Never been to Yellowstone National Park and want to spend 3~4 days there this summer. Any recommendations on where to stay in term of hotel, motel or lodge?

Lodging inside the park is thru here http://www.travelyellowstone.com/. I just booked 7 nights. > Never been to Yellowstone National Park and want to spend 3~4 days there > this summer. Any recommendations on where to stay in term of hotel, motel > or lodge? > Thanks Read up on things over at the "Total Yellowstone" page: http://www.yellowstone-natl-park.com/ The chat area is a wealth of info from a lot of people that know Yellowstone better than they know their own back yard! Also, don't rely solely on the web site for lodging reservations, particularly now that you are getting pretty late in the planning. Call the Xanterra, the people that run the lodges and hotels in the park. They sometimes have rooms for phone reservations even when the web site says none are available. Stay in the park if you can at all do so. It's a long drive from most places outside the park, and traffic can get pretty heavy. I'd hate to see you miss part of the park due to getting stuck in a bison-jam for a couple hours! > Lodging inside the park is thru here http://www.travelyellowstone.com/. > I just booked 7 nights.

Any recommendations on where to stay in term of hotel, motel > or lodge? I would recommend to pick more than one lodge. Yellowstone is huge and I wouldn't underestimate driving distances. Last year I visited Yellowstone for the first time (total of 5 nights). If you've 4 nights my advice would be: 1 night in Gardiner (ouside the northwest entrance of the park, good location for the Mammoth Springs area). In Gardiner the Super8 was quite good. 2 nights at the Canyon Village (central area of the park, this is a good location to visit the Grand Canyon of the Yellowsone, Tower-Roosevelt, Lamar valley and also Lake Yellowstone). I didn't like the cabins but the location is great. 1 Night at the Old Faithful Lodge (this is an excellent location for the southeastern part of the park, where all the main geysers and basins are).
