Location to Yosemite very good. Restaurant just steps from your door. Clean room. Food was good in the Lucky Buck restaurant. Front desk was very accommodating to changing our room to a first floor room because he had broken his arm on our trip. Thank you!

Excellent Hotel With One Issue

This is a great hotel near Yosemite National Park. The location is convenient for sightseeing in the park, and the property is well-maintained. Location: This hotel is located in the small town of Buck Meadows (population 50), roughly 20-25 minutes from the west entrance of Yosemite and 10-15 minutes from Groveland, which is a slightly larger town. The location is remote, so it may help to get all supplies before arriving. Service/Amenities: We arrived in the late afternoon and left early morning, so I only encountered one employee here at the front desk. She was friendly and efficient, and we could check in slightly early. No issues with the customer service. The hotel features an on-site restaurant, outdoor pool, and laundry room. The restaurant has excellent food and service. In addition, they have a few gazebos and outdoor seating areas. Room: We paid extra for a larger room with a sofa bed and were satisfied with the accommodation overall. It was incredibly spacious and clean for the most part, and appeared newly renovated. Other Points: - The lodge is composed of five two-story buildings, which do not have elevators. You will want to request a first floor room if you cannot use stairs because you can drive up to those rooms. - The lobby is closed between 10 pm and 8 am, but a key dropbox is available if you are leaving early. - They do not provide free breakfast, but you can eat at the restaurant. The main reason why I am giving a 4-star review: one of our beds had three pillows with long hair on them upon arrival. Not a great first impression. However, the other bed and rest of the room were immaculate. I would definitely recommend this hotel. As long as you go in with reasonable expectations, you’ll enjoy your stay here.

Upgraded room experience. Highly recommended

Great location, very nice, clean, and a modern place. The staff were friendly and we got our room upgraded. The beds and pillows were soft and the rest of furniture looked great. Our overall stay was excellent. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Yosemite.

Convenient and comfortable accommodations

The room was spacious and clean. Plenty of electrical outlets that were easily accessible. The pool and the hot tub or wonderful for relaxing after a long day at Yosemite. Drive to Yosemite was about 25 minutes. The drive to the little town of Groveland is 15 minutes. We had a great dinner there one night at the historic iron door saloon. All in all a perfect spot for our two night stay at a reasonable cost. Staff was helpful and friendly also.

It’s noisy. The adjoining room, set off a fart/stink bomb under our door. The floors were filthy. The bathroom sink and sink area smelled of vomit. The older (60’s) male Manager (of Indian decent) doesn’t care, not about any thing you tell him. Unfortunately, I forgot my expensive airbuds and RX meds in the room near the nightstand. I called the front desk immediately, and several times that day to inquire about them only to be told that “people come and go everyday”…when I asked if he’d check with the housekeepers, or check “lost and found”, or take my name in the event they were found and turned-in, he pretends he doesn’t understand. She (assuming his wife) was just as abrasive and unfriendly as him.
