The room was clean and comfortable but dated. Furniture inside and on the patio needs an update and upgrade. The location to the park could not be better!

The Lodge is conveniently located near Yosemite NP. The room was comfortable and large. The dining options were just okay as was the food. Some of the staff wasn’t very friendly. But overall it was a good experience.

Great location, but for the price the room could have been a lot better, wouldn't dare to step on the carpet bare foot, the carpet was just gross. The water pressure in the shower/ taps in the bathroom is just awful.

Being the only game in town, the food options were very limited, over-priced and average at best. A $32 New York Steak was the same steak as the $25 Pepper and Bleu Ranch Steak and was only 1/4 thick. If you sat in the back room of the restaurant and were unfortunate to get one of the tables sitting over the floor vents you froze.

We had a room next to the river and it was quite epic watching and listening to the water. I had a family member who on the other hand did not have a great experience due to the river because it was so loud that she couldn't sleep. I went to the convenient store in the property and they didn't sell ear plugs, which was quite surprising and would have been nice. Other than that, love the fact this place has a little kitchen with a mini refrigerator. Whenever we needed service, they were right on it. The staff are great.

The only good thing about this hotel was the location. All of the restaurants close at 8:30. None of the gas stations or stores open until 7am. There was a hair on our bed and our room didn’t come with towels. Wi-Fi is extra and the shower was awful, so outdated and gross looking.
