Even the closest main attractions to the west gate, like Old Faithful, are going to take well over an hour to get to, and places farther away like Mammoth, Canyon, Yellowstone lake will be a couple of hours drive away.

Not to mention, where did you get the "40 minutes" from? I looks like it is closer to an hour away from the West Gate. Google maps shows it being 45 minutes just to the town of West Yellowstone.
Thats a very good point. Thats over 3-4 hours of travelling from park to accommodation each day. I checked all these new suggestions unfortunately nobody has availability.

I did find here:
