The room we got was a good deal. The room was clean, it had the amenities we needed for our stay, and the conditions were acceptable. The front office staff was was helpful and professional, which was different from my previous stay here, when the person at the front office was not very welcoming. My only complaint from this room was the bathroom sink, which drained slowly, and the wall conditions under the sink, which seemed to need some work. Over all, it was a good stay, and I would definitely book again.

Very good location esp for EV drivers!

Location wise this is a great place to stay especially if you have an EV. There is an Electrify America charging station at the hotel which we found to be invaluable when travelling in and around Yosemite. The elevation and cold ate up our battery much more than anticipated. There is also a covered YARTs stop right outside and a restaurant that's open evenings and weekends in winter that was also really handy as there's not much food wise in the surrounding area. Our almost 3 year old appreciated the play ground and the giant carved bear outside. Our beds were reasonably comfortable but we didn't sleep too well as the heating system was very noisy and came on every half hour or so. We realised that there was quite a draught coming under our door that kept cooling the room. The room was clean, including the carpets and the Deluxe room was a good size for us with our toddler and had a very comfortable sofa bed. Overall a little in need of modernisation but still a very good option near Yosemite.

What a gem!! This lodge was very updated, clean, quiet and convenient to entering Yosemite. We will stay there again!! I’m sure the pool and hot tub are opening in the spring and summer, but they were not in the winter. They also have a great playground area for kids. I’d rate this an 11 out of 10

One of the best places to stay !

We loved staying at the YWL. It is conveniently located very close to the Big Oak Flat entrance. Our room was great, super-good amenities (wi-fi, USB charging), easy/fast check-in and check-out, great food at the Luck Buck Cafe next door (lots of vegetarian/vegan options !).. I would say it was part of the reason we had such a great trip to Yosemite !
