Nice and comfortable rooms, charming downtown
Nice clean comfortable room. Very spacious bathroom. Although the weather wasn't right for it, they also have a nice looking pool and playground. The restaurant next door for dinner and breakfast was also very delicious.

This small hotel was such a nice surprise on our way from San Francisco to Yosemite! The rooms had been completely upgraded and they have thought of everything… phone and watch charger options by the bed, multiple off-floor places for suitcases, pump products in the shower and even for lotion, clean floor instead of marginal carpets. Cute surroundings with outside sitting options. Last stop before you pay the high prices in the Park! Excellent value too.

We loved the proximity to the west gate of Yosemite. Even though a hotel is close to a gate, it’s still a long drive into the valley. That’s for any hotel around Yosemite though. We loved our stay at the lodge and was able to take hot showers, relax in the hot tub, and get a good nights sleep after our extremely long days of hiking. We would venture over to the lucky buck cafe and get breakfast before heading to the park and would grab dinner after the park. Stay here, you’ll be glad you did.

The room was old and apparently with no fundamental maintenance, chair is worn out and the door latch is broken.......room hygiene is also a concern, air conditioner is loud and crazy. The room is not small but can't never be described 'very spacious', I was cheated by this untruthful commercial saying. Very disappointed though staff is good.

It’s a nice room with very friendly staff. The bathtub could use a little update and deeper clean as a piece was missing and it was pretty dirty where that piece should have been. The restaurant next door was good and it was quiet when the window was shut and couldn’t hear road noise.
