Yeah jackson hole and Grand Teton National Park is somewhat under sold when it comes to Yellowstone trips.
jackson (the town) is an overpriced gatlinburg.
GTNP is flat-out awesome and should not be missed...however you cant "do" yellowstone from there efficiently. what we did is stay in YS, we went hard and saw everything we could in 4 days there, then went to GTNP for two nights to relax and decompress

I came here to post a similar question.
My brother and I are looking to take my 65 year old father this year, maybe in the April time frame, sounds like crowds shouldn't be bad at that point?
My dad is a big fisherman, so the purpose of the trip is fly fishing, but we really only plan to do that one day. Any recommendations on where to stay where we can get some cool scenery in but be close enough to catch a few trout?

Lol. First off I said Jackson Hole not Jackson. Its expensive absolutely, its a billionaire playground. Pretty much any hotel within 50 miles of Yellowstone is going to be $200/ night and most are $250. So nothing is cheap out there. Gatlinburg is a tourist trap. Jackson is busy due to legit travelers, I'm not sure you can really compare them like that.
Furthermore, there's a ton to do in the Jackson Hole area outside of the town of Jackson and outside of GTNP. White water rafting, rafting, fishing, horse back riding, dude ranches, etc. Most of which are neither in town or in the park.
I agree though, its a great place to spend 7-10 days between the two places but you can't do them from the same spot easily. Its about 1.5 hours from the Visitors center of GTNP and the south entrance of Yellowstone.
Given that, I'd highly recommend someone not stay in the same hotel their entire Yellowstone trip anyway. Its like a 2 hour drive from Mammouth to Ole Faithful. Its best to stay in 2 or even 3 different places or more to cut down your driving.
