Great general store open until 11pm to stock up for your park visit. Pizza restaurant onsite and breakfast buffet (not included) were delicious & convenient. This hotel is right outside of Yosemite NP so you can’t beat the location.

This was the perfect place to stay while sightseeing in Yosemite for a couple of days. It's only a couple of miles form one of the western entrances whish was really nice. The rooms were nice and the views of the river from our balcony were stunning. It was nice having pools and hot tubs to relax after a long in the park. We enjoyed the restaurants, especially the breakfast buffet.

Great location, minutes from the El Portal entrance, great pools, Tesla charging stations for EVs, wonderful roaring river behind property to enjoy from the balcony. kitchen was helpful as dining has limited (but ok) options. Note: bed could be more comfortable (but serviceable), and there are no freezers in the mini-frig for ice packs.

Garbage bags just sitting outside of the rooms. There is no internet. There is no cell service. There is WiFi but it’s so slow you can’t do anything. If you have T-Mobile or AT&T, there is zero service. The rooms are definitely old, the bedding is at least 10yrs old it has visible wear and tear. The water pressure is pretty low. Everything appeared to be clean. Balcony on the river is nice but this is a budget hotel not what they amp it up to be online. At best these rooms shouldn’t go above $200 a night during peak season. I paid $360. They also charge $6 additional tax per day which isn’t stated here on Expedia. There are no elevators to the 2nd level of rooms so if you have a lot of luggage requests floor unit. Actually just stay elsewhere if possible. I know it’s close to the park but you’re not getting what you pay for. Breakfast is $21/person it’s a buffet, the food was good tho and plenty of options. I don’t recommend this place unless you really feel you don’t have another option.

The great part is the location. By Yosemite standards this lodge is right next door. We had considered AirB&Bs that claimed to be close to Yosemite. Close in this country is a relative term. But this property is literally less than 10 minutes from the gate. We ate at both restaurants on site and thought the food was just OK. The bottom line, when visiting Yosemite is that it’s best to consider food as fuel. Don’t be expect a great dining experience. Eat simple and go enjoy the park.
