This quaint gem was the perfect stop for weary travelers leaving Yosemite after dark. Located just before the treacherous trek through the mountain roads. The beds were comfortable, pillows supportive and towels plush. The room was stocked thoughtfully with coffee, tea, water and snacks. Though the temperature of the room was perfect, there were both space heaters and fans available. The adjacent restaurant served delicious food. The manager was kind as were the restaurant staff. Other posts mention the rooms are not sound proof, but honestly I’ve never stayed in a hotel that was sound proof. When we stay all other guests were respectful and quiet and we slept soundly. A tad pricey but worth it to not drive through the mountains in the dark.

Historic atmosphere, modern conveniences

Wonderfully historic site, with plenty of information about the background. Interesting, lively but still restful decor, and incredibly helpful and pleasant management. The bed was surprisingly firm, water temperature and pressure were great and the local Mexican food was stellar.

Excellent service and the food and drinks were excellent. Had an excellent steak and also a vegan beat steak option. Fantastic! Rooms are clean and comfortable. Cool to stay in a building that is a part of history. The patio area outside is really nice.

Very Rustic, Clean, old West Style Hotel Next to Yosemite

Great location outside Yosemite. This is a "rustic hotel" and we enjoyed it. Yes rooms are dated, doors don't fit squarely, and rooms are not soundproof. Still, they were clean, everything worked, refrigerator in room, and a tasty continental breakfast with long hours of availability. The grounds have plenty of areas for socializing, and it has the feel of an old west hotel. The environmental controls (AC for us in Sept) worked perfectly. If you want a clean comfortable place to stay outside the gates of Yosemite, and/or want to see what it's like staying in an old west hotel, the Groveland Hotel is a great place.
