10/10 Exceptional

This place was a great place me and my woman loved it.
Daniel J, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quaint spot outside of Yosemite

Great spot. Big room with mini fridge and freezer. Restaurant next door was very vegetarian friendly and yummy, but I think the lodge wifi clashed with restaurant because I couldn't really use it. I would also recommend they tailor their curtains because the AC mostly cooled down their curtain and not the room lol.
Kacey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Good place and food.
SEIJIRO, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

There was suddenly no water in the middle of a shower. Pool is located at the hotel next door and in the middle of a parking lot. Lucky Buck Cafe served homemade food in rich portions and are highly recommended for either breakfast or dinner.

Super clean and you have a restaurant right next to the hotel and the Park entrance is really near. Overall this property is great.

8/10 Very good

Moderately satisfied

The room was clean and pleasant. The only thing I didn't like was the front desk staff. Both the check-in and check-out staff weren't friendly or approachable.

Gabriel, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

2/10 Poor

Over priced for what you get stayed in motel six night before for 1/3 of price. Larger rooms. Would not recommend staying ats hotel or using hotel.com. Room phone had no dial tone. Air conditioner not working. GFI was tripped. Good thing I knew what to look for. Very hot in room

Staff was great. The room was lovely and super clean.
Sarah, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
Barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was very clean and comfortable. Perfect stop before or after visiting Yosemite. It was also nice having a restaurant on site, with very good food and service. Would definitely stay again.
Stella, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great little lodge just outside of Yosemite. I stayed here for a night after a 4 day backpacking trip and it was the perfect spot to rest and recover. The onsite laundry facility and restaurant make it a great home base for exploring the park.
Nick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

This is our favorite spot to stay outside of Yosemite Park. We stay in one of the 2 cabins. Seasonally the restaurant attached to the hotel has good food and friendly service. There are chargers for ev cars on the property provided by Electrify America.
