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!

We were given a cabin rather than the hotel. It was not clear when I booked that it was the case. Moving forward, the learning is not to book places where they have cabins because that’s where will end up.

Adequate for a national park cabin

It was ok.. cabins are in disrepair and the grounds are unsightly … looks like a neglected field with zero upkeep. Cabins were adequate and over priced… no services

There were weeds and mold on the outside. The front desk was only ok-did not feel very welcome. There was no WiFi and we had to go across the street to Lake Lodge lobby to get slow internet. Why did Lake Lodge have internet and not Yellowstone Lake hotel? We had to wait to get a dinner table even though we had a reservation. I would not recommend this hotel to my family or friends. It was expensive for what we received.

checked in about 10 pm - staff wasn't very forthcoming with informaiton about where things were like ice, restaurantes etc. - we were in the "cabins" which were quite a distance from any amenities, had to figure it out. Cabins were adequate and everything was clean and worked.

no wifi

There is wifi coverage but it is not available to guests. I booked two rooms with the same confirmation number, and the front desk manager was very unprofessional. He checked for several hours and only gave me the key at 11pm.

Located in Yellowstone National Park with a view of the lake. Excellent for anyone looking to explore the area. The accommodation was perhaps a little tired in places for those who worry a lot about such things, but perfectly suitable for a short stay.

While the setting at Lake Yellowstone Hotel is beautiful the cabin accommodation is quite run down and small for the price. Also the hotel would benefit from additional facilities, for example fitness, spa, games room for children.

Arrived in the Lobby and waited close to 10 minutes to be addressed. There were 3 agents who wouldnt even make eye contact after they were freed up. It looked like they were very uncomfortable dealing with BROWN people. Eventually, when it looke like they had no other choice but to check us in, we were summoned to the front desk. Not one time during the 3-4 minute check in process
