Yellowstone is such a large park you need to stay inside if you can. Canyon Lodge is centrally located and it a great place to stay. The employees and management do their very best to make sure that you are a “happy camper.” The lodge has all the comforts of a modern hotel (no TV, of course!, and spotty WiFi) without having to rough it in order to get up close to nature and wildlife. Yes, the bison can appear right outside your back porch! On the front desk, Geoff, was a huge help getting us settled in, plugging in for WiFi, getting the room the way we wanted, and many other helpful hints. All this while being extremely busy at the desk. GM, Sam, was also helpful with a minor issue regarding our stay. The rooms are not real large, but the space is manageable for 2 people. It was comfortable and quiet.

The upside is that this lodge is in a great location with views and wow factor drives to/from the property. The downside is that some access roads are challenging - especially at night! We arrived towards the end of the season and the staff seemed to already have one foot out of the door. The reception was not friendly or welcoming. We discovered that we are not keen on seeing so many animals hung on the walls. The room was as expected for this type of lodge with a small bathroom with nowhere to put anything. The food in the restaurant was good in the evening, we did not have breakfast. On check out I paid $25 cash for the Park Pass but a $25 hold on funds only dropped off after a month. I wrote an email to ask about this but didn't receive a reply.

This is a lovely lodge and you pay a lot more than at a motel outside the park, but that's the point - you are IN the park! It takes a lot of time and gas to travel back and forth to West Yellowstone or Jackson or other towns. We opted to spend more and stay in the park so we had more time to explore in the park. The rooms were very nice and the clerks were pleasant and helpful. They told us what food was available because there are very few choices in the park. There's a small cafe in the Washburn Lodge that has packaged food the workers will heat up - breakfast sandwiches, pizza, burgers, etc. We had the breakfast sandwiches in the morning and they were quite good. I do wish breakfast had been included but it's understandable because of the effort a hotel in the park would have to make to have enough food on hand for guests. Meal vouchers for the local dining hall would have been nice but that's not a thing. We stayed in the Washburn Lodge and there are several others. The parking lot goes on FOREVER! If you're into collecting names of states on license plates, just walk through the parking lot at night! Don't miss the cute soap shaped like bears!

You truly cant beat the location. This lodge is centrally located to many of the highlights in the park, and if you want to be out bright and early to see the wildlife, this is the place to stay. The drawbacks are the room smelled like mold and there was definitely mold growing on the bathroom tiles. The room was not very clean and definitely needed a deep cleaning and dusting. Since I suffer from allergies, I did some dusting and cleaning myself. In addition, the room had a sound coming from the walls that sounded like a gigantic coffee percolator. a sound that never stopped. We tried our best to ignore it and pretend it was white noise. For dinner, we ordered a pizza and sat by the fire in the main lodge. The two people who ran the grab and go counter were very friendly and it was a great way to meet fellow travelers. This place could use a deep cleaning, but it was worth the inconvenience for the ideal location.

Very nice. Clean A great place to stay as it is centrally located in Yellowstone. Pretty expensive but you pay for the location. Not a first class hotel very basic but ok.

Nice property, rooms were nice, expensive I think, and very dark.I could not read any paper work without my phone light. Lights in the hallway reminded me of "The Shinning" Next trip I will bring a rechargeable battery lantern. And carry a flashlight.

Poor WiFi. Thin blankets, we were freezing at night. No cupboards or closets for storage. Rooms are small. Only one night table for four beds. Breakfast, lunch and dinner options in Canyon Village were of extremely low quality, my kids were starving and partially disgusted. The location proved to be disadvantageous due to various road closures that necessitated long detours when going to Lamar Valley and when exiting the Park to the East. You get low value for high prices.

WIFI was awful, dirty room, no closet or dresser for clothes. very small room for $299 a night. Tiny shower.

We went in late October after visiting this area in the summer previously. We were so disappointed to discover that nearly everything was closed for the season (restaurants, shopping). This meant that food choices were very limited. We also didn't have WiFi the entire time we were there (two days) and while we didn't go to the park to surf the net, it would have been nice to check on our kids at home, let our family know we'd arrived, and check on the status of our flight. At almost $300 a night, we felt the rooms were way overpriced for the season.

This hotel was all about the location. We booked here for two nights. Rooms were nothing special. I find the rooms to be a bit dark as the lighting fixtures give you old time feel of maybe candlelight. There was no light by the bed side table. Instead one on the little table that is provided in the room. Bathroom needed to have some grout cleaning as mold was starting to be present. We were in one of the newer buildings. Parking can be a challenge if getting back after 8/9 pm.
