Top Rainbow Lake Hotel Reviews

The Roosevelt Hotel - Yellowstone

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great choice! My other arrangements had been deleted and so we ended up here and it was totally for the better! The facility is beautiful the staff are warm and wonderful- the breakfast and coffee were perfect for a morning of Yellowstone Adventuring!"

Yellowstone Gateway Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was our fave hotel out of the 6 different ones we stayed at during our road trip to Yellowstone. It was spacious, clean, and the check in process was simple. Loved the BBQ grill outside. Sad that I didn’t see a playground, even tho the pics showed one. But the entire home more than made up for it. I don’t even know what to call it. It’s like its own individual tiny home. It’s not even like a hotel. It was our fave stay."

Ridgeline Hotel at Yellowstone, an Ascend Collection Hotel

6/10 Okay

"I did like the location, I liked the idea of the individual cabins, the rooftop seating was cool, the staff was friendly. I believe our cabin could use a deep clean, there was accumulation of dirt in the corners in the bathroom, the carpet in the living room was dirty and stained, we had staff come back and clean the shower stall during our visit. The tv in the living room never worked after several attempts by maintenance. Most in this area are seasonal workers on staff. I felt we paid a little too much for what we got, (+$500 per night). Gardnier is a great place to stay to visit Yellowstone everyday. Close and easy in out. They do have suite rooms which may looked good when we peeked in."

Mammoth Hot Springs & Cabins - Inside the Park

10/10 Excellent

"I was nervous about staying in a "cabin" within the park but the room was lovely, well attained, and comfortable. We had a nice sleep in a peaceful space. The only downside is the bathrooms/showers were a few steps outside of our cabin but they were easy to access and they were clean."
