Here are your lodging choices.
Colter Village-tent cabins and regular cabins
Jackson Lake Lodge
Jenny Lake Lodge-super expensive and upscale(for a NP)
Signal Mnt.
Flagg Ranch

You can drive Chief Joseph iv Beartooth is closed.
If your going to drive Beartooth, why not fly into Billings?

You really can't have enough time in Yellowstone, IMOP.
I think one night in Jackson and one night in the Tetons would be enough.

Getting to Canyon Lodge in Late May might be a really really long way around to get to it. I just want to make sure that you know that roads are probably more likely to be closed than open. I would seriously doubt that Beartooth would be open, and I would expect some of the Yellowstone major roads to still be closed too.

If the Beartooth Hwy is closed, you can get in the park through Gardiner. You'd drive from Bzn to Livingston and then north to Gardiner. It's a pretty drive.

The other alternative is to drive from Bozeman to West Yellowstone. It's also a pretty drive. Both the West Yellowstone and Gardiner (N. Entrance) are closer to Bozeman than the Beartooth Hwy.

If the bear tooth is closed then drive to Livinston and head south through Paridise Valley. There is a great resort/restaurant/hot springs call Chico Hot Springs. It would be very easy to fly into Bozeman, drive to chico and stay for the night then head into the park. OR from Bozeman you can drive south through the Galletin Canyon (near big sky) and head toward West Yellowstone where you will enter the park. It is then a short distance to Canyon. Sixes as to time.

All of the roads in the park will be open but it is cool at night and you will see melting snow on the side of the continental divide passes. Lot and Lots of baby animals that time of year.

If you want more of a town and want to shop then I would stay in Jackson Hole and not at Teton Village. Jackson has many many hotel of all levels of comfort and cost.

You will have great access to GTNP from Jackson Hole and there is good white water rafting, dining and shopping.

Canyon is wonderful! I'd stay there for sure (only it might still be closed.)
Don't miss the 7-Mile Hole killer hike
Expect many roads to be closed.
Watch out for bears. Yellowstone bears are used to people and will not run away.
Don't be one of those "Yellowstone drivers". (You'll see what I mean.)
