We were unfortunately in the smaller, 1-story building, and did not enjoy our stay. The doors are thin and have a large gap at the bottom, so you can hear every conversation, door slam, etc. happening outside, which left me trying to fall asleep for an hour and a half. The rooms feel like old motel rooms that were refreshed to look modern, but there’s a dinginess around the edges. I can’t imagine anyone ever choosing to stay here as a destination unto itself - it survives because of its proximity to Yosemite.

Good for visiting Yosemite.

I picked this hotel as it was close to a Yosemite NP entry gate. I was advised that check-in was strictly 4:30pm and not a minute earlier. Feeling tired after a long drive and with no options of things to do at the property at 3pm we had no option but to drive more!! I know time is required for room changeover but would be nice to see some accommodation of weary travellers! Apart from that we had a good stay. We had a room near the cafe and it was quite spacious and well appointed. As it faced the road we were a little bothered by the external lighting coming in through our window. We had an early dinner in the cafe which had good food options and staff were very good. All good and a good location for visiting Yosemite.

Stayed there for 2 nights with family. Got to our room in 604 and noticed that the toilet is clogged. Called the front desk and was told by the lady that it usually takes time for the water to drain. I requested from her for a lodge staff to check it but was told that she’s by herself and no one is available. She had us get a toilet plunger instead. My husband who tried to remedy the situation, walked to the Yosemite Lodge front desk lobby to get the toilet plunger. Of course, the plunger didn’t work! Didn’t call the front desk again since it was already after hours. Disaster happened the following morning when me and my family were getting ready for our trip to Yosemite Park. Toilet was still clogged and this time, dirty water was already coming out from the shower tub drain. Called the front desk, no one answered, so had to personally walk there disgusted and very upset. A different front desk lady was apologetic and moved us to another room. It was such a horrible, terrible and stressful experience! We will never ever ever again stay in this property.

Buck Meadows is great for saving money during an extended trip to Yosemite- it's clean, quiet, and does the job. Having the Lucky Buck restaurant right next door was convenient- my family's favorites were the french toast, steak and soft pretzel. Staff were friendly and the place filled up later on and had a nice atmosphere. We went down the road to the Iron Door Saloon the next night- the ribs were fantastic/ highly recommend, and local beer on tap. The Buck Meadows room we stayed in was small but clean- the bathroom was nice and big. We had some trouble with the TV but the front desk walked us through resetting the cable box. Some things about the room that weren't great: there was a pretty good sized gap at the bottom of the door. Winter temps got into the 20s/30s at night. Some weather stripping would solve that easily. My husband used his jacket to stop cold air from entering the room (I don't like hearing the heater constantly turning on all night and our 5-year-old is a light sleeper). Our kids are big and we camp, so no real problem, but if I was staying here with a baby I may have felt differently about that gap. Also it took a very long time for hot water to reach our room, in the summertime no big deal, but in the winter it's a drag to have your hand in freezing water for that long. Overall I'd stay here again when traveling on a budget or just needing a place to crash after a full day of serious hiking without little kids.
