First, our reservation made at Expedia was not honored by the lodge . We had changed our reservation to have a a two bedroom suite and we were given a two bed room. The room assigned to us was surrounded by major restoration to the surrounding rooms. Loud noises, knocking on walls, knocking on our door randomly. We had chosen a room with a river view to enjoy nature and it was completely ruined . We brought our concerns to management and the assistant manager “Viri” responded that maintenance needed to occur and that there was nothing she could do and that we had a problem to take it up with Expedia . Zero accountability on her part. I understand that maintenance has to occur but they can definitively block the areas where it’s going to occur so that guest are not woken up at 8 am with extremely loud noises . I wish I could upload a video of the situation, it was ridiculously loud. Expedia ended up giving us a $50 credit for the inconvenience but the management at the lodge was not useless and rude . They will not help you if you book via third party, they will redirect you somewhere else even they are the only ones in power to do so.

The hotel is situated alongside the beautiful Merced River, and the view from our balcony overlooking the river was beautiful. It is situated very close to Yosemite, which was excellent for traveling into the park for exploring each day. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, and the on-site restaurant and bar was crucial after a long day. I’d highly recommend this hotel. I’m very happy with our stay.

Honestly I will be back to stay at this lodge again! I was able to bring my dog and it is so close to Yosemite! It was great. Parking was rough but I will return! Food at the restaurant was terrible ! It took over an hour r, my burger was rare and it was just too expensive! I should have gotten a refund!

Good size room. Very clean and updated. Room has a small kitchenette. Utensils, bowls and glasses are spotless and in good condition. Bring your own napkins and paper towels as they are not provided. Close to park entrance and short drive to Yosemite Valley. The only thing I don’t like about is the very soft bed. I didn’t sleep well.

On our first night stay we had to request a room change. The heater was not working in our original room. We tried adjusting the heater temperature, but it was only blowing cold air. The outside temperature was already very cold. we were in our room having to wear our hoodies and beanies to keep warm. After getting moved to a room with a working heater, we had to call the front desk again. Our TV was not working. No one showed up on that night, we had to call back again on the following day to get that issue fixed. After that was taken care of it was good. But it was a big incoveniece not having a working TV
