With route 41 closed for the Washburn fire, there were only a couple other families staying there so it was quiet. The cabin we stayed in was right next to the woods. The breakfast was very good! And we had enough towels and washcloths for the number of people registered for the room. That seems to be a challenge for most other places we’ve stayed recently.
Be weary of this property! The staff is odd/creepy. The room was smelly (mildew). The showery is seriously tiny and the shower head felt like a pressure washer.
I wouldn’t ever stay here again.
Cozy place. Clean. Breakfast was ok. No air conditioning nor tv which was fine. Staff extremely friendly and accommodating.

The breakfast was good, and efficient. The rooms are small and the shower is quite small. It is adequate, and the big draw is the closeness to the Pak south entrance. It is also close to the Tenaya Lodge, which is beautiful (but pricey) but you can enjoy their lobby, grounds and restaurants.
The pro: Very close to the Yosemite Park entrance.
But the room was that of a run down motel with the price of a Holiday Inn.

5 minutes from the National Park gate. Whisper soft air conditioners. Silent community surrounds. Super attentive staff. A basic clean and functional property. I'd happily stay again.
Arrived early like before 12pm from a long driving from SD and the staff told us that she is alone and cannot entertain us - I ask her where can we wait and said I don’t know drive around and come back by 3pm…

Sorry our check out time is 11 am. Our housekeeping staff does their best to get rooms done as soon as possible. Thank you for your feed back
We were looking for somewhere close to the entrance of Yosemite - this certainly fit that requirement. It is an old lodge but clean and the breakfast was better than what we were provided by a hotel in San Francisco. Also, the lady responsible was so very friendly & helpful. We really enjoyed chatting with her.

The property is somewhere between rustic and decrepit. But they have no doubt been affected by the pandemic, and are trying to hire people and recover. It is two miles from the entrance to Yosemite, the beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was good. I'm hoping they hang in there so that I can use them in the future.
The location is 3 miles to the Yosemite Park entrance and 37 miles to the Valley Floor. There is a nice General store in town and great restaurants in Oak Hurst 11 miles away. The cabins are nice but old fashion and more than adequate
staff was excellent. The gentleman who checked us in was very helpful and had a lot of good information for us. the room was clean and comfortable. The shower was a bit small, and there wasn't a hair dryer, but everything else was great and these items weren't really a problem. Breakfast was good

I've stayed here before and enjoyed the closeness to Yosemite Park. The staff is wonderful and very helpful in planning activities. The breakfast is a full home-cooked breakfast that is wonderful. The room we had was #6 which was away from the main group of rooms. Walking into the room it was very muggy. The vent in the bathroom didn't work, and the carpet was damp in front of the mini-fridge which froze everything we put in it. I like the Lodge, but it does need to be updated. It looked as if the all repairs were done by an inexperienced DIY'er.

Thank you for your feed back, we will look into the problems you mentioned with the room
Has good wi-fi in room. Has refrigerator and microwave in room. Has private bathroom, in contrast to Wawona where only available rooms at the time had only shared bathrooms you have to go outside in the cold to use.
The hotel room was not cleaned properly before we entered; There were Penny’s from the previous customers tip left on the countertop, the coffee machine had coffee filled inside it still, we had to put the sheets on the bed ourselves, meanwhile the comforter that they never wash was bunched up on top of the suitcase rack inside the closet area. The floors were not vacuumed either and there was other peoples hair in the sink. I’m surprise there were clean towels and sheets folded in a pile on top of the bed. I really did not expect that I would have to put the sheets and pillowcases on myself. The room has a moldy smell.

From what you have written it sounds like your room was completely missed by housekeeping staff. I apologize this is not how we pre pair a room for guest. If brought to our attention it would have been fixed, again I am very sorry this happened
The property is just 5 mins drive away from Yosemite national park. There is a nice lady who manages it, she guided us about the park attractions and have some useful tips. The room was clean and warm and amenities were good. They even have nice wi-fi. The breakfast was quite basic, but overall a wonderful stay. Plenty of parking and nice views. Will definitely stay here again.
The shower booth was super small and the overall property is very old, but the price was very affordable, and the front was friendly. Considering the price and the location, I would recommend staying here.
Cozy little cabin in the middle of nowhere Sierra Nevada Mountains. Very cute. Very Beautiful surroundings. Old “rustic” look. Very helpful front desk lady.
Rooms need update and repairs. Faulty shower valve was dangerous. Need a larger generator for power outages. Beds were comfortable. TV channels were wonky. Walls are paper thin. Hotel manger seemed inconvenienced that we asked for a room with heat during rain and snow storm and power outage. Won't be staying there again.
