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 Wi-Fi is extra and the shower was awful, so outdated and gross looking.
Our room with a patio overlooked the raging Merced River which was a real bonus. The only reason I didn't give it an excellent rating was the awful coffee in the room and no free coffee urn n the reception area, unless you paid for it.

Other than the tired, dated decor, this hotel was excellent. Our room was a 2 room suite with a nice size balcony with Mountain View. There are several pools and hot tubs, both inside and out, which was nice after hiking all day. On site restaurant served delicious food and had amazing views of cascades. Closest hotel to Yosemite.
Coffee machine in the room was not functional. Otherwise the facility was fine.

The location is quite beautiful. The building we were in may have been partially renovated. The room did look quite worn and a bit of a smell of old smoke even though it was non-smoking may have just been old carpet. Also received two tiny pillows per bed, not large things but for the cost, the room could definitely have been better. Had to pay for Wi-Fi from External. The pools were beautiful and plenty full for families. The games room requires maintenance as things were broken or not working we never saw any staff the entire time in there.

LOVED our room and how close it is to Yosemite. The river right outside our room was the BEST!!!

Expedia has check-in listed as 3 PM but the property insisted that check-in is at 4 PM. We came along way to wait for almost 1 hour before we were able to enjoy the room and the amenities since we were only there one night it was very disappointing.
The room for the price subpar. Not even a comforter on the bed a very thin sheet, a tiny pillow and a king size bed one shampoo mix with conditioner, and a very tiny small soap really ridiculous.
I enjoyed the balcony view of the room. It faced the Merced River. I did not enjoy the second split story of the building. It was very difficult to bring my luggage to my room. The elevator did not go all the way to my room floor. There was no one available to help me. They had a nice kitchen with a stovetop, microwave, refrigerator and kitchen sink. Fireplace was nice. You had to pay separate for WiFi. Who does that?
Very convenient to Yosemite. Facilities are nice. Room was very nice with a great balcony overlooking the river. Staff was nice and helpful. Downside was the food in the restaurant was just okay and there are really no other options.
They are so bad, they don't give FREE WIFI, you have to pay another company, they try to "milk" you for some extra money. Each payment could only use 2 devices. Ridiculous, even for $360 per night room. Don't give FREE WIFI. The reason people stay there, because it is close to the entrance of the yosemite park
It’s well accommodation if you’re planning coming to Yosemite. Since it’s just a 20 mins drive away from the park. With a nice views. 10/10 for the service.
I booked a room with river view, but when I checked in, the staff said I had to pay extra $80 for a room with river view! That is ridiculous, totally unacceptable!
To our pleasant surprise, we were given a room along the raging Merced River that had a fireplace and a large area out the back right along the river. It was beautiful and appreciated having the option to dine right there in the restaurant!
It would be cool if there were golf carts who could take you from one end of the property to the other end. We were attending a wedding and booked rooms at different times so some family members were too far away. Room cleaning knocked on our door at 10 am when check out is 11 am and we were in the middle of getting ready for the wedding.
Have a great this a two-star facility at best. If you stay here you will understand why. The only bonuses the location but the facility has seen it's Happy Days.
30 min drive to Yosemite valley, 1 hour drive to Mariposa grove. No cell phone signal. Fee for Wi-Fi. In room refrigerator, microwave, burners, utensils, plates very convenient. Convenience store in lobby is great. Free coffee in lobby is better than the in room coffee. Neighbors and highway traffic can be noisy but only for short times.
The lodge is very convenient if you are planning on going to Yosemite as it is only 5 minutes away from the entrance. The staff is wonderful and the store in the lobby is excellent. It has everything you could possibly need.
Nice place and nice people but when you pay a good amount for a hotel room you don't expect to get dinged $10 for Wi-Fi. And that's only good for two devices.
