The property is gorgeous. The room was in need of a deep clean. Room mirror was dirty. The shower tub was gross with soap scum and a moldy shower curtain. The bed did not have a fitted sheet or a bed pad. The food was disgusting, McDonalds would be considered a 5 star compared to this. For the price you pay it could and should be better. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Lake Yellowstone is great for focusing on nature and limiting technology. It should be noted there is no WiFi and service is very poor in the room which can make planning excursions or gps navigation difficult. You also have to make a reservation if you want to eat at the hotel restaurant. Overall, the hotel was beautiful and wildlife was outside every day!

Stay was great. Only demerit was appetizers. We missed out on a reservation for the dining room. We were ok with that except only three appetizers were offered. One, the charcuterie board, was marginally ok. Would've liked to see hummus and veggies, avacado dip and veggies or chips, tuna or beef bites, etc.

Not as advertised. For the money, not a good value. Picture of the Hotel deceptive--when you get there you are put in an unattractive cabin.

The location is incomparable. It snowed in late June, so we got to see Yellowstone as it is in both winter and summer in the same trip. Magical. Snow covered mountains in June, visible across the lake, were awesome. Too cold for a boat ride. We liked our cabin. Quiet, comfortable, safe. One beautiful elk was ever present on the property. Unfortunately, the main hotel was not yet open, so the restaurant was not open either. That was disappointing. The cafeteria-style dining at a nearby lodge was not great. The hotel staff was courteous and accommodating. The lack of WiFi, while it could be considered a plus while on vacation, was actually a liability for us. They need to vacuum and clean better behind the headboards of the beds (very dusty).
