Fodor's Expert Review Old Faithful Inn
3200 Old Faithful Inn Rd., Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, 82190, USA Fodor's Choice
Easily earning its National Historic Landmark status, this jewel of the national park system has been a favorite since the original Old House section opened in 1904—it's worth a visit whether or not you stay here. The lobby has a 76-foot-high, eight-sided fireplace, as well as bright red iron-clad doors, two balconies, and a fantastical "tree house" of platforms, ladders, and dormer windows. You can stay in century-old rooms with thick wood timber walls and ceilings for as little as $135 if you're willing to do without a private bathroom (and the communal bathrooms are surprisingly elegant). Rooms with bathrooms are in the Old House or the "modern" wings built in 1913 and 1927.
PROS
- a one-of-a-kind property
- rooms at a range of price points
- incredible location near geyser
CONS
- thin walls
- waves of tourists in the lobby
