Best location! It was near and easy going around Yosemite park from this hotel. Right outside our room was the river and it was the best sight specially in the morning. Love the big bath tub with jets! Just needs more cleaning coz i noticed it has got molds already. There is absolutely no phone signal here and Wifi is not free so you have to purchase on check in. Funny tho coz once you are in Yosemite park, there is LTE signal. There is fridge, cooking utensils, electric stove, plates, cups, cleaning stuff, room was huge!! We got the 2 queen beds room type. The food in their restaurant is not so bad, the service could be better tho. Our food came super slow. There is plenty of parking space and its for free. I never get to try their pool and laundry facilities.

Bellissima la piscina con vista monti aperta fino a tardi, bella la cassetta mobile, spiaggia vicino ed anche veduta sulle stelle bellissima

The location is very good, only ten minutes' drive from the entrance, and the price is cheaper than another hotel further inside. The hotel has complete facilities, including a swimming pool and a massage pool

You need to check in further up the road at Cedar Lodge, but it is a small drive back and forth (this is also where the restaurant is located) The wifi was great, the room was clean and comfortable, and there was nothing like sitting on the porch, watching the sunset over the mountains. The breakfast buffet is all right, and the staff is very kind.

I have been to Yosemite many times, and this hotel is the most satisfying one. The hotel is very new and the sanitation is not bad. I moved in at the beginning of September, and the weather was just right. Because I was tired of living in the RV, I booked a tent house this time. There are fans, electric fireplaces, cooking utensils, refrigerators, etc., and there seems to be an electric blanket on the bed. In the evening, eat hot pot with a gas stove at the entrance of the tent. There is a pioneer market in the town less than ten minutes by car. 🚗 Transportation: 🧹Hygiene: 🍃Environment: 🔔Service:

I've been coming to Yosemite since I began camping with my parents in the 1960's. As I got older, it was always a dream of mine to stay in the park. I finally was able to fulfill my dream this month and stayed 3 nights at the lodge. I had always known that accommodations in the park were expensive so I had budgeted for that. Kind of like paying $20 for a beer at the ball game when you could have paid $5 at your favorite bar. Because of a flight delay, we did not arrive at the lodge until 9:30. Fortunately, we were assigned a room in the Alder building, which is right across from the front desk. Found a parking spot right in front of our building, too. The room was nice. Rustic but comfortable. Kind of like staying at one of the YMCA's in the mountains of Colorado. Beware of the thin walls, though. Use your inside voice. The next morning I was blown away when I walked out the front door of our room and the upper falls were right there! I must have taken 20 pictures. Being across from the lobby was very convenient. We took the valley tram tour (I highly recommend it) and it left from right in front of the lobby. A shuttle stop is located there, too. The trail head to the falls is right across the road from the lodge. The Yosemite Village is about a mile away via a flat bike/people path. The shuttle bus will also take you there. We took advantage of the amenities at the lodge, also. Since it was still early in the season, some of the outlets were closed. The Base Camp food court was so-so with a pretty limited menu. The lounge was a good place to order a glass of wine and then sit outside. The real treat, however, was the Mountain Room restaurant (reservations required). Real fine dining. Filet Mignon with Béarnaise ! As you can tell, we had a pretty good time.
