Not Worth It

Published Date: Sep, 11, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 2 The actual Lodge, restaurants and the views are very nice. However, I was in one of the "cottages" which is really a long, connected concrete block old timey motel. The room was musty, the chairs were old and they stained my pants so I couldn't sit on them. There were no chairs outside my room either! There is no air conditioning or TV so when you have nothing upon which to sit, in or out, makes for a LONG night. The staff was unconcerned and unresponsive. I'd never stay here again.

Pricey for dated room and STELLAR view; excellent float raft trip down the Snake River

Published Date: Sep, 10, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 4 We had a Mountain View Cottage room, which is basically a hotel room on the second floor of a 2-story building with 8-10 rooms. Size was great, view straight on to the Grand Tetons was spectacular. Balcony with 2 adirondak chairs just fine. Furnishings dated but clean. Small fridge and bar sink, coffee maker and enough coffee for two days (no dishes/silver). Bath size ok, but enough storage next to it. Plenty of room for bags and stuff from a long road trip. Super expensive in early September but glad we stayed there. Also, we did their float raft trip and that was exceptional. Steve was our guide and you absolutely could not ask for anyone better - he knows all the stories, how to handle changes in the river and a good eagle spotter; he even recites Western songs and poetry. That raft trip was the highlight of our Grand Teton trip. Skip the dining at the Lodge, go to Jenny Lake.

Great for a national park lodge

Published Date: Sep, 9, 2024 Travel Date: Aug, 1, 2024 Rating: 4 I stayed one night as part of a bike tour group. I was in one of the little cabins furnished in what I would call modern rustic. No air conditioning, which was fine for me. This facility was very busy. We had dinner reservations, which I would recommend. Many of the people working there, including the servers, are young people from elsewhere (noted on their badges). Our servers did not seem particularly experienced, although the food was fine. Meals took a very long time. The view of the Tetons from the main building is gorgeous, especially early and late in the day. I recommend taking the short hike to lunch top hill for more beautiful scenery.

We could hear people in the adjacent room in the day and evening but it was very quiet at night. Nights were cool when we stayed so lack of AC was not a problem. There was an overhead fan and a tower fan, and we used both. There was a Keurig in the room as well as glasses and ceramic mugs. Bring a sleep mask-there were very bright lights on the electronic equipment that could not be turned off. Short walk from our room to the main lodge. Ate at the bar and got takeout from the grill. Food was ok but not great and vegetarian options were limited. Nice to be able to park right in front of our room. Lodge was a good location for accessing various hikes and scenic overlooks in the park.
No air conditioning or proper ventilation

Published Date: Sep, 7, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 1 There is no air conditioning. It is quite expensive to stay here and it is 80 degrees in our hotel room. There is one window that opens (behind a curtain) for ventilation. The room comes with a standing fan so obviously the hotel is aware of this problem. We booked three nights here and tried to cancel the last night because it’s just unbearable and the hotel will not let us cancel and only offered an extra fan. So we are paying top dollar to sweat in our room. We propped up the ironing board against the curtain to increase the ventilation. Since we have to keep the window open, we have to also put up with loud neighbors partying on their deck, can’t blame them since it’s probably 80 in their room as well but it is disturbing us quite a bit. My husband tried to reason with the hotel to cancel our last night so we could get some comfort (it is our wedding anniversary) but they held to their 7 day cancellation policy. Great location but the room is also outdated. September 2024
