Ridgeline Hotel at Yellowstone, an Ascend Collection Hotel
4/10 Poor
"Did not enjoy stay as it was noisy from people parking right outside your room. we had a group leave 4 o’clock in the morning making all kinds of noise. Another negative was that the air conditioner was 1 foot from the bed. You could not sleep well because it would either be ice cold air conditioning blowing on you or no air conditioning at all. Finally when others in the upstairs rooms would shower the nose resembled sleeping next to a furnace as it was very loud. Told the he front desk and they said sorry."
"Our deluxe room very nice. Large room and bathroom with everything we needed. As advertised there is no TV, cell service or A/C. Stayed 3 days in May that were cool during nights so just opened windows. Hotel itself, despite the age was very nice. Loved the historical aspect to it and the views on the lake were wonderful. When we were there in May, the small coffee shop was open as well as the restaurant in the evening. At this point, the hotel was open for two weeks, but we noticed during our stay they were routinely out of different types of bakery juice, etc. Restaurant food was not cheap. We had two dinners in the restaurant both averaged $140 for two of us. The food was good, but not great.Yes, that included a bottle of wine. Breakfast was a buffet adults were $23 a person. That seems to be standard in all hotels in Yellowstone Park. It was easy enough for us to opt out of breakfast grab coffee and eat protein bars and fruit that we had purchased instead of spending money every morning for breakfast. Would we stay there again? Yes! For us, it was our base camp for visiting the park and driving out to Cody without having to move twice which I see suggested on some websites. No matter how you stay in the park or out of the park, you will have to backtrack over some of the grand loop at some point. Yellowstone hotels and lodges open May through mid June. Just be aware that if you stay at the YS lake hotel your dining options are limited until mid June."
"The location is great, breakfast was very nice, staff was kind, and the feel is nostalgic. However, the bed was very, very small for claiming to be a queen, the lights near the bed are so high on the wall you have to get out of bed and stand up to turn them off, the mini fridge had no freezer compartment, there was no microwave, and the TV was so low that you couldn't lay down and see it. Hotels.com said there was a hot tub - there was not. The parking is very crowded. It is clearly older and it shows, but it is within walking distance of everything in town and the shops and food in West Yellowstone are wonderful. It brought back memories of traveling with my parents in the 70"s."
"The location right next to the geysers is the only reason to stay there. Stay at another hotel and just take a walk through the lobby. We booked a double room and was given a single. The manager told us that since we booked through Expedia there was nothing he could do to help, and he didn't seem to care that we were stuck. I had to pay for a second room. The actual rooms are small and run down. Threadbare and stained carpets. We had a view of the construction for what looks like a new hotel."
