Staff are great, but beware there are limited amenities - no AC, no internet, no TV, limited cell reception, food options limited and average to poor quality for the price. Made it difficult to plan anything while there. We felt cutoff from the world so make sure your plans are solid before arriving. Very cool location though, right on the lake and surrounded by woods, elk, and bison!

We were so excited to stay inside Yellowstone park but the accommodations at this hotel were deplorable. I paid $450 for one night as this was a treat for my family. The building was a dorm building. No AC, no tv, no internet. The windows had stops on them so you couldn't open them more than a few inches. It was an extremely hot muggy day. Warm drinks out of vending machines. Had to make a reservation for dinner but there was no space available so they sent us to another building which served a cafeteria style meal.I had to order at the counter then wait 30 minutes for 1 hotdog and 1 fry. Absolutely the worst night of our 10 day vacation.

No Television or air conditioning . Slept with the windows open but could hear people talking outside. Had to pay for a cup of coffee after spending that amount for a room with no amenities . Bar closes too early. Sorry, but not worth it.

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!

This location was great!! We saw so many animals and the front desk staff had a lot of knowledge for where we could see more! There was a bison right outside of our hotel when we walked in. The view of the lake is beautiful. I recommend the burger restaurant for dinner and breakfast! Then the deli inside the main hotel for really good coffee! Like the other hotels in Yellowstone expect little to no service with terrible WiFi.

Beautiful location, stunning lake views. Fantastic location. However, for the price point, the property is below average. It is in desperate need of an upgrade. The rooms were tiny, had no AC and the walls were paper thin. Furthermore, the actual physical property could REALLY use some simple landscaping, which would go a long way. The area out front the Sandpiper Lodge was literally just dirt, weeds and long grass and all the walkways are ancient. For this price point, don't get your expectations too high sadly. Super friendly staff and no complaints there at all. A beautiful (and convenient) location right inside the park, so you're really paying for the location.

For the price it is not worth it. Save money and stay out of the park. There is no WiFi, cell service sucks, no tv in room, no a/c, breakfast was $25 for a buffet. Will never stay in the park again

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!

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.
