  • Within easy walking distance of multiple named geysers and boardwalks in the Upper Geyser Basin.
  • Parking is available on site in the main lot near the lobby, but spaces may be limited during peak times.

  • Located at 250 S Canyon St, steps from the Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center and within roughly 0.7 km of the West Yellowstone Visitor Information Center.
  • About a 0.7 km / 0.4–0.7 mile drive to the West Entrance into Yellowstone (supplier lists Yellowstone Park West Entrance ~1.1 km from the hotel).
  • Convenient for town restaurants, shops, rental services, and the nearby small regional airport (WYS).

Choose Gray Wolf for easy access to West Yellowstone services and a short drive into the park.

Rooms: Old Faithful Inn vs Gray Wolf Inn & Suites

Old Faithful Inn – Rooms

Old Faithful Inn offers a wide range of historic rooms with intentionally limited in-room technology.

  • Room types include Basic Room, Shared Bathroom and multiple Deluxe and Standard hotel room categories across East and West wings.
  • Many rooms lack private in-room amenities common elsewhere (no TVs, radios, air conditioning, or internet in rooms).
  • Some Old House rooms have shared bathrooms; elevator access is available to most floors except the first floor of the West Wing.

Pick the Inn for historic character and location, not for modern in-room tech or private baths in every room.

Gray Wolf Inn & Suites – Rooms

Gray Wolf has standard midscale rooms and family suites with common conveniences.

  • Room list includes 'Deluxe Room, 2 Queen Beds', 'Deluxe room - 1 king with sleeper sofa', and several family suite options.
  • All rooms are air-conditioned and include refrigerators and microwaves; some room types are pet-friendly or accessible.
  • Front desk has limited staffed hours; check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is 11:00 AM per supplier listing.

Gray Wolf is the practical choice for families or visitors wanting in-room appliances and a variety of room layouts.

Dining & drinks: Old Faithful Inn vs Gray Wolf Inn & Suites

Old Faithful Inn – Dining & drinks

Old Faithful Inn provides multiple on-site dining options focused on full-service and quick-service needs for park visitors.

  • Old Faithful Inn Dining Room is a historic sit-down restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner (reservations required for dinner).
  • Bear Pit Lounge is an on-site bar serving cocktails and light appetizers; Bear Paw Deli offers sandwiches and snacks.
  • Advance dinner reservations for inn guests can be made up to 60 days before arrival.

Old Faithful is best if you want in-park dining options with historic atmosphere and scheduled meal services.

Gray Wolf Inn & Suites – Dining & drinks

Gray Wolf provides standard hotel food & beverage offerings; detailed on-site restaurant names and hours are not published in the supplier listing.

  • Supplier listing highlights in-room coffee/tea conveniences and common-area vending but does not publish full dining venue details.
  • Guests should expect town dining options within walking distance in West Yellowstone.
  • Ask the hotel directly for current on-site dining availability and hours, as front desk hours are limited.

If daily, varied on-site dining is important, confirm Gray Wolf's current offerings with the property or plan to use nearby town restaurants.

Pools & signature amenity: Old Faithful Inn vs Gray Wolf Inn & Suites

Old Faithful Inn – Pools & signature amenity

Old Faithful Inn does not offer a pool, hot tub, or beach area; the nearby geothermal features are the primary attractions.

  • No indoor or outdoor pool and no hot tub or spa on site.
  • Outdoor activities and park trails serve as the main recreational facilities.
  • Guests use the Inn as a base for geyser viewing, hikes, and other park-led activities.

Old Faithful is focused on geothermal access rather than on-site water or spa facilities.

Gray Wolf Inn & Suites – Pools & signature amenity

Gray Wolf includes an indoor pool and a hot tub for guest use, a common draw for travelers wanting to unwind after park activities.

  • Property features one indoor pool and one hot tub according to the supplier listing.
  • Pool amenities include pool sun loungers and pool hoist accessibility on site.
  • Hotel offers ski storage and nearby winter activities, useful in colder months.

Gray Wolf is a better pick if an indoor pool or hot tub is important to your stay.

Wellness & nightlife: Old Faithful Inn vs Gray Wolf Inn & Suites

Old Faithful Inn – Wellness & nightlife

Old Faithful Inn has limited on-site wellness and nightlife options beyond dining and the lobby fireplace.

  • No spa or fitness center; the property encourages outdoor activities like hiking and wildlife viewing.
  • Bear Pit Lounge and the Mezzanine Bar provide evening drink options within the Inn.
  • Nighttime programming usually centers on visitor education and guided park activities rather than a hotel nightlife scene.

Expect quiet evenings centered on the lodge bars and the park setting rather than a hotel spa or nightclub.

Gray Wolf Inn & Suites – Wellness & nightlife

Gray Wolf offers typical hotel leisure facilities but no published on-site full-service spa or nightlife venues in the supplier listing.

  • No fitness facility is listed; the hotel includes a fireplace in the lobby and vending for snacks/drinks.
  • Nearby West Yellowstone town has restaurants and bars within walking distance for evening options.
  • For wellness, the indoor pool and hot tub cover basic guest relaxation needs.

Gray Wolf covers basic leisure needs (pool, hot tub) and relies on town nightlife for more options.
