Good place to stay if going to Yosemite.

It was clean, staff was friendly and very comfortable. Has a nice porch to sit on, activities if you wish to use and a restaurant. Some of the food is good and some not so good, but overall a nice place to stay.

There was suddenly no water in the middle of a shower. Pool is located at the hotel next door and in the middle of a parking lot. Lucky Buck Cafe served homemade food in rich portions and are highly recommended for either breakfast or dinner.

Nice throwback type drive up motel. Clean, plenty of towels, and had the basics like a LaQuinta or Fairfield Estates. (Except no breakfast provided. )But...just a short walk to the restaurant. After being in Yosemite, it was nice to have this lodging about an hour out from the Park.

The room was clean and had nice amenities. Unfortunately this property had very offensive outdoor lights that they left on uselessly all night long even that ridiculous light on the porch of our cabin which we could not turn off. It made sitting on the porch horrible. You could not see a single star because of the inappropriate offensive bright outdoor lighting. HOrrible. WOuld never stay there again.

Great little lodge just outside of Yosemite. I stayed here for a night after a 4 day backpacking trip and it was the perfect spot to rest and recover. The onsite laundry facility and restaurant make it a great home base for exploring the park.
