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

It met expectations. The dining left something to be desired, but you’re not there for the food , right? The hotel was nice and parking was plentiful.

Historic Old Style Hotel
We were given a room in the smaller 2nd building on the second. Building doesn't have an elevator. The bed was comfortable but the bathroom could have been cleaner.
We were disappointed to not be able to get reservations for dining either night we were there. Every staff member we encountered were very friendly. Not having internet service was inconvenient

Gorgeous views, pleasant staff, relaxing vacay!
We stayed two nights. The front desk staff (Laura, Patricia & Mgr. Carol were outstanding! They helped us upgrade to a larger bed to ensure our 42 year marriage did not end on their grounds! 😜 The rest of the staff including the wait staff, concierge etc were also of highest caliber. We really enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel!

Very basic, but great location and value
The cabins were quite dated and didn’t have fridge or microwaves available, but it was a good deal for staying in the park.

Upon first arrival, the hotel is overwhelming with beauty. Full of history and immaculate in every detail. The staff were absolutely wonderful. Check in was smooth and staff was very friendly. The grounds were immaculate and the view of the lake just breathtaking. A great decision on our part to stay there while visiting Yellowstone!

There are many other better hotels.
If you like to have a social media detox and to go diet, this hotel would be perfect. It’s not my style.

Take a pass on Yellowstone Lake resort.
It was overpriced, dated, and lacked timely maintenance compared to the Mammoth Hotel.
The age is showing on this hotel and cabins. For as much money Xanterra Management makes managing properties like the resorts in Yellowstone you’d think they’d have infused a large sum into the Yellowstone Lake resort. Much of what we encountered was over price mediocre meals and trips inside the park.

Gross Hotel
There is no, air conditioning, WIFI or Television!!
Only one place to eat dinner in the hotel and it was book the two nights we stayed. The only other place to eat was down the street and it was a gross cafeteria!!
The worst thing was it was filthy!!!! Do Not stay there!!!

Beautiful Hotel and Inn
We had a great stay at the Sand Piper. No a/c in the heat of the day and night was rough, but the breeze was blowing too the front of the Inn, and I think the rooms on that side were much more comfortable. There was a vision at the front door each afternoon, which was a great up and personal addition!

The cabins at the Lake Yellowstone Hotel were a great getaway. They were within walking distance to the lake, dining and other attractions. Would definitely stay again.

Disappointment
The park was beautiful, but the hotel sucked. Black mold on the bottom grout line in the shower (gross), only one towel per person given (I need two) and they weren't changed, so we had to use damp towels from first day on. The in the room coffee was the worst tasting and it was our 40th wedding anniversary trip. I'll never stay there again and I'm telling all my friends to NEVER stay at the lake lodge!

Great stay! Quieter side of the park
Fabulous. Bare bones being in a national park, but they all are like that. Its a cabin not the Ritz. The hotel had good reasonably priced food as well.
