Hotel? Old Faithful, Canyon Village, Grant Village, Mammoth Hot Springs, Hayden Valley, Lamar Valley...all these places are locations to spend your time at while in the park, the Lake Yellowstone Hotel is your base camp. You are travelling to Yellowstone for the park...for the wildlife, for the geological features that makes this national park special. If you come to Yellowstone looking for luxury accommodation and pampered service, then simply put...do not stay in the park, do not come to Yellowstone National Park...this hotel is not a playground for the luxury traveler or for the otherwise entitled!

Although located in the Park, dining room was closed for remodeling (no notice of same when reservation made. Nearest dining option was basic cafeteria offering only very few selections all over priced for portion size. Three lettuce leaves and a tomato slice do not make a Caesar Salad.
