Miniature sized bare bones cabin with small double bed basically jammed against the wall on one side, thereby having to crawl from the bottom of the bed for one of the sleepers. No in room small coffee maker. Hot water was unreliable (amazing when would consider being in an incredibly active geothermal area). No wifi (we were warned in advance) reinforces the feeling of being 2nd class citizens, but what does one expect for $240 a night.

Our stay at the lodge was extremely disappointing. Despite expecting a comfortable night, we were forced to retreat to our rented RV due to the deplorable conditions of the room. The accommodations were marred by unpleasant odors, including urine and sewage, stained and soiled carpets, and inadequate soundproofing from the adjacent cabin. The lack of insulation allowed us to hear our neighbors' snoring as if we were sharing a room. Given the substantial cost for a single night, this experience was truly unacceptable.

I spent 2 nights with my wife and kid (18ys old) in a cabin with bathroom at the end of August. When I booked at the end of January the only option was cabin without bathroom but I was lucky to switch in a cabin with bathroom at the end of July (thank you to Xanterra assistant at help desk). The cabin is rustic and very small for 3 adults (expecially the bathroom) and I had to leave some luggage in my car, but it has everything you need. It was probably the worst of our 3 accomodations in the park....but we loved so much our little nest facing Old Faithful.

The staff at the Old Faithfull Lodge are friendly and helpful. There is a cafeteria in the building which is decent and there is a little shop where you can buy breakfast.
The cabins are clean and spacious enough. They are located next to the famous geyser so it’s easy to see the eruption. (We saw old Faithful erupt 5 times in two days without even trying). You can also park next to the cabin.
Only negative side is the bathrooms. The cabins have a sink, but no toilet or shower. We knew this when booking, but the bathroom facilities were a bit dirty and very basic.
Clean, amazing location, quiet and bigger than mammoth!

I was quite worried about staying at the cabins after reading other reviews and also as we couldn't book a cabin with a bathroom as they sell out so quickly.
I was pleasantly surprised as the cabin was more spacious than the cabin at mammoth (where we paid twice as much and couldn't even put a suitcase on the floor). Still small- but not too bad.
Was clean inside and at least has a sink so you can have a wash and clean teeth in the cabin.
We had a cabin on the outskirts overlooking the woods so it was nice and quiet.
Toilet blocks were clean and showers were good.
Wow- you can walk to old faithful too- just amazing! I would have booked two nights instead of one in retrospect.
