Sunset was so beautiful. Food was good. And lots chance to see Elc's family around Hotel. The location is also good, because close to Hayden Valley, Old Faithful and even Norris Geyser with using Norris Canyon Road. If there is one thing that could be improved, it is to provide WiFi. But it doesn't matter comparing the other beautiful points.

The hotel and room were nice in general, but since the hotel is very old, the walls and floors are not very effective. We could hear people talking in the adjacent room and the floor above our room creaked so everytime someone walked it made a creaking sound. The housekeeping service was poor too. We had to request them to clean and replenish basic supplies a couple of times before they did it.

Accomodation was overpriced,but that is to be expected. The real disappointment was the dinner. Slow,disorganized, sloppy, and under trained staff, made for an expensive and comical , pretentious dinning experience. The food was OK, just poorly presented

The hotel is fine but we didn’t care for food or food options. The lodge had a cafeteria style (burgers and dogs) where we got burnt burgers. The main restaurant was very expensive and our fish was overcooked. The deli with premade food was the best option. No complaints about that. Just wish there were more options.

YS Lake Hotel is nice, rooms clean & tidy as are most areas. Noted 3 bugs in ceiling corners. No air but fan helped. The Dining Room: food tasteless (trout) and dry. I asked for lemon & did not receive, veggie - green beans marginally cooked. Staff are nice & pleasant but need much improvement with dinner cooks! Spend time on quality!! Breakfast was fine, Floors in dining room also need attention, cleaning & polishing, shows wear & dirtiness. Sorry for poor/ fair review but honest! Stay 2 nights in Aug. 2024.

We were disappointed in the quality of the food in the dining room. Xanterra does a horrible job when it comes to creating a dining experience. It's memorable, but for all the wrong reasons.

Location is great and views of Yellowstone lake are awesome. Staff are freindly and helpfully but could use some more hands. My issues - There were a lot of dead bugs in the bathroom that i had to clean up -Bathroom fan light was always on -Smoke detector flashed directly into my face while trying to sleep - You can hear everything from the above and neighbor room.....everything

You cannot get better views inside of the park than the Lake Hotel. I would also venture to say that the dining option on-premises is superior to many of the other options in the park (though pricey). It has a really cool history that makes it a fun stay during your visit to Yellowstone. The staff was great. Consider starting your trip with a boat ride at the lake to get the full history to set the tone!

The hotel is beautiful and the staff is very welcoming. The only thing that was disappointing was that the dining room was closed for breakfast & we were given 4 options served in a box.
