I Conveniently located to Yosemite NP, beautiful country. The only drawback was there was no cell phone service at the hotel or surrounding area. They did have WiFi which you could use but it was pretty spotty!

We'd read some really strange reviews about this place so were very apprehensive, but it was very convenient for getting to Yosemite so we decided to go for it. It was an excellent decision. The room was large, well equipped and very quiet. Bed was large and very comfortable. Dining options were great for our needs. Area down to the river was peaceful, well lit and well equipped with seating and areas for BBQs. All staff were charming. Food options in the shop were a bit pricey, but offered a good selection.

Property was good. TV reception in room was terrible. Talked to front desk, was told they couldn’t do anything and would have to inform manager. Never heard back. Strange as it was cable? No offer to fix tv or change rooms. Even after showing a video of the reception.

Staff was exceptional and very responsive. Other than one night when construction workers were housed next door (they were vulgar and loud, fortunately they quieted down by 9:00 pm) the remaining time spent at the lodge was extremely quiet.

Overall rating
The room was clean. However, these rooms do not come cheap so I was amazed that they don't offer wash cloths, and apparently can't afford to install toliet paper holders, it just sits on the counter. My daughter was in another room and had to pack all her stuff back up and move to a different room when she had no hot water. Restaurant is only open 3 hours for breakfast and 3 hours for dinner. I do not know if they offered lunch service. Staff was quite pleasant, which helped when dealing with the issues.
