    location, river view was really nice, very close to the park

    the kitchen equipment did not work well. freezer did not freeze ice cream that we purchased and melted it everywhere. decor is a bit dated, the tv only has cable. Wifi did not work well at all. Still, the overall experience was fine, but I did find it $$$

    10Verified guestPosted on: 10-3-2024

    The river view

    Gap between the bottom Of the entrance door and floor is too wide; you can hear people passing by

    10Verified guestPosted on: 9-29-2024

    The hotel was very nice and clean and location was great. Check in/ check out was quick and easy.

    10AmyPosted on: 9-25-2024

    Our room was great, it had a balcony overlooking the river, the room was nicely appointed, the beds were comfortable and the location was great as it was within 2 miles of the Arch Rock entrance to Yosemite and about 20-30 mins to Yosemite Valley.

    You are far from anything other than the park so dining options are limited

    10HarrietPosted on: 9-19-2024

    The location was incredible. The staff very friendly and helpful. The restaurant was exceptionally good!

    8IrisPosted on: 8-25-2024

    Got charged for $20 and I have no idea what that was. Never got an explanation or receipt from them. Breakfast is not free you have to go to the river restaurant which is one of the only two restaurants in the lodge. And the food is under average.

    1JasonPosted on: 6-25-2024

    Location to Yosemite was excellent and why we choose here

    Where do I begin. This hotel is in serious need of updating. Rooms were from the 70s. I understand it's a lodge , but with what they charge it could be updated a little bit. We lost power from 7pm till 2am EV Vehicle couldn't charge.

    10Verified guestPosted on: 6-21-2024

    It was close to the NP and there are a lot of pools/hot tubs.

    Shower out dated but the rest of the room was great.

    9Verified guestPosted on: 6-7-2024

    Location to Yosemite National Park. Balcony with river view worth extra cost.

    If bathroom window open, people walking by can look in. Lots of light comes through bathroom window. Would shut door to block light but bathroom would get warm & stuffy.

    9SeanPosted on: 6-4-2024

    Location can't be beat, just 20 minutes from the heart of Yosemite Valley. Having a balcony overlooking the raging river was the highlight of our 1-night stay. There is a large general store on site with beverages and groceries. Room had kitchenette.

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 3-15-2024

    The location and all the staff, they are so helpful

    You cannot make or receive calls. The wifi is expensive and not included. The restuarant needs to be open for lunch.

    6Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 11-16-2023

    Generally clean and tidy room and grounds. Nice staff.

    No AT&T cellular service and WiFi is $10/day. TV was small mostly low definition channels. The cover to the mini split heater fell off when I turned it on crashed to the floor. You could see where somebody had taped it in place at one point.

    3KevinPosted on: 11-14-2023

    Location near Yosemite National Park.

    Run down, neglected property. Mold in shower, NO grab bars in shower, bath sink stopped up, no t.p. holder, no room # on phone guide, fire dept. instructions in elevator scratched out, HVAC temperature control erratic, no electrical outlets at beds etc.

    10MarioPosted on: 11-12-2023

    The staff was awesome, went as far as showing me another room if I wasn¿t satisfied with mine. The room was perfect. The restaurant on hotel grounds had amazing food, drinks and prices. Excellent scenery, and close proximity to the park and valley.

    One of the best hotel experiences I had in all my travels

    10Verified Hotel GuestPosted on: 10-25-2023

    Location. Room facilities (kitchenette). Riverside fire pits. Pools.

    10Jacquelyn RPosted on: 10-21-2023

    Beautiful setting and view. Loved the patio overlooking the river. Appreciated and used the mini kitchen with cooking supplies and dishes. The gift shop has groceries although expensive met needs for fixing breakfast The staff great at check in

    High prices for essentials at the food market.

    8JavadPosted on: 9-12-2023

    The location was amazing. The hut tub with jets in the room was very relaxing after a long day hike.

    WiFi cost is $10 for a room you already pay over $--- for it. Restaurant could be nicer with better foods.
