The basic loft room I got is pretty well maintained, clean and spacious. The location is very convenient to go to the Yosemite National Park. The only downside is no good food options in the area, and not a fan of the hotel restaurant. Overall a nice stay.

Perfect for a large family!

I can’t even tell you how perfect this resort was for our family’s Yosemite trip!! It was close to the park, comfortable, and there was so much to do. We enjoyed the food at the restaurant, and absolutely loved the jacuzzis and family game room. We will never stay anywhere else when we go to Yosemite!! Room 1103 was nothing short of perfect!

I think this place has great value overall. A short drive from the park entrance. Our river view room was great. Having the bath in our room was great. The kitchenette was what we needed to have home cooked meals. The games room and swimming pool were great. It lost a star for me because the lift was non operational for most of our stay and we were in the top floor (had a decent amount of luggage to and from the room).

We booked the "house" room, the view from the rooms are beautiful. The amenities, game room, in door heated pool, are perfect for families. Little issues with downstairs neighbors who live on site or an employee who had family visiting and booked a room. We noticed staff were hanging out with the occupants below and had music blasting till 2am.& little kids running around screaming till midnight. It was frustrating. This is coming from a mother of 6 who were there enjoying a double birthday weekend.The rooms were spacious and perfect for our family size. Beds are very soft so if you like it you'll appreciate them. Main bathroom off living room was a double shower head, but didn't work. Toilet had to be constantly messed with because it would not always fill flush tank. The coffee machine did not work so they did replace it. For the winter time there wasn't a real need to have the living room fan on unless you like to burn dishes and need the fan to work. There were more pluses than negatives which made the stay worth it for our family. Just little annoyances to deal with that were not a deal breaker but should be noted. DO NOT PLAN TO EAT AT THE RESTAURANT ON SITE!!! Over priced and they up charged at the end but couldn't explain the additional charge on RESTAURANT copy. I took both copies. $25 burger and condiments were a bottle of best food mayo and ketchup, mustard? Eat on site at Yosemite curry village

Excellent location and cooking facilities

The lodge offers a great location -- in a valley two miles before the entrance to the park -- and excellent cooking facilities (electric hobs and well-equipped kitchen). The aircon / heating works well, too. There is a convenience store on site.

Enjoyed my dinner at the river restaurant. Comfortable hotel to rest at night. Will stay there again. Next time, will bring groceries to cook simple meals since it has a well resourced kitchenette .
