Cozy Geyser Views

Our family group of 11 stayed in the East wing for 3 nights. We loved our two 2-queen rooms that offered a amazing view of Old Faithful from our suite and bedroom windows. The rooms were clean and equipped with mini-fridges and en-suite bathrooms. This was a great way to enjoy the natural beauty right from our lodgings.

Evening Serenity

Despite the crowds around, I appreciated the peace in the evenings. I would relax in the rocking chairs by the fire while enjoying a book. The atmosphere was perfect, and I loved watching the families gather together. It underscored the natural beauty of the surroundings and created a nice experience each night.

Unique Dining Experience

We dined at the buffet and found it included a wonderful array of hearty meals such as wild game chili and delicious bison brat. The dining room featured a beautiful ambiance with high ceilings and wooden decor that made every meal feel special. The huckleberry lemonade was a standout drink that I couldn't get enough of!

Functional Shower Amenities

Our room had an en-suite bathroom that, although small, was functional and met our basic needs. I appreciated the cleanliness and the touch of having bear-shaped hand soap, which was a fun detail that added to our experience. It was a cozy little corner post a day of exploring!

The hotel offers a unique experience with stunning views of nature and Old Faithful right outside your window. While the rustic charm adds to the experience, it lacks some modern conveniences, making it less suitable for those who prioritize comfort. The dining options could also use improvement, but the surrounding trails and geysers more than make up for it.

Staying at the lodge was quite an experience, given its stunning location near Old Faithful and its unique log cabin architecture. However, the astronomical price didn't match the standard of the rooms or the service we received. While dining options were good in variety, the wait times and atmosphere left something to be desired. Overall, the lodge has the potential to be amazing, but certain aspects need significant improvement for the price paid.

I had a mixed experience at the Old Faithful Inn. The location is unbeatable, right next to the iconic geyser, and the lobby design adds a rustic charm. However, the crowding was overwhelming, and the food left much to be desired, especially given the high prices. Despite these shortcomings, staying inside the park saves you from long drives each day.

Staying at Old Faithful Inn was a unique experience thanks to its iconic location by the geysers. While the rooms were quite basic and lacked some modern comforts, the stunning views and accessibility to Old Faithful made it worth it. I encountered some unfriendly service, and the dining options were surprisingly underwhelming. However, being able to watch the geysers erupt right from the hotel was an unforgettable perk.

Our stay at Old Faithful Inn was truly memorable, with stunning views of the geyser right from our room and a rustic charm that made our experience special. The room was comfortable, although I wished for a king-sized bed, and the dining options were fantastic but could be more diverse. Exploring the park was mesmerizing, and we appreciated the historical architecture of the inn. However, it's important to note that the Wi-Fi was less reliable, and we encountered some issues in our room that were addressed, but took time to resolve.
