Bait and switch

I couldn't check my reservation because there was no Internet service worth anything (note to self: carry offline reservation info for offline hotels...) but I checked later and the room we booked was "basic room" with "two queen beds." This clearly implies an in-hotel room, asking with a picture of a room. Instead, we were given a cabin. A cabin would be advertised as a cabin. I know, I've reserved and stayed in cabins through Hotels.com before. Since I didn't have my reservation and we made it 7 months ago, so the details were fuzzy, we just went with it. There was no air conditioning, just heat (but thankfully cool at night in May, so open windows helped), no phone to call in that there was no shampoo or body wash in the dispenser (but there was conditioner!) and the floors were filthy. We used the included broom and used shower towels to hello keep things clean and out of the _full size_ beds. It didn't matter anyway, because it turns out Xanterra doesn't open the hotel portion until late June, so it turns out they're falsely advertising rooms when they're not offering them. The staff seemed to brush my wife off when she complained. A neighboring unit's occupants were clearly also frustrated with the bait and switch and sped off to complain. Honestly I can't say I'm surprised given my other experiences with Xanterra, but it is HIGHLY disappointing.

No WiFi anywhere on property- not even at the lobby or common areas. No on site restaurant or, bar, or store. Had to drive to neighboring hotel to eat, have drinks, or have limited WiFi service. Room in cottage was decent inside but no refrigerator and our floor had small stones around. Outside was basic. Mammoth springs lodge was nicer and had more amenities for snacks, food, stores, etc. If staying again, I would do Mammoth Springs lodge again; not Lake Yellowstone.

The hotel restaurant was closed. Although the Lake Lodge restaurant is nearby, the menu selection is quite limited. Since there isn’t really any other place to go nearby, this was a bit frustrating.

This hotel is a disaster. Expedia should not be promoting this. Structure is poor, we could hear people walking above us all night long. We couldn’t sleep, ended up leaving at 4:00 in the morning.

Not Worth It – Room Too Small and Poor Amenities The room was much smaller than those in similar hotels and the price was double. The sink was oddly placed in the middle of the room instead of in the bathroom, which was inconvenient. The main restaurant was closed, and the main building was under maintenance—none of which was disclosed during the reservation process. Internet access was only available in the Lake Lodge, and the connection quality was very poor.
