There are many great things about Jenny Lake Lodge and reasons to stay there. There are also a few things to note and expect if you plan to stay to make sure you understand what you are getting for your money.||The location is amazing, and its right in the middle of the park. So if you want to get an early start on hitting up some of the parks hiking trails or scenic spots, its very easy to get up early and do that. The cabins are clean and comfortable, and the property has a very quiet/peaceful setting. Staff are all very polite, and obviously trained in hospitality. ||One miss is the price, where I don't feel you get the value for what you are paying. The rate includes breakfast and dinner, bike use, and horseback riding. The dinners and breakfasts are good, but not memorable. The lodge also provides you with a bill (even though its included) so you can see how much to tip. So for two people are breakfast was $80 ($16+ tip) and dinner was almost $300 ($60+ tip) you have to decide if an average breakfast is worth the $16 and average dinner is worth $80. If I could do it again, I'd eat at the lodge once, and spend the money on some of the other restaurants in Jackson Hole to try something different. Also, interactions with staff felt like they were reading from a script...almost over-trained in hospitality.||If you are an early bird, and can get up and into the park before the traffic/lines, you may want to consider staying in Jackson Hole instead as you will avoid the lines into the park by getting up early, and then you are free to explore the restaurant scene in Jackson Hole without worrying about the 40 min drive there and then back again.
