Good place to stay if going to Yosemite.

It was clean, staff was friendly and very comfortable. Has a nice porch to sit on, activities if you wish to use and a restaurant. Some of the food is good and some not so good, but overall a nice place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay. It was incredibly convenient, the food was great(we ate several meals there), and the service was excellent!! The room was good, but simple. On the down side, the shower pressure could have been better and the dumpster was outside our door, so the garbage truck was, too, a few times-and loud. They do not provide daily maid services and we almost ran out of toilet paper one day, but overall, it was all good and affordable. A general store would have been so helpful for odds and ends! Overall, we really enjoyed it and would return in a heartbeat!!

Disappointed Despite the Friendly Staff We booked this property based on its four-star rating and were initially hopeful. Check-in was smooth, and the front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the stay took a turn once we got to our room (602), which is right next to the Lucky Buck Café. The walls were paper thin, and all day and night we heard constant squeaking from the room doors and heavy foot traffic. Daytime naps were impossible, and the banging from café cleanup lasted until after 11 p.m. The room itself was clean, but the bed was incredibly uncomfortable—lumpy with completely worn-out pillows. My fiancée and I both woke up with sore backs and necks. It was the worst mattress I’ve ever slept on. The lodge is conveniently located about 20 minutes from Yosemite, which is a plus. However, the noise issues, poor sleep quality, and terrible Wi-Fi (which made even trying to find another hotel impossible) ruined our experience. We travel often and rarely write negative reviews, but this one left us frustrated, angry, and disappointed. I would not stay here again. If you’re visiting the area, I recommend looking into Rush Creek, Evergreen Lodge, or Blackberry Inn instead

Nice throwback type drive up motel. Clean, plenty of towels, and had the basics like a LaQuinta or Fairfield Estates. (Except no breakfast provided. )But...just a short walk to the restaurant. After being in Yosemite, it was nice to have this lodging about an hour out from the Park.

We were unfortunately in the smaller, 1-story building, and did not enjoy our stay. The doors are thin and have a large gap at the bottom, so you can hear every conversation, door slam, etc. happening outside, which left me trying to fall asleep for an hour and a half. The rooms feel like old motel rooms that were refreshed to look modern, but there’s a dinginess around the edges. I can’t imagine anyone ever choosing to stay here as a destination unto itself - it survives because of its proximity to Yosemite.

Good for visiting Yosemite.

I picked this hotel as it was close to a Yosemite NP entry gate. I was advised that check-in was strictly 4:30pm and not a minute earlier. Feeling tired after a long drive and with no options of things to do at the property at 3pm we had no option but to drive more!! I know time is required for room changeover but would be nice to see some accommodation of weary travellers! Apart from that we had a good stay. We had a room near the cafe and it was quite spacious and well appointed. As it faced the road we were a little bothered by the external lighting coming in through our window. We had an early dinner in the cafe which had good food options and staff were very good. All good and a good location for visiting Yosemite.
