It was fine. Our beds were comfortable and the room was clean until we got ants in our kitchenette and trash can. For the price we paid, I expected a little more, but I guess we were paying for the location, which was great. Overall, it was a good stay.

Great spot and close to the park gate! As close as you can get without staying in the park. Make sure you stop in Oakhurst or Mariposa on the way in for water and food cause options are limited. The pizza place on site is good and the lobby store is well stocked.

Good place to consider

The location is great, you are within 10 minutes to the entrance of Yosemite off of route 140. It gets booked up quickly. We had a Mountain View room with balcony and it was pretty. Bathroom was clean and there was a small kitchenette in the room with minimal kitchenware. The room looked a little dated but clean. If you want service you have to let front office know. There is a dining room and bar with pizza orders. Reasonable pricing and service when you compare other lodges during peak season. I would stay here again and I recommended it to a few friends. There is a swimming pool.
