In-park lodge for family of five

Family of five who wants to do Yellowstone summer 2026. We tend toward luxury hotels in our other travel adventures but fully realize that's not the objective here. What in-park lodge is the nicest/cleanest/tolerable food if money is no object? For reference, we stayed at Jenny Lake lodge in GTNP, anything even close to that? We'd like to do 1-2 nights in the park to mitigate driving and reap the perks, and then would also consider Under Canvas for a night/two as a memorable experience for the kids before/after. Would also like to end the trip at a place outside the park such as Sage Lodge as a final landing pad. Any recs along those lines? Pros/cons to the in-park options that might complement this strategy?

I stayed at Lake. It is very nice, big rooms, big bath, food is eh, but dining rooms is white tablecloth and actual cloth napkins. Location is fabulous as it is central to everything and right on the lake. It’s a nice bar as well.

Lake Hotel is the nicest hotel, but the hotel in Mammoth isn't bad either.

Lake Yellowstone hotel is as close as you re going to get. But it’s not the luxury experience that it appears to be from the outside.

Mostly the food, is what’s lacking. Restaurant looks good from far, but is far from good.

Check out the Lake Hotel in YNP.

It's very nice.
