Park was wonderful and plan to come again. Cabins were a notch above glamping. but had all you needed …a bed, a bathroom. Cabins were very basic …no TV, no refrigerator, no internet, no microwave but the beautiful park kept us busy. The location was stunning and I guess that’s what you end up paying for. Restaurant was overpriced but a nice break from cafeteria style. The Basque Cake was out of this world!

Our room and bathroom were very clean, except for the large wood framework around the bathroom mirror. It looked like it hadn’t been wiped down in months and was disgusting to look at, a lot of toothpaste and soap spatter etc. Even though everything else was very clean. Neither Hotels.com nor Yellowstone Lake Hotel mentioned that dinner reservations needed to be made MONTHS in advance. We could not get a single dinner reservation at the hotel. Luckily we were able to buy breakfast at the hotel. The Breakfast buffet was good. Except for the “table boss” who made the host, march us, his customers, back out to her counter to ask HER if we could have an available table by a window. Then she was sarcastic about it. We watched her do it to everyone who asked. It was weird and ridiculous. We heard from other customers the dinners were overpriced and not great. So maybe we were spared that disappointment. We were able to dine at Yellowstone lodge 2 minutes drive away, no reservations required. Burger&fries place.

The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I had a situation where I needed to make a call and my cellphone was not working, so the woman at the desk just handed me her landline phone to make the call. Staff also escorted me to and from the EV charger in the employee quarters. They exceeded my expectations.

We stayed in the Sandpiper Lodge. The hotel is great. I would have liked to have stay there but there were no rooms available. The lodge is old. Rooms look like they are in severe need of upgrading. Everything is old and worn and in dire need of cleaning. We weren’t comfortable and slept poorly most nights. Bed was truly uncomfortable with not even a mattress cover over an old mattress. Not pleased. We tried our best but ended up leaving before our stay was up. The manager Ayla was easy to deal with on this matter and compensated us appropriately and was just truly one of the most understanding and caring people we have encountered. A+ service.

There are not very many options to stay in the park, so we picked Yellowstone Lake based on the location and photos of the property. I thought we were staying in The main hotel building but were located to a very outdated room in the outside building next door. Way too expensive for the room we had. The staff was very nice when we went to get breakfast the next morning. It is a pretty long wait. Also we could not get dinner in the main building- you need reservations which we did not know beforehand. We went to a cafeteria down the street owned by the same hotel, and I do not recommend eating there. They were out of a lot of items and the food quality is poor. I do not recommend staying here.

Was very disappointed in this stay. There is one restraunt that is breakfast and lunch first come first serve if you arrive after 8:00-8:30 you are not able to get in. Which was surprising as we found out it was a buffet. Dinner is reservation only that you could only get a day later. They reverted us to a general store a few miles up the road. When we did eat the food was really good. Wait staff was very friendly. They stated they were short handed and it was last week of season. What we could hear of treatment of their staff it is no wonder they were short handed. The room was clean and view beautiful but not for the price they charge per night there. It was an experience but we will not be staying there again. We did enjoy our time at the lodge a mile up the road that they referred us to. Food and friendly service. It was a burger type restaurant, food was good. Spent most our hotel time there.

Room was not ready at check in time(4pm). Came back an hour later and was still not ready. Once we finally got in our room, coffee mugs were dirty, coffee stains in mug and lipstick marks. Tried to call front desk but phone did not work. Went down to front desk and hotel manager berated housekeeper in front of guest in lobby. She would also continuously cut my wife off from explaining issues we were dealing with. Just a horrible experience

Staff was wonderful! Very helpful and efficient! My only recommendation: when a patron requests a simple cup of coffee after paying for breakfast, exiting the dining room, then making the request only to be told that only those in the dining room could get it, was very off putting and not customer service oriented. The carafes outside the dining room had already been cleared so a simple request was not a big deal. Given the price we paid for three days accommodations with breakfast every day, I would expect better.

Whatever your standards are, lower them. Then lower them again. And then this hotel will meet your new set of standards. While the historic quality of this hotel is not lost on me, and I appreciate that, the beds are terribly uncomfortable and the lack of food availability on site is unacceptable. Staff at the restaurant reservation desk seems to take the light in saying “sorry we’re full“. They make new prioritization for paying guests of the hotel to dine in their restaurant that is only half full at any given point in time. If the price match the quality of the hotel, it would always be full. But there are those like me willing to pay a little extra for the convenience of being in the park. The views are nice, so that makes up for it. It does not make up for lack of ventilation in any room, The need to keep your window open, even if on the first floor. If you’re looking to relax, this is not the place. It is a place to stay not a place to enjoy.
