Old Faithful Inn - Inside the Park

Despite it being cold outside, we couldn’t get airflow into the room to temper the baseboard heating that you can’t control. So we had a fan pointed at us just to get airflow - I imagine in the summer this is also very difficult. Good staff, many rooms have shared bathrooms so know what you are booking. National Park hotels are more for the historical charm and elements, not for updated modern amenities.

When checking in was not advised that there was bellmen to help with luggage, Had to ask that the room be cleaned. When cleaned they did not mop the bathroom floor or vacuumed.

Our room was spacious and overlooked the Old Faithful geyser -- a remarkable experience. Electrical outlets were somewhat limited & no USB ports. Check-in, check-out, and valet service were outstanding. But dining room food (buffet) was shockingly poor and very limited; staff was unable to keep trays full; preparations were lacking in any culinary finesse. One night we had to wait in the buffet line for nearly 15 minutes before we could even serve ourselves at the buffet table. Definitely NOT In keeping with the historic status of the Inn. A black mark on our experience in Yellowstone.

Great room overlooking Old Faithful geyser, good ambiance with history maintained, VERY expensive, not great food or options for eating and VERY expensive for what you got. Good trails/walkways, good service when needed, just a wonderful trip with good weather, got to see and do all we wanted and then some--a wonderful memory trip

I am reviewing this hotel as a provider of accommodation, not as an historic attraction. (As an historic site it is well worth visiting and doing the free tour).

The big downside of this hotel is that there are very few rooms with their own bathroom, so most people end up using a shared bathroom, which was OK but not ideal.

The rooms are small, which is fair enough because it is true to its origins.

The hotel restaurant does provide dinner but it is a buffet and there is no à la carte option. We ate at the restaurant at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge which had an excellent and reasonably priced à la carte menu.

The hotel was truly beautiful in the common areas, and had multiple viewpoints to see Old Faithful. The lack of air conditioning, TVs, and internet (which we did know going in to this) means there is truly nothing else to do when not watching Old Faithful.

The inn history and location are amazing. There is no air conditioning so they supply a very small fan and opening the window for air. The inn is so old you can hear everyone walking past in the hallway and above you. BRING EARPLUGS IF YOUR A LIGHT SLEEPER. 👍🏻

It’s very clear that this property is the only game in town and they act like it. The food is not good, our room was not ready to check in until after 7pm, and there were two pillows per bed, four tiny pillows total for four people. Asked for more pillows but no one came. The history is cool but I think going in summer and camping would offer a better experience.

Stay somewhere else if you can. Carpet so dirty I wore shoes. Furniture so rickety I could not sit on chair. Bare light bulbs in two fixtures. Room was tiny, uncomfortable, and not as shown. I get this is a unique site, but at other hotels with unique locations that charge a premium for the stay, you can expect a clean, comfortable room and at least a few amenities. This is a pure-money grab and it's clear they don't care about the customer at all.

The staff at the 2nd floor coffee shop was not nice, maybe it’s under staff so she looked unpappy

Pretty outdated, No wifi, and limited dining options. The coffee bar and adult beverage bar on the second floor is the best place to watch Old Faithful though. For a room, I would highly recommend staying at the Old Faithful Snow Lodge just across the parking lot instead. It is modern, has a nicer restaurant, and has internet too.

Incredible historic hotel. Room was adequate. Comfy bed, hot water in shower. Very clean. Buffet dinner in dining room overpriced for mediocre food. No WiFi available. Convenient location in the heart of Yellowstone, so worth a few minuses.

It’s an old building so I understand plumbing and rooms may be outdated but rooms mainly the flooring , pillows, linens and beds desperately need a revamp. We really didn’t sleep well the three nights we stayed however keep in mind location and staff were excellent. Few good food options was also a downside but the location and nightly concerts in lobby were enjoyable

Felt like I was in a hostel with shower and restrooms on next floor up.

Terrible! Staff was not welcoming! Elevator smelled bad! We had 2 rooms. One door jammed. TVs don’t work. Lights burnt out. ONLY ONE SET OF TOWELS. Phone didn’t work. HVAC moldy. NO toilet paper in one room. Breakfast was disgusting. Overheard a guest say they wouldn’t feed it to their dog.

Lovely attentive and plentiful staff. The pianist who also sang and played cello in the evening added a special charm to a magical and legendary stay.

We stayed at the Old Faithful Inn during July in the old house section and couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The bathrooms were not a big deal and our room was larger than I expected. It was so nice to be able to walk out the door and see Old Faithful and walk around the Upper Geyser Basin area as well as spend time in the Inn when it was less crowded. There are multiple restaurants in the building as well as two general stores close by and the restaurants at the other hotels. The visitor center is also next door. Yellowstone is a huge park that requires a lot of driving but staying in this area was very convenient. We loved our experience at this iconic hotel.

We were in the modern wing which was fine except...... there were no lights bright enough in the room! Bedside lights should be bright enough to read our books. They were cute, but completely impractical.

Everything was very nice!

The finding of used washcloths in our shower upon check in and slimy shower floor set a really poor beginning to our stay.
